    Jiggle physics are not sexist, but their most common usage in video games is. People demand games with lots of realism, so I am told, and people bounce, jiggle, and sway in real life, so yeah, people develop games with engines to capture that. This is fine. What is not fine is the immediate leap from "We can make things jiggle" to "BOOBS". Yes, breasts are definitely affected by motion, and one can concede perhaps bosoms are easily observed out of a great deal of things affected by inertia, but making video game characters with large breasts and impractical outfits which show off said breasts being affected by your great physics engine is sexist.

    Oh man WoW's jiggle tits weren't even jiggly, they were just... bouncing up and down and up and down and up and down like they were about to detach wherever your female dorf or undead went even though they were supposed to be wearing armor or whatever. It bugged me because it looked ridiculous. I guess they don't have the chain-link sports bra in Azeroth.

    I don't notice it in other games, but then again 90% of what I play are map painting simulators so

    If it's done right, you probably won't notice it.

    The Resident Evil REmake for GameCube, for example, had jiggle physics, but it had to be pointed out to me, and all my response was was "WOW THIS GAME'S GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING!"

    Boobs jiggle in real life, boobs should jiggle within reason in games, if they're done right. But games like Azura's Wrath take the jiggling to a laughable level. The girls in that game look like they have tops full of jello.

    But then, the exaggerated boobage is the least of that game's problems.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I love Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Especially the jumping mini-game. Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting series too, after Smash Bros (obviously, I mean Jigglypuff).

    It's not the jiggle physics that are sexist, it's that every lady has massive titties. Boobs jiggle, that's just how they're made, but they are not that big on a girl that small except in very rare and back-breaking cases.

    I don't think that actually happens in the anime's... story, if you can call it that. It's some sort of exaggeration or something that only lasts for a single short scene.

    Hah, Eiken. The epitome of shallow anime. :P There was this other show I expected to be just as shallow, but I was pleasantly surprised when it was actually kind of sweet. I think it's called Tonagura?

    Oh hey, despite that being totally off-topic it can be fit in pretty well! See, in Tonagura, despite there being a really cute love story, it was also using the ridiculous bust of one of the main characters to promote itself. The promotional art for the show (at least, from what I remember) very often accentuated that character's chest, despite her not really being the focus of the show when you actually watch it (let alone her boobies). That's kind of a similar problem to what we have here, right? Games can be appreciated for lots of things, but oftentimes the sex appeal of a character is used to promote the game itself, and it's very rare (at least from what I've seen) for that fanservice character to be a dude. That's why it's sexist.

    But yeah I should probably shush. I'm being silly. :X
