All of them. Thongs!
they want their butts to look good I guess. Is that a problem?
Problem? You don't have to wait until there's a problem to suddenly decide to be curious! Sometimes I just want to know things.
Thongs are comfy and it's easy to do ninja moves in them.
Personal experience.
I haven't noticed. Perhaps I don't spend enough time staring at the butts of video game characters. I'll try to do better.
Examples (written, not displayed, please!) would be nice, though.
If someone posts a picture of Tidus in a thong, I am gouging my eyes out. Right after I gouge out the face of whoever posted it
I didn't realize that Kuja and the cast of Muscle March were enough to classify an epidemic of man thong.
BTW, while it's obvious that women are over-sexualized in games, guys aren't that bad looking either. I doubt many women would kick Ezio or Nathan Drake out of bed. From a design perspective it makes sense though. I don't think devs are making hot, male prots as a dish for ladies, but rather because the guys (primary demographic) playing the games want to play an attractive character. That's who they want to embody.
How many guys want to play a game with Roman Belic as the protagonist rather than the comic relief? The side effect is that hot males, especially those becoming less clothed, probably appeal to the gay people within the demographic.
It's a win-win to make hot guys in the game and it's a win-win-win to make hot guys and girls.
They probably aren't losing lots of dollars by agitated women who refuse to buy the game because the chicks are wearing skimpy clothing. Besides, you can't forget that odd demographic of women like my wife who like playing games like Bayonetta (and actually has requested DoA Beach Volleyball) because they like the hot sexy women.
It's not unfair to say that it's becoming almost the norm for a woman to be bisexual at least playfully.
So how are bikinis hurting the industry again? By that tiny group of militant feminists who refuse to buy the games? Yeah... I'm sure they would all be hardcore gamers if everyone were more realistic.
The only thing damaging for the industry about half-naked people is to their credibility. It's too easy to point at BMXXX and say "that's the problem with games."
Of course, I could start a whole other discussion on that since you don't see people pointing at Zombie Strippers and saying, "This is why all movies are sick, mindless filth." The same way people don't immediately dismiss all of literature simply because "Penthouse Forum" exists. Sadly, with games it seems that one bad apple spoils the bunch.
But to the people running the numbers this sh*t doesn't matter. Activision doesn't care if games are "art" so long as they are raking in billions.
sadly this was the only picture of Tidus in a thong I could findQuote:

First video game character I can recall that wore a thong.

Maybe it's not that they all wear thongs, but that thongs leave an impression on you.
Doesn't Solid Snake wear one, though? And his dad, too.
Japan, etc.Quote:
