Why were games from the 00s, particularly Japanese ones, filled with girls that had visible panties?
It was a complete conscious effort from the developers not only due to the simple fact they had to model them, but also made sure to give the players the option to see them.
That already is creepy by itself, but it’s only made worse when you consider how young some of these characters are..
For me. I exclusively play videogames were girls have visible panties. Didn't you read the Japanese videogame' guideline? It's all there, you should be ashamed op

Yakuza 8 removed upskirts and so did FFVII remake. wtf nippons

Blame the western diversity departments

The Japanese all have a bizarre obsession with panties. Back then the West was just obsessed with G-strings instead.
Because panties are natural to be seen unlike the axe wound trannies have.
Tyler Murphy
Back in the 80s and 90s anime aimed at children like Doraemon, Esper Mami and Pastel Yumi allowed not only panty shots but also nudity, some videogames like that Breath of Fire and Megaman Legends 2 had nudity too
Japanese boomers have an unhealthy problem with panties, its literally plagued in every media form. They always find a way to make a pantsu joke or create a female accidentaly showing her underwear. Anime, books, series and movies, games...
>feminism I thought that was worst korea, with the legal status of porn and all that. it’s why their female idols are so sexual, and why the hentai artists that come from there are so degenerate.
Because they are fictional (+ cartoon) characters? You sjw fucks are better off protecting something real.
William Jones
If anything, feminism generates pornography, not restricts it.
Asher Anderson
This, but >unhealthy problem with panties How the fuck is it unhealthy? Panties are in plain, constant contact with women genitals. It's completely natural and reasonable to get turned on by girls' underwear. It's something intimate for them which makes it hot and panties are impregnated with pussy smell, it explains itself. Also it has something to do with pheromones.
When I moved to my new place, I decided to channel my inner Howard Hughes and screen some movies to deal with my slow descent to insanity. I finally got around to watching some old miyazaki anime like kiki’s delivery service, and cringed just a bit at the sheer amount of upskirt shots

why do americans ruin and destroy everything?

You have to model something there and they are almost always bland and white like your image. Combined with the fact the camera always has to be manipulated to see them further proves the point the developers never intended them to be seen.
William Rodriguez
Based In Totoro you can actually see one of the loli's nipples and naked butt during the bath scene
Because back then women barely played videogames, now the only play the popular games and every other game is pretending that they don't have a 90% male audience.
Colton Allen
Except the based Hitman devs who have an eye for detail.
Luis Bailey
That's just a piece of cloth you degeberate

The black void is in some ways lewder. With panties someone may or may not project sexuality onto it. Voids are unambiguous in signaling naughtiness.
Joshua Reed
This.
Also, every culture has its own fixation on what they find beautiful or sexually appealing. Japs happen to really like panty shots, and including them in their video games back then was just fan service for a mostly male player base. Once Nintendo made its push to market towards casuals and found success, many companies began to make games much more accessible to your average Joe, who found panty shots questionable and either reduced or eliminated, which brings us to the current state of the video games.
>That already is creepy by itself, but it's only made worse when you consider how young some of these characters are..
If you're analyzing this with a purely Western mindset, then yeah, it is kinda creepy. But age of consent is much lower in Japan, and the shit you're bitching about is normal to them. Don't want to see panty shots? Then don't look for them. Unless the game or yourself are actively making an effort for you to see them, you can play most games by keeping the camera at a reasonable height. The position of the camera on that screenshot doesn't appear to accomplish much for the game itself.
>But age of consent is much lower in Japan The age of consent is lower in many parts of Europe (Germany, Portugal it's 14), than most of Japan. (At least 16 in every prefecture, 16-18 generally)
Landon Ramirez
This FF6 added a second half of the game because they were ahead of schedule. Teams were smaller and creatives put their marks in games, this is exceptionally rare nowadays and the only modern comparison I can think is alt colors in fighting games referencing characters from other media
I literally never noticed and I've played KH2 multiple times. Why did you try to watch Kairi's panties, user? There's an amazing battle waiting for you with your gigabro Riku

>stop saying the truth. No. The female species has always done their best to look young and fertile. That's why its in their best interest to be genetically modified to remain young and fertile as long as they lived.
>Why is the hag species so jealous of the young, the healthy and the fertile? Because they're young, healthy, fertile and more desirable in quite literally every way.
It’s the truth no matter how much you try to censor it. Why do you think most men in their 30s and older go for the youngest looking girls out there? Why do you think teens is among the most popular porn genres? The wall ain’t no meme bro, their entire value exists in their youth.
Imagine a world before the standards and norms of video games existed. There was no "acceptable" and "unacceptable" established yet because it was totally virgin waters that people hadn't even realized were possible. So you make games with 3D models and you give the girls skirts, because girls in Japan wear skirts. Naturally, you need to create their whole model, then you put them into the game and realize it is possible to see their underwear with camera manipulation. Either you go through the trouble of creating a system which prevents that from happening, or you give the viewer that as a possibility. Seeing as most games were made for teenage boys and many games have predominantly teenage characters, and the majority of boys would rather have a game with panty shots, you keep them in. Over time, the cultural climate changed because of the globalization of the internet. Cultural norms in other countries are now judged against the western standard and deviations, no matter how harmless they are in practicality, are seen as unacceptable culturally. Video games became a business with strict regulations and unspoken norms and standards that are made for an unrealistically large market. >the simple fact they had to model them In order to create a black void, you first need to model them anyway. There is no getting around it, it's additional work to create a well-distributed black gradient on the area. >but also made sure to give the players the option to see them. False, you're turning laziness into intent with zero evidence. The camera usage necessary for viewing panties in most games is standard throughout the whole game. They could have done what devs today usually do, which is code a whole censoring system into the camera which uses gradual model fading, but that simply was not a thing back then, no one had thought to do it and there was no motivation to do it because of the market.
Easton Brown
Immersion. Despite what porn tries to tell you, the majority of girls does wear panties when they go outside.
Samuel Carter
What a bizarre contradiction. Society is more degenerate than ever but its entertainment media is more prudish than it has been in 50+ years.
It really was simply a different area with a different cultural view on the matter than today
Joseph Lewis
This makes me glad to be a virgin
Lucas White
why are women like this?
Aaron Fisher
Copers will cope. Only desperate fags and people who know they wont have a second chance in life (aka ugly fucks) go for woman above 30. Every man I know above 35 is dating girls between 18-25 and the only reason they dont go lower is because morals and other shit. Also only reason why milfs are somewhat popular is because porn and shitty zoomer stereotypes of "le dominant mommy".
