Gamers once more proving they’ve never actually touched grass nor seen an actual woman
Oh fuck off, Angela is a [CW: SV, Self-harm]
spoiler
19-year-old sexual abuse victim who killed her father who abused her and now contemplates self-harm and suicide due to guilt and self-hatred
She was never some fucking video game babe even back in 2001. Characters in the Team Silent games were intentionally realistic and often average looking people
I wanna be scared and horny god damnit this is America
I mean, not to give the any points, but hasn’t this been the function of most of the horror genre for a long time? They’ve always made the scary movies a little horny.
misattribution of arousal and so on
Depends if it’s shlock horror like zombie games or dino crisis then yes Gamers do the big horny, for more psychological horror games such as Silent Hill, Siren, or the Fatal Frame series then most characters are on avg plain or “traditionally good looking” but don’t look like they have a mobile trailer following them to apply make up every couple hours.
Fatal Frame
Compared to Silent Hill and Siren, Fatal Frame’s never gone for absolute photorealism and its female protagonists have basically always looked more like Japanese idols. Not sexualised*, but very pretty with overdesigned outfits you wouldn’t probably realistically wear when exploring an abandoned old Japanese mansion
*That is until Fatal Frame 5, the last game in the series as of now. It’s absolutely full of bouncing boobs everywhere, even on the ghosts, many of whom are buxom babes with tons of cleavage showing. The game also had a wet t-shirt mechanic that allowed you to see the characters’ underwear through their clothing
Modding female characters in Silent Hill 2 to look more like fuck-dolls has to be a whole new level of missing the point of the story.
What if we had a psychological horror game about average people trapped in hell but the average people were actually 10/10 smokeshows?
