This is almost exclusive to the male gaze. Iâd argue as a straight woman that everything you said about women applies to men too.
The only reason we think it doesnât is because older men have the advantage of being able to compensate for their lack of physical appeal by being better providers â theoretically. If that condition isnât met then most of them become just as unappealing to the opposite sex as women at that age.
I just equip her default skin, and I donât see Cobra equipped that much anyway, so it doesnât bother me.
Still, Iâd say the majority of Overwatch ladies are attractive. Ashe, Brig, D.Va, Kiri, Mei, Mercy, Pharah, Sojourn, Sombra, Sym, Tracer, Widow-May-Care, Illari, and even Echo all have widespread appeal.
The only reason Ana isnât in there is her age, but her young skins are beauts. And of course, there will always be a market for unconventional looks like Moiraâs and Zaryaâs.
Iâd argue its the exact same situation for women. But because men only value women based on how screwable they find them (and how fit they are for child-bearing, biologically speaking anyway), now the whole society thinks that women past a certain age have no sex appeal and thus no value. likeâŚBye.
Itâs definitely a bias, but itâs an understandable one. To be completely rude with, yâknow, my own male fantasy, Brigitte would be my âfirst choice,â followed in no particular order by Mercy, Mei, and almost Kiriko (but the green, gravity-defiant hair is just dumb, and the glowing eyes thing doesnât help).
Pharah, Symmetra, Sombra, Ana, Moira, Zarya, Ashe, sojourn, widowmaker, D.Va, all hard turn-offs. I like Tracerâs generally bubbly demeanor, but things as little as the piercings and the hair ruin it for me. Ponytail, no piercings? We can talk.
Thereâs also the matter of a manâs dignity if weâre going to address men specifically. Women can be proud of themselves for being independent, but nobody shames them for finding a sugar daddy instead. You take away a manâs independence, you take away his dignity.
Are both perfect examples of the weird âHow young can I make this female character without it being called outâ
No.
Ew.
Bigger ew.
Biggest ew.
Fair.
Depends on the outfit
Donât I have to say yes to this one? Thatâs not fair.
Sheâs purple.
You know what? I donât get to say anything about this one since I have a thing for both Ramattra AND Zen.
Idk. Personally, I think nearly all if not all male heroes are hot. In some spicy works of art, even HOG is. The female heroes arenât as attractive imo
As someone who actually likes guys in their 60s and 70s, itâs not.
Men legitimately do stay attractive for a very long time. With women thatâs very rare. With men, provided theyâre at least somewhat fit, theyâre gonna be hot for at least 20-30 more years than a woman the same age.
Sexism and ageism are problems that persist in media to this day so I am with you. That said OPâŚwhy did you choose to post this topic here? This zoo is the last place Iâd pick for a meaningful conversation
Probably. Iâm surprised though, since China is known for some wild things. Didnât they like, remove Claudette from their version of dbd saying they wanted to see âless blacks and bigger boobsâ?
Not saying for sure that it happened since I heard it from a friend, but still lol
Well, as long as itâs not Dva, Iâm fine with any âfirst choiceâ
So you basically like younger women, but not young enough to be creepy? Hey, I can respect that.
I can agree on that. I like ear piercings, but not more than that. I love her hair, personally. I would KILL for a hairstyle like that. Most hairstyles in the game, actually. I hate having curly hair
Tracer is 26. No way Kiriko is. Nuh-uh.
What do you even like about her? Sheâs like the Ryan Reynolds of OW. Everyone likes her but sheâs just not attractive.
No but I main Tracerđ
I gotta stick up for my main
No. Bad.
Yeah but her voice isnât deep so no thanks. Iâd prefer the real thing.
And that affects OW charactersâŚhow? Take your wannabe victim bs elsewhere
Thatâs fine. I personally disagree. I canât think of any reason why a beautiful young woman would be interested in a man in their 60s and 70s for any reason other than a fetish or for some kind of financial reason. There are a handful of older men that may be able to stay in shape and physically look younger, but most donât. Same with women.
Most men at that age really arenât that handsome, they donât have as much âstaminaâ and if you decide you want to start a family with them for whatever reason the likelihood of producing healthy kids with an older man decreases with age, same as with women. Not to mention theyâve probably already had families of their own and have kids that are either your age or older. Its justâŚlol. NoâŚ
