Japanese women are hot so it's okay

nobody remembers this game

Otome games are literally made for japanese women,western women have the same shit over here but instead of VNs/dating sims they are puzzle mobile shit.

Because of cultural differences.
In japan, women are taught to be subservient and prioritize being cute over anything else.
This is the endgame for Yea Forums and /pol/, they're ok with having women do their own thing, when that thing is essentially an accessory to their male dominance in the first place, it's a sort of "pretend freedom".

what?
no one is complaining about games made for women
western games arent made for women, they're made for "everyone"

Because the game is probably actually fun and doesn't shove an agenda down your throat.

A guy can't really make an otome game well

Is that why they are still making games in the series?

Fuck you just summed up most of Yea Forums nowadays man

Japan's workforce is slowly being taken over by women. Men are sticking to 2D and NEET BUX while the women are wanting to work.

Screaming rape every time someone looks at you or looks somewhat attractive isn't freedom. Fucking as much BBC as you want is though, just hope you enjoy single motherhood as it's also freedom for the guy not to stay with ya after you get pregnant.

It's mainly just annoying when they ruin franchises initially intended for a male audience by sanitizing them of attractive female characters and "diversifying" the cast in the name of inclusivity. Fans and historical accuracy and suspension of disbelief be damned.

Because nip women have been working in the gaming industry for years now, for the west is a novelty so everything gets blown out proportions. Also, don't use Arino to shitpost, you double nigger.

Japan always had videogames and anime exclusively for women (shoujo / otome) and exclusively for men (shounen / harem).

Here in the west we must pander to every category at once for products and there are no niches or games directed to only one gender.

>game made BY women FOR women
Uh yes? Nothing wrong with that?

Unlike western women and faggots larping as the oposite gender, jap women make the things they like instead of demanding to be catered to.

Pretty sure that shit's a LONG time ago.
Also, Japan doesn't overreact that much when it comes to those things. Except when some politicians there try to stir things up so they can add to to their political careers, like that faggot Ishihara

What do "we" usually do, anyway? It usually ends up being a massive financial disaster and the whole company goes under within a year. Japan must have done something right if they actually managed to release a game.

>Spolier
He still alive?

Japanese women actually buy games in decent enough numbers,here in the west they never did until the mobile market came around.

OP, you clearly have an image in your mind that the anons here are bitter, hateful people. Perhaps you should reconsider your biases?

It's not even "exclusive". It's "these are the people we are making the game for, without any compromise". Some of the biggest creators in Shonen Jump are made by women, lots of famous female characters as well. Tezuka made very famous shojo manga as well.

Quite a few women by Shonen Jump. That doesn't mean that the creators of Shonen jump ignore the male fans, and start trying to pander to girls, because the result is overwhelmingly garbage that makes nobody happy.

They're just visual novels, aren't they? What's wrong with women writing smut for other women?

So a couple of women took matter into their own hands and made a game instead of complaining?

it's because the method and ultimate goal is different, while westerners doing this kind of thing trying to cover as broad an audience as possible, even encroaching on existing audiences and deriding them when they don't like the game they wouldn't have liked and marketing the team behind the game as opposed to the game itself, the nip girl developers start with an intended niche audience and build off from there. these are women who are likely to already enjoy videogames making a game they and girls like them would like to play. notice how the game has 'no ugly guys' according to the interviewer and marketer, they're making something new for a specific audience as apposed to adding an ugly girl protagonist to a Yakuza game and calling the existing Yakuza fanbase entitled when they don't like the change.

hot

In west, devs would just make some shit that would rather push an agenda than actually function as a game, and then raise a total shitstorm on twitter and continue fanning the flames to the point where the game itself is a serious political issue and few want to bother buying it. Ones that do either love it unconditionally for wokepoints, or see it as the soulless agenda pusher it is.
I remember there was some dumb pizza delivery game where some chick has emotions, and apparently there was some tiny little "shitstorm" brewed around that, but since I can't even recall the name of the game and it looked like generic indie bullshit anyways, it clearly seemed more like a dumb publicity stunt instigated by the devs to get their game relevant, but of course it it didn't work.

Ultimately this desu, Japanese women are more likely to actually buy game, western women don't buy games, and usually the ones who do aren't even real women, and generally don't buy "girl games", hence why this shit is being forced into "big name" titles✔️

Women getting together to make a game about fucking hot guys is completely fine. It's just the same as a bunch guys getting to together to make a game about fucking hot girls.

The reason it's shit when Western game devs brag about all women teams and shit is that they're not doing that because they're making something the average woman would like, they're doing that to virtue signal and circle jerk over how progressive they are, and to use that as a marketing gimmick to try and get some lefties to buy the game. It's likely the dev team is made of expendable shitters put together for said marketing gimmick reasons, and the game will be shit and filled with ham-fisted signs of the dev's political beliefs.

Because they're honest about what they want: cute guys. Western women would obfuscate it behind a veneer of progressivism, while decrying male sexuality.

because japanese women don't get praised just for existing so they have to actually put some effort into their work

Because they're fair. Japanese women have otomeshit, Japanese men have bishoujo shit. Everyone can masturbate, everyone is happy.

What's happening in the west is the reverse, a male-oriented field is being systematically dismantled so a "female" oriented one can be built in its place. Naturally, this breeds resentment. It doesn't feel like a natural progression, it feels completely unfair. How on earth can a "journalist" write a hit piece against a game with a nipple in it one week, and then follow it up with a celebration to the biggest dick models in video games the next week?

Also the game literally invented a genre.

Hey, I just looked on /vr/ and the thread wasn't there. What happened?

/thread

All the dumbasses saying shit like "hurr durr it's because Japanese culture is like blah blah and blah" when the answer is that no one gave a fuck about this type of thing back then.

I think the thread is taking a break since the show's between seasons right now. /vr/ also caps bumping at 14 days now which kinda hampers long slow threads.

Some autist was bumping threads constantly from page 10, so they forced sage on any thread older than a week or two. GCCX threads used to last way longer than that, so there wasn't much point making them anymore because they'd just fall off the board before 50 posts.

The show basically never gets subs now anyway, the SA translator got fucked by Kan so her dreams are fulfilled and she doesn't want to work on the show because it might make Fuji TV mad and ruin her dreams of being a professional whore or something.

They created a game, from scratch, for women by women. This is the opposite of taking an already existing IP for games, replacing much of the staff with women, and forcing the game to be for both women and men.

>endgame

The only people who think a video games board has a political agenda is idiots like you who want to politicize everything.

Here's a post explaining the capping situation.

Agreed. The other difference between Japanese women-produced games and Western ones is that the Japanese ones are made by competent women while the Western ones are simply just made by women. Women aren't given jobs in Japan simply for having a snatch like they are in the Western games industry.

>Here in the west we must pander to every category at once for products and there are no niches or games directed to only one gender.
it's because they take on huge, retarded projects that were demanded by shareholders, and those shareholders must get paid so the only option for them is to cater to everyone -- including people who don't usually play games -- in order to attempt at MAX PROFITS. i mean, japan's AAA industry is kind of like this, too, they they do have, and maybe even favor at times, more niche and specific audiences

Yeah that's because women like that

They just wanted a game for women with sexy guys that fawn and fight over the heroine, there is nothing wrong with that.

Because their goal was to pander to women and they did it in a way that didn't offend men. Western developers don't even pander to women, they offend both males and females while pandering to the mentally ill.

that can often be true even of men, you sound like you are talking specifically about societies of the many (Japan) vs. societies of the self (ie. USA).

Men don't care, you will never see a true man complain about the potryal of men in games cause games arent real, only women care about women in games because its a biological thing, kinda like how women shit talk each other at work, but men are like "Hey Ned, Heya Paul" and just crack on.

Retard.
Making games for women =/= forcing women appeal in male games
Assembling an all women team for something so specific =/= virtue signaling for male gamers
Fucking Neptunia's main staff is all fucking women.

If you look at yaoi content a lot of the times the hands are drawn much larger compared to the rest of the anatomy, which is sort of a sign of masculinity which heightens the excitement when it's two guys large hands touching each other (think when you watch some generic anime romance garbage and the girl goes "wow, his hand is so big...he really his a boy" or some other retarded line like that). This was especially prevalent in older yaoi content, but it is becoming less common with modern artists.

It's fine because there's more soul.
The difference is emphasizing women in games as a positive thing, rather than focusing on a lack of women as a negative.

fingers so long they can tickle your cervix

Otome games tend to have the most one dimensional, self insert women, and there's very few of them to boot. They're self insert for women, the staff of women that made them is huge, because they don't make a lot of female characters. Japanese women are honest about the shit they want in media, they don't take a moral high ground when demanding that media caters to their sexuality exclusively, while demonizing hetero male sexuality like in the west.

nobody promoted this game as made entirely of women.

that's demonstrably false, though. For a gaming example, look at Ray Kassar and Atari, or even "best bros" Carmack and Romero. Shit doesn't always work out.

I'm not disagreeing with you that women have shown problems with working together in past examples, but you are overgeneralizing and ignoring situations so as to bolster the value of your own viewpoint without reasonable evidence to support it.

In this case, a bunch of women actually got together to make a game that appealed to their demographic. Meanwhile in the west, feminists are just whining at male game developers to make games that appeal to them.

Because they didn't feel the need to advertise female power males suck when they did it.

Hmm. Wonder why it IS okay when Japan does it. . .

Because japan isnt filled with mentally ill white people, entitled women ans lgbt freaks with low self esteem demanding representation even though they hate gaming and the whole culture in itself and calling nazi, sexist, rapist, trump supporter, /pol/tard oe whatever their boogeyman is when they are told to fuck off while they try to doxx you and ruin your bussiness and life

Now this the thread where i wanted to ask if anyone remember the game made by an all japanese female dev team that was published on the Dreamcast. Ive been looking for it since forever.

I feel like this is a misrepresentation of the situation. More likely to me, the team is people who want to do a good job, but also want to feel like they have some kind of creative input, because in the west (especially US for example) we champion the concept of the individual who makes a difference. In Japan, there is more "team spirit" where the total sum (and especially your superior) is more valuable than your own desires, and so while you may feel X or Y, you are more trained to accept that being a part of something bigger than yourself (as opposed to being an overt part of something bigger), is an acceptable compromise. Thus the American worker feels more shame at not being a major player in the team, where the Japanese worker is more trained socially to accept that fate and to still believe in the project.

For bioware, I would also sympathize as they are effectively on EA's chopping block. Not saying that Bioware has always had good output, as I personally don't like their stuff (ie. KOTOR or Mass Effect) at all. That said, these people have spent years making games that, even in hard times, they probably felt like they liked and could support. Now take a look at Andromeda and at Anthem. Would you feel good to have been a part of either of those shitshows? Of course not, those games are trash. I would not at all be surprised if being EA's bitch had a big part to do with that too. Given their trajectory and past examples of former EA casualties, it's difficult to me to argue that anybody would be happy about being in Bioware's situation, unless they had a golden parachute.

I understand the habit... Just hard to see something you once really enjoyed taken over by /pol/ shitters and incels, and to just let them have it. One of my favorite moments was actually being in this thread as it was happening.. now we get threads like this or some vaguely video game related racism.

How is schlicking to otome games an accessory to male dominance?

>>it's ok when japan does it
You just answered your own question.

At this point, that is hard to argue, given women have been largely excluded from work at a higher, decision-making position until only the last several decades. It also doesn't disprove that my statement about men defeating themselves happens too. Either way, this is besides the point. Your original comment was about women in Japan doing better than women in America at teamwork. I argued that this is true regardless of gender, that Japanese in general will do better in teamwork than Americans, because it is inherent to their social makeup to work together, where America values far more the "independent spirit" who stands up and does it alone.

I would say that anybody who uses "incel" should be ejected from this site, same as I thought when people said onions, and when people never stopped spamming the same retarded meme edits, and even back in the days when we dealt with endless green_lex_luthor and that fucking baby. It's sad when that sticks out to me as a high point now. This board is at the point where they basically make rage comic-level edits of memes and think it's worth posting. Truly pathetic, and the saddest thing is that through it all, I'm still here and will probably never leave.

Why does Yea Forums get so mad every time someone says the legitimate fact that it is indeed okay when Japan does it?

Are they all just jealous seething westcucks? How about instead of getting mad at Japan, you fix your shitholes instead?

And that the fact that women in the West are unhappier than they've been in decades is a direct result of our culture telling them that acting in accordance with their own nature is wrong, and they should instead just be men with vaginas?

Because they're games pretty much exclusively for women. I don't get mad when they make Barbie games because I'm not the target audience. People in the west want to change video games primarily designed for men to be more accepting of women, which means that neither men or women are happy enough with the result

>bitch from a place with very high rape rate coming to other countries to bitch about nonexistent problems

This is legitimately based though. They have a demographic, they have a somewhat unique goal, and they aren't up in your face about superiority. It wasn't about gay pride, gender equality, or social shit. They just wanted to make a game for women by women and if that happened in the US that would be based too. Of course we'd laugh as it went up in flames but it'd be fine.
The difference with the western dev teams is that they branch out to new demographics by either pandering, alienating fans, or outright shoving as much political bullshit in a game thats possible in the business equivalent of Barbie marketing to senior citizens.
Japan here just wanted to try something different

There's a good counter-argument that goes like this.
A demagogue (i.e. Michael Moore or Glenn Beck) calls his viewers to riot in the streets over an issue. Now he did not say which place to riot, or when, or specifically ask them to. He simply put out a generalized statement that people should riot. Then people go out and riot. While the rioters are held accountable for their actions and say they were influenced by said Demagogue, is he truly not to be held accountable to some degree simply because that would be thought policing?
I'm all for legal loli and agree with the guy, but it's not the worlds soundest argument.

Where else would we go, bro?

Because western gaming is filled with mentally ill white people that delusionally believes that catering to nonwhites with low self esteem, bipolar women and the LGBTQWYZBRAAAP circus will free them of the guilt for the "crimes" of their ancestors aswell the oxytocin rush they get thinking they did something right.

White people are the biggest cancer killing vidya. If they are removed fron this industry you will see niggers, shitskins, feminists and trannies dissapear overnight.

I'm worried because this white mentality is spreading through social media to the whole world.

God fuck amerimutts.

It's hilarious how anarchist/leftist/communist Yea Forums as a whole was until about 2012ish (or maybe even later) when suddenly it got overrun by racist right wing nutjobs that spread like cancer throughout the whole internet.

Yes, I am aware that words like nigger or faggot were being spewed like crazy back in the day, but people were not actually racist bigoted conservative nutjobs back then. Nowadays it's the total polar opposite of the political spectrum. It's such an interesting (and sad) social experiment that happened throughout the years.

It's amazing how pretending to adapt to western culture (until they pretended so hard that they actually did) and being considered "Honorary Aryans" by Roosevelt really worked out for Japan.

Containment boards don't work. The problem with containment boards or segregated groups of nutjobs is that it legitimizes them. It gives them a platform to talk about their fringe nutjob ideas and spread them (through funny memes and whatnot) and attract even more nutjobs to their ranks.
While 30 years ago you might have been crazy bob, the fat greasy crazy gun-toting redneck dude living with his parents in a remote town and ostracized by everybody else cause you're literally crazy and antisocial, nowadays you're just yet another dude posting on facebook/twitter/reddit and even Yea Forums, among a bunch of other crazy retarded dudes like yourself and that legitimizes you.

The moment your women think kids are a burden and a waste of time, that is a massive hint that your society is dying. Why do westerners obsessed with freedom anyway? Total freedom is bullshit. It doesn't work. You give people and the masses too much choices, most of the times they'll choose terribly, especially when their leaders/priest are just feeding the masses off of nonsensical ideals and irrational thinking. But I don't care anyway, less whitoids = less problems. Shame that your race used to be strong and looked up to. But now they're just pawns of corporates and pharmaceuticals.

>instead of changing every other game to force in bitch shit and faggotry and tranny garbage

You don't have to force anything when it's already included in most games already. But see, that's the difference between gamers in the West and gamers in Japan.

If a Japanese game developer wants to fill his game with females and homos, the gamers in Japan aren't going to act like the fucking world is about to end.

The reason Yea Forums is right wing now is because of lack of censorship. If you want a leftist hugbox you have tumblr, reddit, facebook, twitter, and the entire rest of the internet. Right wingers flock to anonymous image boards because any hint of nationalist or fascist thought gets banned everywhere else.

gee, it's almost like moot should have brought snacks back

True, I'm blackpilled when it comes to America and the anglosphere as a whole. It's why I'm taking the Ted Kazinsky pill and trying to disconnect from society while trying to extract as much benefit as I can.

I'm mad because lately westerners keep trying to make their own "otomes" to make up for the lack of localized ones but their idea of an otome is to have a protag with pronouns you can change + love interests of every made up gender possible, which is the complete opposite of what an actual otome is (girl protag going after guys) and is more akin to a general dating sim. But since it's a big misconception that otome games are just "games aimed at girls" they think it still counts as one. Also kinda similar to how everyone thinks anything otome is fujo as well when they're both very different (though otome fans consider themselves a fujo who likes yaoi and stuff and vice versa though I'm not one).

Even Otome games can be good compared to what an all female team in the west can make. I don't think many western female devs even like making games.

They don't virtue signal on twitter.

The game was made by women who wants to date cute boys. Except the women themselves aren't raised to be bitchy cunts and poured their love into making this game.You have silly corny scenes of cute things happening, wishful thinking becoming reality, men pressing their heads on the floor for you. The kind of shit women really wants and will entice them to keep playing the game

The SJWs making these sorts of games don't even see why they should go this way, and instead go for DEPRESSION, AWFUL FUCKING SCENES and DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?
