re: Thread of Japanese people mocking how ugly Western game devs have made female characters

Nah you're right. They don't look like Mortal Kombat chicks at all.

I read where people were saying they put more clothes on the women, and less on the men. . .because men fight with their clothes off, women don't. So it was about realism.

I can see that argument, but there's a line between the fantasy of gaming and realism based on the genre of the game and the audience you are hoping to target with it.

For example, a medieval RPG targeted towards both males and females? Give a range of visual clothing options for both sexes and make it not impact armor (if the game has an armor component).

Targeting mainly males? Make the women hot with skimpy clothing.

Targeting mainly females? Make the men hot with skimpy clothing.

This isn't rocket science.
