But only Stellar Blade seems to be getting negative coverage over the horniness. Admittedly I'm very out of the loop here and I'm just going off random comments and headlines I've been seeing. What's the deal here? Is it because the Stellar Blade bros are making it into some kinda boys club type shit or something

There's a character in Hades 2 that's completely naked with her private areas covered with her long hair. I'd post a screen of it but, y'know.

Hades 2 is tasteful.

Stellar Blade is also probably tasteful, but had the misfortune of being loudly championed by the worst people on the internet, which sours public opinion

I don't have a problem with either games stuff tbh but Stellar Blade's character is based off a real human model. I just think the contrast between the two in terms of online discourse seems odd.

Yeah seems like this is it. Its weird to see how this is reflecting on the games themselves tho. Mostly Stellar Blade.

It makes sense for Aphrodite to be designed that way tbh, but I also think people trying to legitimize horniness for one game over another is stupid, using terms like "safe horny" and "sexiness with a purpose." Just admit you have biases toward or against certain games, that's being way more honest with yourself, lol.

If TC was honest, they would know exactly why one games gets the the horny reputation while the other doesn't. It reminds me on the fighting game board where one user started complaining why DoA got the horny/pervy reputation while other fighting games didn't even though they also contained women wearing revealing outfits. The answer is obvious, but I doubt many people would be honest enough to answer truthfully.

It's Aphrodite. It'd be strange if her design wasn't horny.

If the answer is obvious, explain Stellar Blade since that's the direct comparison here.

It's actually not, in context. The characters in Hades are Greek gods/etc., and the character in question is Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who is... Pretty regularly depicted that way.

It's not like they just made some random character and made them naked, anyway.

While I agree it's dumb to be against one and not the other, I'd say the difference in controversy is that the character in Hades is not a main character at all, just one you may only occasionally see, and in a single still 2D image for a few seconds.

This is the most accurate assessment of the situation, but I'll give my tangent piece.

The people defending SB are obfuscating and projecting, attempting to dismiss the criticism towards the game as racism/xenophobia against Asian people...when these were the same people flagrantly tossing around certain buzzwords as slurs but refuse to define when questioned. Those same people populate this site's forum of the game.

Those hyping up SB were appropriating its main protagonist as some "savior of the west/gaming", but the only thing they ever actually focused on was having jiggle physics. Nothing but clips of her rear and chest jiggling at the slightest motion. Not fighting, not interacting with others, just walking around and scaling a ladder. That was their entire argument. Then they started getting upset when people started ask for actual gameplay of the game and it turned out it wasn't anything special. The character in question, Eve, lacked a striking character design to actually appreciate, so it seemed that all it boiled down to was, jiggly butts and boobs. There certainly wasn't a whole lot of people jumping at the chance to draw fanart of her, either.

Hades' Aphrodite is being praised because, while she is showing off even more skin than Eve, she has a good character design with an art style attached to her, a personality attached to her, she's not the de facto main focus of the game and it's yet another depiction of an established well known character whose entire existence is love and lust.

Eve on the other hand, is a nothingburger and fails to make an impression as an original character. Character design seems bland and, when I actually asked in a Tweet what her character/personality is suppose to be, none of her defenders could actually say what it was. Not even those who played the hour-long demo could say definitively who she was as a person, struggling to come up with something, anything to attach a trait to. And even then, you have some people claiming that an hour's not enough to establish a character, despite plenty action heroes being able to do so within a mere fraction of that time.

Really most comments I see about Stellar blade are not from people claiming the character is too attractive and the game is bad, but from others claiming those people exist. It's almost like the act to protect the game is so strong they never even realized no one is attacking the game.

Kotaku and ResetERA pretty much exist these days to make progressive gamers look bad while not actually representing them.

ResetERA almost feels like controlled opposition. That it exists to give the worst leftist SJW perspective imaginable just to fuel the fire for conservatives. I know that's not true and they are just idiots with bad takes.
