When you have a beautiful male character like Alucard or Link in Western made media, steps still have to be made to diminish them by forcing them into these more submissive and weaker roles.

Say what you want about the Undertale/Deltarune fanbase, but the amount of pretty boy art of pretty much every male character in both games except Asgore (who gets hit with the bara paddle instead) proves that there's a sizable amount of western fans who want pretty boys in western media.

>>
>>739150002
From what I remember a vast majority of western games have been either shoooty-shooty-bangbang FPSs, survival horror, and the occasional gritty/"realistic" 3rd person RPG and none of those genras really have a place for a traditional "pretty boy". At best we get Twunks, Otters, and Bears.

The closest to a pretty boy I can think of is Adler and the one german guy from the recent COD games.
If you count Blizzard there's Wuyang and Lifeweaver from Overwatch but those feel more like pandering to the Korean market than a traditional western prettyboy.

Deltarune is about shaming and diminishing femininty. That applies to both the gay and lesbian art. The West will not include feminine characters unless they can be attacked and degraded in that manner.

The vast majority of westoid normalfags are anything but grownup. Literally everything they like is just for social posturing and to save face (past shit like being a degenerate in public and more like actively shutting down benign things they like and should like as a normal adult because it will make random strangers and half-assed "friends" perceive them as lesser).

It's essentially just catty highschool behavior performed by someone that's physically an adult but an adolescent mentally.

>>739150827
Pretty much. It's also why American and British art (A lot of Europeans like the French and Spaniards actively enjoy anime and at worst are indifferent at worst to cartoons and anime without putting real meaning to someone liking it or not) is so sterile, boring, culturally irrelevant and dead: it's an imitation of what people think adults should be enjoying, not what adults actually enjoy.

>Unironically having a vitiligo selector makes more from a business perspective
And that is why western game character creators are shit.
They don't care about expression, only about the bottom line.
And it's why their industry is dying and why we celebrate every time a western studio gets shut down.
Have some more anime to piss you off.

>Feminists think femininity is bad
>Misogynists think femininity is bad
>Trannies think femininity just makes you a girl
