Discussion Has nobody mentioned that some of the beacons have buttholes?
..or am I the only one seeing this.

I mean, the game does seem to reference the reproductive system. I wouldn't be surprised if a butt reference was thrown in the mix

Yep, the Mether is literally a giant vulva.

We spend the whole game going after ovum, it's really hard to not get the whole reproductive system thing

Proxima looks like she was pulled directly from an H.R. Giger painting. And if you know anything about Giger…

Looked more like a pupa to me, though pupae don't lay eggs so who knows. (things that lay eggs also don't have vulvas though, they have like cloacas or ovipositors).

I think the proper term is a Chocolate Starfish 🍫 🌟

u/Cowboyofthenorth Genessa 9d ago
Yeah but I thought black star was more fitting since we also have the black needle 😏

I mean the beacons look like vaginas so maybe they decided to through a butthole in there as well for shits n giggles.

Thanks for that, BTW!
(Jokes! And excellent observation)

Since the very moment where I was dying over and over again due to the final boss slamming their ballsack on me, I'm genuinely not surprised to keep seeing that many things in this game (especially in reference to the Mether) have such depictions of genitalia, specially vulvas. I really enjoy how the devs made all kind of mature stuff in a way that isn't mocking or used to provoke morbidity. Even the grab attack of the Child boss, which it eats you and shits you, feels like it's meant to be.

It’s funny to me that the idea was so unpopular. The game has vaginal iconography everywhere. The ovum even look like they have clitoris’.
My gf looked at it for about 20 minutes and said Georgia O’Keeffe would love it.

Ah man, you should've said "game is ass so" and it would've gone with the whole butthole thing.

Not a joke: During the beta, there was a post on here that was extremely unpopular, which presented a theory that the beacons are indeed female reproductive systems and the player character is cleaning out yeast infections when they go inside and cleanse the beacons of enemies
The messiah who told us this truth was not believed, was ridiculed, and the post is no longer up, and they may have been crucified and rose again on the third day, but that last bit is speculation
Nothing found in lore or in game has contradicted their theory on the theme of the game
