![]() ![]() The androids' designs are what they are because they are pleasant to look like. Beauty for humans' sake, for they do not understand it. But the androids do not know beauty, they cannot understand, explicitly, the abstraction that it is. It is fitting, then, that the sexualized beauty that is 2B and A2 and YorHa in general, and all of the other androids, bear that same standard of beauty as we have today, as cultural norms stopped changing after the White Chlorination stuff.Īndroids were designed to serve, and serve humans they do. The Venus of any particular time is a window into what beauty was to those cultures. So his answer to the question here is that he likes girls, but it is borne out in-game as "humanity likes girls," and that is undeniable. Our history is full of expression of beauty in female form, and androids throughout the game were made for that in particular. It's not just that Taro Yoko likes girls, it's that culture glorifies beauty. But we also just had a thread on this ( Why women criticise sexualised character designs)that delves a little deeper into why devs feel the need to design women as they do.īecause this is a deconstruction of that trope. So why did Taro design her this way? Yeah, he likes girls. Shouldn't she be in, like, a combat uniform? Armor, maybe? The mobility aspect I understand, but that doesn't mean her skirt should be so revealing as to allow the player (and give them an achievement for it) to look up her skirt, or simply pan the camera around to the front to see her underwear. The lower half is just.where do I start? The slit in the side is pretty tasteless, considering the history of sexualized women in games and women in games in general, and it's also pretty non-functional for a combat android who prides herself in her physical prowess and fighting ability. The top half of her design is great, even though I don't really understand the blindfold or how that works. I get it, but I don't agree with it, nor is the game as a whole less deserving of criticism. Taro put android ass in the game because he likes it. Even though I loved Nier: Automata and I find 2B's overall aesthetic to be ace, her design is stupid and the panty shots are unnecessary. ![]()
