View Full Version : Why is every Anime-ish styled MMORPG gender skewed

This is true.

Every MMORPG that has any hint of anime-ish style to it has a huge gender population skew leaning towards females.

The reason for this is due to a certain disease.

Most of the time it's contracted in locations where it's typically dark and has very small/vew few/no windows.

You are more likely to contract this illness if you, over a long period of time, stay in front of an electronic screen with buttons that reads: "qwerty".

some symptoms are: extreme attachment to a pillow, sensitivity to light, low tolerance to fresh air, and heavy sexual desire for cartoons with cat eyed females.

Male customization options tend to be sparse and what few there are tend to be shit. This leads to more people playing female characters, which in turn causes the developers to add more and more customization options for females, causing more people to play females, etc.

A never-ending cycle of shit.

PSO2 has very good male character customization.

The one thing i like about anime mmos is that they understand the asian male beauty standard.

Us asian males tend to prefer slender more elegant styles. (Some call it effeminate or androgynous)

Most American mmos tend to make males very ugly, overly muscular, and too burly/macho for asian tastes.

This is the sole thing that anime MMORPGs get right. However it's true most don't spend effort on male character creation. PSO2 is an exception due to the system it's built on.

I was referring to the clothing and accessory options available for male characters. Creation is creation, how you dress them up is customization. PSO2 is very weak in this regard. Or was. It's been a while since I bothered to log on.

Regardless, we're talking about a problem with an entire genre, not individual games. NEETs flooding servers with their perfect waifu is actually a small piece of the puzzle.

Because most players are male and like looking at cute girls.

I don't understand. Is it because you think big, muscular Asian guys look weird? Do you prefer a Bruce Lee physique?

i personally try to strike a balance in real life. Looking too effeminate americans call you gay, so basically try to stay in the metro/hipster zone where you'll be accepted both in asia and america.

Keep in mind that all the stuff posted above are the biggest asian pop stars in asia. Literally girls would fuck any one of those guys instantly.
People believe that bieber invented the bieber hair. Unfortunately that is not true. Bieber borrowed a lot of tactics and style from korean pop stars. Literally he brought kpop fanaticism to america and called it "belber fever". It's the same concept.

I think the reason is, men are expected to look tough, and women are expected to look pretty. But since you mainly play as warriors, everyone gets stuff to make them look tough. Along with that, accessories are added to make characters pretty. But since men aren't allowed to wear the prettiest of it, more stuff is given to women. From there, people realize women have more options, so more female characters are made.

When I first came across a game with with purely cosmetic genders, my thought was "Why pick a man when a women can do the same thing and look better doing it?"

yes, in asia that's actually a thing.

Girls dig the prepubescent boy style, much like how some dudes here want to fuck their loli characters so bad they spend most of their time on PSO2 lobby jerking.


And if you're interested to do more research this is a comprehensive article about beauty standards for males around the world, the moment you come across asians you'll see make up come to play.

very rare in America.

America has this more scruffed up "masculine" male beauty standard.

If this was 10 or 15 years back then i can see more of that long hair eye shadow style coming into play due to rock culture being more popular back then.

But today's american culture is a lot more sexualized, going back to the roots of masculinity and feminine beauty. If you come to Southern california, you'd have a better idea of what I mean.

I'd dare say socal is the place that calls the shots on western beauty standards here in America.

Remember make up isnt just lipstick or eyeliner and stuff that ADD an appereance.
Actors and TV personality use face foundations and other makeup tricks to hide or conceal marks on the face giving them a more clean and shiny look

I think a lot of girls are attracted to guys with effeminate faces with lean and muscular bodies.

It's probably the same with how guys are attracted to tomboyish girls that still retain their girly traits. e.g. Chie Satonaka, Ritsu Tainaka etc.

The closest I can think of regarding this is gap moe. The moe lies in the gap between their looks and body language/movement.

I think he's not even trying seriously. All I see is a guy who looks like he's taking a dump.

He should:
Get a wig. A cute one.
Get better makeup. One done by a professional makeup artist.
Wear feminine clothes.
Soften his expression. It should be done naturally in a relaxed manner. Eyes need to be gentler.
Body language needs to emulate femininity. He's too stiff with his pose.

There is a reason why in the fashion industry, all male models look like female models without boobs and long hair.
