>>52363632Consider this: The Switch sucks at Cel Shading and SV sucks graphically in general because they tried to do too much.
They sacrificed everything in order to have 15 pokemon on screen at once.
That's for the outlines, but for the design direction? Yes, spot on.
It's all propaganda and political statements. Made ugly on purpose.
It's not by chance that of all the female trainers, only Grusha, a male, looks moe.
You can dismiss it when it happens once or twice, but when it's the entire game industry? Consistently?
Even the waifu games do this nowadays, and it's not because people like it. Remember that alphabet soup people are less than 5% of the population in the most liberal city centers of the world (LA, San Fran, Austin, etc.) , the only one exception being Brighton UK, because gays literally migrated there cause of a political movement, and it's still just 14%.
Nobody is pandering to this audience for sales.
It's recruitment.
