Title: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)

Reason: The user was warned for this post. Don't make disingenuous arguments to shut down criticism of sexualization in games. Don't equate criticism of fanservice to actual abuse.

Criticizing fanservice and then saying you don't want it banned is the same as verbally abusing a person for their clothes and then expect them to continue wearing them. And in case of video games, where the consumer has all the power and the social media is capable of persuading masses, criticizing fanservice literally leads to less interest from devs in localization and development of such titles. Some publishers now avoid releasing games in the west because of the abuse they receive for their games' content and have to resort to publishing their games in English in Asia to avoid controversy. If this weren't the case, you'd just be wasting your time complaining on the internet ad nauseam. I guess you should be happy knowing that you're affecting the industry with your "harmless" posts.
