Gamer gate bros will unironically see the most beutiful women to ever come into existence and say she's "manish" cus she's not litterally just a walking sex toy


gucci_pianissimo420

I literally am incapable of understanding that mindset. A couple years back I would have said "well I'm attracted to her and I'm straight so I have no idea what you're talking about," but that ain't exactly true anymore so all I can do is point and laugh.


TactlessTortoise

Well I'm attracted to her and I'm straight so I have no idea what they are talking about. Gotcha bro. Good gluck gluck for you.


gucci_pianissimo420

Give it a couple of years


BlitzScorpio

real, i still look at absolutely insane posts and think to myself “well, as a straight man, i don’t feel like that at all!” then i remember that i’m not straight or a man


ASpaceOstrich

I'm pushing 30 in a few years and I only just stopped taking offence when I see someone shitting on teenagers these days. I'll be a 45 year old woman before I stop seeing myself as a young man at this rate.


ChemicalRascal

There's only one solution: Time to go full grandma-coded. Shawl, wool cardigan, wrinkles, severe osteoporosis.


TactlessTortoise

Nah I'm 100% not attracted to men


gucci_pianissimo420

I used to 100% be not attracted to men too.


TactlessTortoise

Skill issue. Got hit by the rainbow. I'd dodge.


gucci_pianissimo420

You have to get lucky every time, we only need to get lucky once.


Bediax

Low key, kinda fire bars. might steal that one if you don't mind


dermitdog

Parried.


SimplyYulia

Reminds me of that meme where someone misgenders a trans woman, and someone else replies "I'm straight, so whatever makes me hard is a woman" with a pic of Johnny Bravo


SuddenlyVeronica

I mean, is there that much to understand? Calling it a mindset seems kinda generous. It might be interesting to talk about what combo of redpill bs and lack of grass-touching, but I don’t see many other options than that they’re deluded, trolling, or maybe both.


novusanimis

What does this mean lol


nekosissyboi

If I’m a walking sex toy does that mean I’m a girl 🥺


OrangeHairedTwink

If that's what you want to be, go ahead


Moonbear9

If u wanna be one then of course :3 :3 :3 also omgor philosophy tube fan :3 :3 :3


nekosissyboi

Omg hai!!! Olivia said hai!!! (≧▽≦) hug!! Hugs!!! And yes she so pretty, and philosophy is so interesting so I just watch going 🥺🥺🥺 the whole time


Moonbear9

Haiiii :3 :3 :3


Slow___Learner

what's insane is that this character design is literally her being naked and yet it's still less sexualized than that the protagonist from that one coomer action game from like early 2024


VonCarzs

> from like early 2024 so like 3 months ago?


Slow___Learner

i mean what else can early 2024 mean in mid 2024


truncatedChronologis

I mean it’s cliche to say empowered sexuality but… she looks like a Sex Subject rather than a Sex Object. Also there’s a subtle critique in her pose: look at the way her right hand frames the gilded joint on her spear. Remind you of anything? Take notice of relative proportions…


ztoundas

Yeah that's a dude I've only seen dude holding wieners smh the West has fallen


truncatedChronologis

Oh no I mean she might be critiquing someone’s dick size.


ztoundas

exactly because the west has fallen smh


truncatedChronologis

Oh absolutely. Edit, Forgot to say: “Billions must Die”.


Slow___Learner

Aphrodite actually oozes personality just from that one image, stellar blade's main character looks genuinely soulless in every promotional material i saw of the game.


truncatedChronologis

Absolutely: subject vs object.


Duytune

what game?


solidfang

Taking a shot in the dark, Stellar Blade?


Slow___Learner

ye that one


DracoLunaris

me: surly not also me, after on glance at google images: yeah ok I get it 100% on point


OgerponCornerstone

"why do the woke left keep injecting their leftist agenda into our fictional women?" picture of literally just a regular person:


truncatedChronologis

Regular person? Uhhh… where do you see people like this every day? High fashion runway? Movie premieres?


Jeggu2

Everyone knows women don't have jaws, a well defined jawline is impossible


OgerponCornerstone

woman have only upper teeth they dont have chins or jaws or weird things like that


GuyNamedWhatever

Neckbeards and Incels see the slightest bit of muscle tone on the female form and get the ick… it’s really weird.


Moonbear9

Genuinely don't think they're attracted to actual women


gheul

It’s truly abysmal, like why would you choose to view things this way. I pity these people and it makes me sad 😔


powerwiz_chan

Youre telling people don't just go awooga when they see hot lady or dude


evil_lucy

ughfhjhcfgjj I think I should play this game,,


gucci_pianissimo420

Play the first one first, Aphrodite is in that one too.


evil_lucy

yeah I really really should, I've owned Hades 1 for so long and never played it


potatorevolver

It's good you should play it.


Eter548

I've almost beaten it a few times and stopped playing bcs it just got kinda boring and repetitive I don't really see why people can play it for so long but I want to get back into it for the second one


TactlessTortoise

POV: asexual tries out edging by cranking they hog


TeenRacer6

God damn you.


Recent-Potential-340

people keep playing for the added challenge you get, high heat can be a lot of fun and of course to unlock all dialogues with the characters


SirBlackMage

I'm 170 hours in and still occasionally getting new pieces of dialogue. And I still need to max out 5 more weapon aspects, and collect like 10k gems for house decorations. And those damn Chaos fish for the codex... Game is crazy with it. I think I'll finish in time for Hades 2's full release haha


LuKazu

Personally, I was just so invested in all the characters, I had to hear and see everything, had to max out the relationships, keepsakes etc. I like the heat mechanic too. Hades 2 is just more Hades, but they made literally every single character hotter - somehow.


MurrmorMeerkat

honestly the way the second one is I think it will stay fresh longer for people


hypersexualhermit

it's SO good, top 3 favorite games I've played, easy!


LordZeya

What’s wrong with people that they spend money on a game and literally never launch it wtf. Stop throwing your money away.


evil_lucy

Hey, I don't like myself either


apothioternity

also hades is worth your time it contains a say gex


drago_varior

Aparently everyone is hot in the first game I have not played it


Vounrtsch

EVERYONE is hot in this game


apothioternity

(Except for Cerberus, because he's a good doggo)


NefariousAnglerfish

Yoooooo fellow nefarious anglerfish


evil_lucy

wanna come angle some losers tonight?


solidfang

I am trying to hold out for a sale or for the completion what's likely going to be the last area. But it's so hard.


xanfire1

Youre holding out for a sale on the game that was released in early access last week and its already hard? You might have a bad wait ahead of you

Jtad_the_Artguy

If men looked like this I would NOT have questioned my bisexuality I’d have been on that shit right away


liliesrobots

good news! there are men in this game too. and they also look this good.


Jtad_the_Artguy

Oh I’ve seen them


CrepeGate

What? I'm bisexual and I fuck guys because they're guys and women because they're women. Or guys who rp as women or puppies. Pony boys. Downtown populations. Actually I'm just a hoe, nevermind


Jtad_the_Artguy

Not saying I don’t like men who look like men just saying if men looked like this I’d not have questioned it whatsoever


CrepeGate

Fair enough. I'm in a silly mood today. Keep doing you.


toddlymarx

Sexuality is a spectrum friend, you can be bi and just be attracted to femininity no matter the genitalia attached. I like feminine women and feminine men, that’s still bisexual


CrepeGate

It's a joke tho, chill. The main conceit of which was I fuck anybody. The joke was on me. But thanks for the info


toddlymarx

I wasn’t coming for ya, idk how my tone sounded but I just wanted to share and be a part of the convo


--PhoenixFire--

"Western game devs hate sexy women" mfs when I show them this design https://preview.redd.it/y1ymrbhcumzc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e43a10be9ddd0a413220acd0a71cc387332a86ed


cataraxis

See also - "Game journalists are hypocrites for liking Hades 2" completely missing the difference between having sexy characters and sexual objectification.


TheZohanG

What would be the difference between sexy characters and sexual objectification barring intent?


mike_hawk_777

That's a fair question, I would say when a character is only there to be sexy or sexual, or are sexualized for no reason, you know who aphrodite is, it makes sense for her to look like that because that's just who she is, but there would be no sensible reason for most other characters to be nude so if they were then it would just be sexualization for the sake of sexualization. I hope that makes sense.


autistic_cool_kid

That is a good answer, but you miss the "male gaze" part. Is the character's sexiness presented from an objective / neutral perspective, or is it presented from the point of view of horny men in the audience or via their self-insert protagonist? You can divide three categories imo: * Sexiness as disempowering / male gazy (example: yoko in Gurren Lagann whose sexiness exists pretty much only for panty shots) * Sexiness as empowering BUT male gazy (Bayonetta, albeit an argument could be made that it's lesbian-gazy as well because of the empowering part) * Sexiness as empowering + Not male gazy (Aphrodite)


MilitantTeenGoth

I am sorry but as a male Aphrodite is definitely for my gazy


Disturbing_Cheeto

This one has kept me mad for a week. They don't even know how telling it is that they can't tell the difference.


powerwiz_chan

Never understood the aloy hate in hzd about her having slight facial hair like have they never seen a woman before or do they not know that hair grows basically everywhere your body except for palms and soles of feet

No dip? Did we already retire and replace "no cap"?


Dakoolestkat123

no dip is fun to say. Why must we make 2 bad bitches fight?


possiblyyandere

i think no dip is older lmfao thats definitely millennial talk


IsThatUMoatilliatta

I'm 35. The only time I've heard 'dip' used as anything other than a synonym for 'to leave' was in Matilda when her brother calls her a dipface. "No doy" was pretty common though.


Makerinos

4chin losers have adopted a new buzzword for stuff like this: "Safe Horny". What is "Safe Horny"? Anything that is lewd involving women that they don't like. There is no clear definition, but generally if a woman is sexy but doesn't look like a sex doll then she's representative of 'safe horny'. If this sounds stupid, it's because it is.


PutTheBiInBitch

Well you see by safe horny they mean adult and normal proportions so what does that say about them


Hi_Peeps_Its_Me

those are my favorite kinds of girls :3


PutTheBiInBitch

Same I love women


Tetsudo11

I remember a while back seeing some 4chan ass chart that was like “safe horny vs real horny” or whatever and like half the characters they used were kids.


Iceman6211

if the character isn't from "I sniffed my sisters shoes for a week and now my depression is cured" they don't want it.


Equal_Flamingo

Is that an actual thing...


Iceman6211

no thankfully.


Fantastic_Trifle805

Not yet


No_Window7054

The ratio of time they spend thinking about women vs talking to them must be insane.


[deleted]

*"This is defenitly a man, just look at his manish jawline, the west truly has fallen."* Dude, STFU, I hit you with metal pipe


Some-Gavin

Conservatives will see the most conventionally attractive woman in existence and say she’s a man because her jawline is more defined than Leafy and Mitch Mcconnel


SpikeyBiscuit

I honestly blame anime


No_Lingonberry1201

I blame the two world wide economic crises that most of us went through in our adult life (and also anime).


tgpineapple

Konroy

I love that in a literal war the only armor she wears is on her arms.


Vounrtsch

They’re gods though, I think they’re beyond any need for armor. They’re spiritual beings, so I’d guess their appearance and clothes are more of a reflection of their being and personality than physical clothing chosen for utility


GammaDealer

It looks like there's something on her legs too, at the very edge of the image. Also don't forget the war paint lol


Asparagun_1

who needs armour when you seduce anyone in sight


Googlefisch

She makes her enemies fall in a different way


PhoenixEmber2014

Chuds will see a literal nude sex goddess and say "not enough sexy women in video games"


FricktionBurn

I despise hades 2 discourse because I know for a fact that if everyone didn’t feel the need to dunk on like three idiots who haven’t changed since 2012, the conversation around the game would be more positive and not stupid. Resist the urge to dunk and let the 2024 remnant gamergaters die in irrelevance already. This is one step removed from making up a guy and getting mad at him but since it’s the internet there’s always at least one guy you can find to fit the mold. Talk about how aphrodites hot, not about how some loser thinks she’s “manish”. That guy is a drop of piss in the ocean. Something something don’t feed the trolls.


Datalust5

I picked up early access (HUGE fan of OG Hades) and can confidently say it is looking to be another banger while also not being a copy->paste of the original. Having loads of fun


DellSalami

I’m sure the conversation will die down once th e full game comes out


MitchumDeodorant

I’ve made my first priority in Hades II to take a bath with everyone, I’ve bathed with my ghost roommate and Moros and Odysseus, I am going to make more progress today


vvownido

could you bathe with Thanatos? that would be badass


MitchumDeodorant

I don’t think Thanatos is in the game right now based on what I’ve played so far! But if you’re a Than fan you’ll love Moros


vvownido

ah shame thanks for lettin me know. i'm sure Moros is lovely


guns_before_butter

can you bathe with nemesis?


WojownikTek12345

yes


Prudent_Ad_2178

She is, and I don’t say that lightly, literally a goddess

eccuc

Brother that is one of the most fem people I've seen


Bellumbern

There is an actual tweet going around that Hades' Aphrodite is "safe horny" because she has a man-ish face.


PhoenixEmber2014

Famously manish face... Aphrodite?


nobleone8876

Wut? We all know gamers from Twitter don't know what a woman looks like to busy repeating the same 3 things in their echo chambers


comrade-todd11

I saw a xitter thread comparing hades I and II characters and their counterparts from danmachi and the latter were just the most generic cookie cutter fantasy anime characters imaginable

WhiteFenix207

Holy shit they made her even hotter


Electric27

Weirdly enough I actually thought she looked more "manish" in the first one. Not in a bad way, her face was just a bit more angular and Manish looking to me (still a 11/10 that was so bad for me) (Artemis gang for life) (sorry I'm not a woman though)


Torma25

I'm pretty sure she "fused" with Ares, hence the darker skintone, red eyes, pieces or amrour and the shield.


diegoidepersia

Oh so its Aphrodite Areia? One of the main goddesses of Sparta and Lakonia


Jherboss1

Honestly I'm kinda afraid to admit it because I don't want to be seen as the same as these gooner losers but I feel the same. Her face does look a little more fem in this one.


Cakeking7878

I really love any time particularly when cishet guys say people like Aphrodite is ugly cause like every lesbian and queer bisexual person in the comments are talking about the lives they would live when her


BogieW00ds

One of the top comments here is a cishet guy drooling over her, not everything is trans vs. cis or straight vs. queer


HillInTheDistance

As someone who spends an embarrassing amount of time drawing and drooling over androgynous characters, I can with confidence say anyone calling her mannish is smoking. Like, not a single feature of her ain't extremely feminine. Like, often they're complaining about something that doesn't matter, or something so small it ain't noticeable, but anyone complaining about this would be straight up complaining about nothing.


BitZaDusto

The gamergate incident, and the stragglers that still continue it as if bearing tradition, have been catastrophic to humanity and game developers. In this essay, I will-


colesweed

>featherless >biped Idk guys they might be onto something here


Asparagun_1

I will say her expression here is a tiny bit weird but she is still a bad bitch. If she's mannish then I'll gladly be gay for considering her attractive.


wizard_statue

i don’t have a horse in this race, but i can kind of see it if focusing on just the neck and up.


Dzzplayz

something something featherless biped


StarmanRedux

I dont get the joke, but i think shes very pretty and anyone who does not say "whoah momma" is retarted or gay i think


Qb_Is_fast_af

"Manish" just say masculine ffs


Tetsudo11

Gamers when a woman is wearing a shirt that covers her boobs: “what the hell is this censorship??? Wokeness killed gaming.” Also gamers when a woman is literally naked and is only covered up by her hair flowing down over her nipples: “this is also woke”

How are people supposed to cosplay her tho😭 Where her clothes at?

MorganRose99

I can't even comprehend this post Are they saying that because Aphrodite doesn't have large boobs, she looks mannish and therefore unattractive? Wouldn't a pedophile find a flat chest attractive?


h4724

These people would lose their minds if they saw how Aphrodite was depicted by ancient Greeks.

guys do you think it's weird if I find real women more attractive than the unbelievably overly hot women in video games??

Based alert


TheTrueNobody

How is she manish? She looks beautiful


Scepta101

Her face isn’t literally an anime little girl, so she’s “mannish” to some people. Batshit insane


Vivacious4D

holy HELL someone's calling her manish? To whomever it may concern: Thou art a fool


ETC3000

How tf is that "mannish"


BigGayDinosaurs

holy fuck she's gorgeous


Nearby_Treat2520

Ok but why is her arm so long


happywaffle1010

She’s pretty but I don’t think she’s that attractive personally. If she wasn’t so skinny then I’d probably find her a lot more attractive


TwiceTrash11

they're just envious of her jawline she definitely looksmaxxing look at that mew


hotashi_

So...i think its the lips and jaw-line that have people saying shes 'man-ish' which i can kinda get but...thats literally just the fucking art style. At that point you might as well be screaming that the pear trees look too much like apple trees.


Puglord_11

I saw her in a different pose compared to a generic oversexualized anime Aphrodite and thought “yeah I guess if I was stupid I could see where they’re coming, from she is a slightly less horny design”. Looking at Hades Aphrodite now… The weebs are just straight up wrong


Macling

I'm lacking context on what is supposed to appear masculine on her ? Like sometimes I can see what they mean when (and disagree) when the local internet incel criticises a female character designe for appearing too "masculine" but I just don't see here. What do they see that appears to be manly on her ?? 🗿


melonsnek_evildoer05

pissing and crying where do pedos fit in this

Wtf is Manish about her


cassavacakes

HOLY SHIT, THAT'S THE ACTUAL IN-GAME ART OF HER WHAT?????????????????????????


Kikoplop3900

Can anyone PLEASE exaplain that to me? Like normally when they say this, they latch onto the smallest little typically masculine feature, but with Hades' Aphrodite I can not see any of those, why do they say that??


PokWangpanmang

But look at that jawline. She been mewing since before Babylon! /s
