Everyone knows how to sexualize female characters in video games.
But how to sexualize male characters and do “fan service” for the female audience?

    Just have to add on to all the preferences already described… don’t make them vapid idiots on top of the physical preferences, and you’ll be fine.

    As long as they’re a cohesive, fleshed out character, they could be an evil pile of shit and quite a few ladies will be thinking, “can I fix him?”.

    Same could be said for women characters, but it’s WAY easier to sell to a horny dipshit than a horny lady, since most said dipshits don’t think past hipthrust.

      Just look at the sheer number of women who like Severus Snape of all people.

        I cannot blame them. Snape is a cool character and not just because he was played by Alan Rickman in the movies.

          Snape was one of the few characters that felt ‘real.’ Like, yeah, I could imagine a half-abused kid forever being haunted by what he did in a gang when he realized his unrequited love towards one of the few people who were nice to him as a kid was never going to have a chance… because his gang fucking killed her.

            Also, he didn’t care that the entire point of his gang’s existence was the genocide of his “friend” and those like her, so long as she was excluded.

              Yep. As much as it just makes me sound like a cynical asshole, again, it felt like that was him acting just like a real person would. Plenty of examples to be made from the current united states situation bullshit.
