I was just thinking about that too lol. People have done this shit forever but they used to do it with the mentality of “I’m a perverted little piglet who like smut and should be ashamed” and they would behave with the appropriate level of shame. Whereas now they think they’re fucking freedom fighters for this shit and they think being horny and sexualizing every possible female character is somehow subversive? Just orders of magnitude more annoying. I miss the days when these folks kept their perversions appropriately sequestered to their quite little corner of the internet.
I acknowledge the correctness of what you’re saying while also responding with the suggestion that you are perhaps over intellectualizing my completely unserious desire to shame all gamers for their collective preoccupation with jiggle physics
It’s possible for things presented in art to be sensual and sexy without it being cheap and lazy sensationalism. It’s a subjective thing, sure, but in broad strokes I can say that the “improvement” in the OP picture is cheap and lazy sensationalism.
This fit my experience growing up to a T. I was a teenager with unsupervised internet access, so a lot of the stuff I “learned” from sex came from material that treated misogyny, slut-shaming, and violence as a given. Discovering work that portrayed sex as something that could be founded in mutual enjoyment and respect was such a watershed moment for me.

I don’t think gooners and the actual perverts (not people who simply like smut, but constantly sex-brained creeps) ever had shame tbh. It’s not a new thing, it’s just new mediums for them to be creeps on (internet, gaming) rather than real life. They’re no different from the age-old “creepy uncle”/“catcalling neanderthal”/“moral paragon who loses control when they see an exposed ankle” crowd.
