What happened to cheesecake miniatures? The only "new" game I've seen have pin-up style miniatures is Eldfall. Infinity stopped doing their pin-ups maybe 5 years ago now, and the only semi-mainstream game I can think of that regularly still has cheesecake is Kingdom Death. Do these kinds of miniatures just not sell anymore?

Much like the picture you posted an oversaturation will ruin the novelty. While the character on the right might be interesting in a game with diverse designs I've already lost all interest in eldfall just seeing the character on the left is from the same game. If everyone is a sexy lady then no one is.

I just got some Jigglystix Goblin nuns, there's more figures than ever, just no systems for them.

>>98106490
I guess it makes sense that people interested in sexy models don't care that much about gaming with them, and people interested in gaming don't care that much about the models being sexy.
>>
>>98106509
it's more that you can't pull up to a game with an army of sexy shortstack nun minis

Only if you are a coward

>>98106490
Do people actually like this shit? What's the point, are you gonna jerk off on your minis or something?

>>98106334
The knight is honestly way better cause a sort of elf thief in leather might plausibly be encountered in an endless succession of fantasy games. The only real concession beyond the normal is the thigh high boots. Whereas the knight is just explicitly and undeniably for titillation. It doesn’t fit with any ordinary fantasy imagery, the cut out is just there to make the model sexy.

>>98106509
Most mini fags don't care about their games at al

>Do people actually like this shit?
Yes.
>What’s the point in not making everything sexless and ugly?
GW has ruined you.
>>
>>98106175
Actual games want to project a cleaner image I guess. I think that most people who like sexier stuff go for bigger models like anime figures instead of anything meant for actually playing with. There are a ton of STLs though if you ever need bikini armor chicks at 28mm scale.

People who want pinup models can get them cheaper and quicker by proonting. STLs crashed the market. Also most mainstream games have sanitized themselves for mass market appeal.
>>
>>98106490
Wow these are gross as shit. I think this answers OP's question too: the modern era exists in this paradoxical superposition of being hypersexual and hyperrepressed at the same time to the point you can't just have tastefully sensual cheesecake or fanservice anymore, in miniatures or media at large.

That middle ground of a tastefully exposed thigh or pantyflash is gone, everything must either be puritanically "serious" and stripped of all sexuality or grotesquely gooned out borderline porn.

>mainstream games sanitize themselves
I think this is probably true, especially coming through the lib era where you would certainly get some call-outs for any mini like this. Kingdom Death does it because it’s just one guy who enjoys pin-ups, and Eldfall appears to be Chinese and so likely doesn’t care about the West as much/is trying to appeal to the gacha coomer market.

>>98106902
But holy shit is this also true. “Hypersexual and hyperrepressed” is such a good way to put it.

>the West
From time to time I remember the west closed most of their Psych wards and as a result you have a bunch of insane people making a lot of noise for shit like a tity on a cartoon, while completely ignoring actual rape gangs or in less horrible things people going to Walmart with less clothing than a Thailand prostitute.
The worst part is that the mentally ill are infecting other non western countries.

>the West
It was Reagan. Reagan and his administration did that. Or if you're in the UK, it was Thatcher.
>>
>>98109737
As an outsider I always wonder why the blame this two of everything when other places of the West did the same stupid shit.
Guess its because US is still the ruling Empire and the UK did everything to nuke their own Empire.
I mean france also closed their psych wards, and claim the problem was solved because the state was no longer getting new crazy fucks, but the psych wards didn't really close it just went into the private sector and the numbers of crazy just kept increasing and to reduce it they simply stop calling people loony.
Similar things happen all over the world. Fucking germans had pedos at care of children and was backed by the government for fuck sake.
The insanity of the insane in the west is absurd.
>>
>>98106902
Very well said anon. It's like a spinning plate, it all gets pushed to the edges. Either sterile androgynous corposlop or borderline grotesque porn-addled coombait.
>>
>>98106902
Correct
I feel like there should be a form of sexy that isn't also like Skyrim modded to the gills
>>
>>98106706
I play drukhari, I'm fine with skimpy wyches and shit, but keep your fetishes out of the fucking game you porn brained retard

>>98109824
The two primary reason why psych institutions were closed were they were not fulfilling their role of caring for the patients and were frequent making low level conditions worse.
The other was that the Soviets used psych hospitals as detention centres for anti-Soviet dissidents.
>>
>>98110469
I forgot the third, which was tied to the first reason.
Advancements in medication had created improved anti-psychotics, anti-depressants and other drugs which promised to make self-management of mental conditions possible.
>>
>>98110476
>self-management of mental conditions possible
What kind of delusional lala land would that ever work on a massive scale?
>>
>>98110488
The one where “Take your meds” is the traditional 4chan response to people being stupid and making bait posts.

Kickstarter is full of coomershit.
