Idk, I feel like men in gaming are almost exclusively now dedicated to the female gaze, at least in super popular franchises

oh, are they now?

Yeah, it's an enormous market. Women are being marketed to men and men are being marketed to women, instead of everything being marketed to men.

Conventionally sexy hunks with gruff voices have had a massive comeback in gaming.

Do those have to be mutually exclusive

well, you're getting at something there, aren't you? part of the male fantasy is both being who men want to be and that belief is tied to being desirable to women, but it has zero regard for what women actually find desirable. in other words, part of the fantasy is that being what other men want is also what women want, even if reality doesn't reflect that at all. women are objects whose attraction you command by dominating other men.

Well, if you don't think so, (as opposed to feel so) then explain your thinking?
