Near otomata butthole5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() I'll leave it to everyone else to argue about whether that's feminist, misogynist, or somewhere in between. There's a boundary crossing sex appeal there: it's a hot lady wearing sexually suggestive clothing, who also happens to carry a giant sword, kicks all of kinds of ass, and has a more interesting personality than 2B. While the fans have gone gaga over 2B's basic look - which is essentially a functional, if perhaps overly short, dress - they'll go nuts when switching over to A2 in a later playthrough, who is basically just strolling around in lingerie. It's interesting to note in this whole debacle that while the added puckered hole was in fact photoshopped, the base image itself is not: you can go angle the camera to get a peek at what 2B's hiding under there (as an android with no reproductive or gastrointestinal function, obviously it's less than you'd expect). We won't link to those ones - you know how to work Google. This faux controversy over a faked screenshot caused the game's producer Yoko Taro to cheekily ask for all nude photos of 2B to be sent to him “for analysis.” And yes, before you have to ask, even though the game's been out less than a week, there's already a whole lot of Rule 34 going on with 2B. Going back further, remember when Lolipop Chainsaw even had an achievement for trying to peek up Juliet's cheerleader skirt? After all, just a few months back Watch Dogs 2 was in the news for having modeled a realistically hairy pubic region of a certain female NPC that could be fully viewed if you knocked her over. The screenshot ended up being fake, but there was good reason to believe it could have been real. Said super NSFW image showcased a butthole clearly visible through a thong when angling the camera to go up-skirt. ![]() ![]() Some controversy actually erupted about the level of detail in this comely android's body parts when a photo started making the rounds on Twitter. Before this latest Nier entry was even officially released, there were already people compiling videos showing off main character 2B's assets in various cut-scenes and battle sequences. It seemed like the fact that the game has 26 different endings might be of more concern, or maybe that the opening level switches breathlessly between nine different genres, but nope, it's the butts and nothing but the butts getting all the hype. That's an area of the game we studiously left out in our official Nier: Automata review, but the time has come to give it a glance over now, as it's an issue that's getting bigger and dominating discussion of this gorgeously cross-genre title. For Nier: Automata however, the talk of the town has been, ahem, firmly on android 2B's backside. When considering the reasons to buy a particular game over any other game, usually elements like gameplay mechanics, overall genre, art style, and the development team's history come to mind. ![]()
