After a push for realism in the 5th and early sixth gen game companies tried going more abstract, though the mgs artwork is a shit example

Boys grew up and stopped being vulnerable about their masculinity, which they previously had to actively self-reinforce.

Ironic because it was the sixth gen that full of insecure teen desperate to seem mature, everyone on the fifth gen was just having fun.

Neither of these statements is even remotely correct. Far from your Zeldas and Final Fantasies both generations were full of extreme sports and gruff military shooters. The "manly" crowd is what eventually killed the color and whismy in Japanese games and sent us down the path of brown-and-grey for ten years.

Military shooters didn't take off until after 9/11.
Tom Clancy Nerd-em-ups were the silent minority.

>>12238469

Normal guys bought consoles for licensed yearly sports games, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Mortal Kombat, racing, and shooters. None very colorful or "zesty"
>>
>>12238474
And most cars bought every year are not sportscars or supercars.
Car enthusiast discussion disregards commuter chaff.

>>12238491

Fair enough. I would agree that the sixth gen struck a more grim tone because of "enhanced realism" in graphics and the rising popularity of the medium among non-nerdy young people. But there was still room for a bit of everything. Things really got dire in 7th gen.

And the other two aren't twinks either, I thought. Isn't a twink supposed to be skinny, young and girlie? I don't know fag terminology very well.

The 00's were an embarassment.

For the record I was 12 in 2000 so don't (You) me with the "art peaked when (You) were 12!" meme, if anything art started to decline when I was 12.
Even back then people with taste were into older stuff, we were listening to Nirvana and Offspring, not fucking Linkin Park.

You gay bro?

you could remove the ff guy and link from the left for me, i found ff8 a huge disappointment and barely played it. i never liked ocarina and i felt like both series had turned "gay" at that point
>>
>>12241059
Because pink haired gay bunny Link and Amano feminine as fuck looking men are the epitome of manliness
>>
>>12239337
There are two types of people
Those who think art peaked when you were 12
And those who think art peaked when they were 12 years away from being 12

All I see in both pics is just Japans 60 year obsession with David Bowie bleeding through all art for the last several decades. Or maybe it is just lazy artists relying on Bowie when they hit a creative block. But it’s always somehow Bowie.

Twinks are meant to be hairless, slender, young, and boyish.

>>12238326
Anyone who didn't like Raiden (and especially now still doesn't) are faggots insecure of their masculinity.
I fucking love Snake and prefer him but if Raiden was the star of the first game instead I'd like the series just as much.
>>12239337
Shit example, Clocktower 2 sucked and the series peaked with the SNES game.
And god I wish Jennifer had more porn.

>Anyone who didn't like Raiden (and especially now still doesn't) are faggots insecure of their masculinity.
Sounds like projection. Raiden's apparent hyper-feminization is only one of his critiques. He's also a whiny annoying cunt.
