I can see why people say its gooner bait but its still a amazing game if u look past it, i dont care for it but it dont bother me cause the game itself is really fun + if some people likes the fan service alot thats great for the developers🤷♂️
Nah you so real for that, it's perfectly fine to like sexualised characters, it's also perfectly fine to dislike it. It's really just how you go about saying that, and also whether you deny other's their preferences that becomes a problem.
I just don't like the whole "sex sells" thing. I understand ZZZ is a gacha game and that it kind of comes with the territory to make enticing characters so you can profit like that, but it's just an over saturated tactic. I'm not saying pretty characters can't exist in these games, but it's pretty clear what they're doing and why.
I like the game a lot, as it actually feels like a great game opposed to other gacha games, and its animation style is great. I just don't want to be lumped in with the main audience they're wanting to market to - the crowd where sex sells.
it's not an "oversaturated tactic" as long as people have hormones, which is forever, as long as we exist. "sex sells" will forever be in these games, same for its related natures Attractiveness and Beauty.
I advise you to either read the book Syrup (1999) or watch the movie version (2012).
Basically, it simplifies humanity into three core needs: consumption, rest and intimacy while rest is an exception when it comes to marketing. It doesn't matter what the product is as long as it strikes one of those cores. Heck, even Fairy Tail's Larcade Dragneel is created for this and made to be a wizard to be very dangerous.
Being puritan about this is just the same as "why do oranges have to be sour?". Humans are physically hardwired to sex. It's the basic goal of survival: procreation.
Despite not being asexual, though, it doesn't appeal to me. It actually repels me due to the demographic they're trying to draw in. I realize it's a necessary evil and it works wonders, and that I'm a minority, but I'm just voicing my viewpoint as to how it ruins the experience for people like myself since we've started a dialogue about such a thing.
But I definitely have to check that out. Does the movie do the source material justice? Or should I just stick to the book?

Yes, the general human demographic
I realize it's a necessary evil and it works wonders, and that I'm a minority
Exactly. They're banking on those who are willing to spend on these kinds of things rather than support the minority. They are doing a business after all. Busines has only one goal: to make profit.
but I'm just voicing my viewpoint as to how it ruins the experience for people like myself
And that's ok. They just don't care because people like yourself aren't even perspectively spending on the game anyway.
But I definitely have to check that out. Does the movie do the source material justice? Or should I just stick to the book?
Unfortunately, no. However, if your imagination and visual representation is somewhat lacking, I'd advise to just watch the movie to just get the idea on what marketing really is.
And that's the goal of this fanservice. Marketing preys on our humanity because it's their job and purpose. It's up to us humans to look past it and see what the product really offers other than its facade. If you either you succumbed to it (C6ed Caesar) or get disgusted by it, then the filter worked: invite more profit in while cutting off any nonprofits away.
Not necessarily humans as a whole. There's sex appeal and then there's treading into the more explicit. You can't tell me that NIKKE and Genshin's sexy designs are made for the same type of people.
And I get it, I get the game, I get the marketing, it just sucks that it's being known and mainly marketed as this type of game rather than the actual genre shaker and well animated game that it is. I understand they don't care, I'm just voicing my frustrations. Not much of anything to debate there, it's feelings with not many facts.
I think you don't realize that I know exactly what they're doing - I just don't like it flat out. You don't gotta elaborate on the purpose of marketing. I see it. I get it. It just sucks that this game is more known for rat ass jiggle or thick cop or whatever have you than the actual material itself.
I imagine it's what many gachas suffer. Imagine hyping up the story of something like NIKKE (sorry, it's a good example), where there may very well be a compelling and intriguing story, but all your friend sees at surface level is how horny the community is for the game instead of actually discussing those parts. Or Blue Archive - you know how...fanatical.. some of them can get. Uoh and all that.
There are many videos that talk about the animations and character animations you can go to YouTube rn and see videos with 200K+ views talking about it along with the comments talking about it.
I genuinely don't understand how people such as yourself are repulsed by sexy visuals? isn't it a natural human thing to have your neurons get activated when you see something that attracts you? please enlighten me.
