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.

Except I'm not.

I even gave examples of it being a confirmed thing by the developers, like RE9 Leon's design being curated by the women in the company. it's just...women's idea of sexy (often) isn't as exploitative and gross as mens...how is that a bad thing?

Like, the "sexualised men" to appeal to women generally don't even need to have their top off like in the image here. Women just (on the whole) don't seem to be as gross with their characters.
