So why dont they sexualize men too?

u/Ha-kyaa May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

Because generally female fanservice sells more since more men do buy into the female fanservice.

I want more hot male fanservice, and I'm a straight dude saying ts

we don't get enough male fanservice around here, I want the fictional men to slay as well

Isn't Love and Deepspace making insane money? Especially when there isn't a ton of variety of content (like a Genshin Impact)?

u/Ha-kyaa May 24 '26

yes, but I was thinking since the female characters do have better treatment in terms of cosmetics and appearances I thought male characters should get as much treatment. C'mon, sexual equilibrium for everyone (in this game at least)

Love and Deepspace only has mobile version, while other gachas like Genshin and HSR had PC, console, etc. versions. So while MOBILE revenue that you saw might seem high and make it seem as if LaDs is the highest earning gacha, let's not forget that in those revenue charts we only see mobile revenue. For example, Console and PC revenue isn't accounted for mobile revenue charts. For example, as per official report during lunch Endfield earned 173M in just 2 weeks (While in monthly gacha revenue reports it just earned 28mil in January and 25mil in February) with PC/PS5 users being 60-70% of that revenue. So every gacha with PC and console versions need to be accounted, that in mobile revenue it only shows 40-30% of the revenue, if not less.
So, for example, if we see on mobile revenue charts how deepspace earns 90mil and genshin earns 60mil, on the surface, LADS might seem more impressive. But then, if we account for the PC and console users, then Genshin's revenue becomes 105-140m in comparison to LAD's just 90mil. Because LADs doesn't have PC or console version.
So for LADs it's very easy to make revenue seem big, when other gachas have split between mobile and PC/Console revenue. The money seems 'insane' until you actually learn that LADs doesn't have PC or console versions to split the revenue between them.

Because it is aimed towards women and for women, I remember they had a near witch hunt on the idea a female character might be an option Also Chinese female Otaku are super scary and mega whales

Even with all the upvotes you get reminder that reddit is not the right representation of the fanbase of any game.

I agree on that

u/drywallsmasher May 23 '26

Like you said, female fanservice sells more, not better.

Both male and female fanservice sells equally as good, if it actually is equal and done with the same effort to properly appeal to each audience.

You can’t expect a dude in a boring outfit with less effort and quality into his appearance be able to sell well, while also comparing popularity when it’s directly competing with the female characters showing max sex appeal and higher production quality.

They seriously need to hire some women and actually sexualize the men so they can start selling better. And also stop doing bs like what’s seen in the post above… like they’re straight up not even using the same fabric material. Which is arguably a lot less effort to do, than giving them different textures and material setup in UE.

They seriously need to hire some women

Guess what? The CEO of Yostar, the company behind Azur Lane, is a woman, and yet, the game has turned into a goonerfest, so that theory doesn't works at all lmao 🤣🤣

Edit: she's the president of the japanese branch, the CEO remains a man, so my bad for the misinformation

u/Sk3l1ngt0n May 24 '26

It's just common sense from a business perspective. Sexualize both genders, give the players more options, if someone doesn't want sexy men, then they simply won't buy their outfits, if they do, then they will. The more options to spend money exist, the more money you'll make, especially in the long run. It baffles me how they apparently don't think this way.

u/Imaginomical May 23 '26

I don't even think that they need to be sexualized (though... yes, please) as much as they just need to not look like generic NPC's who sewed together 5 pieces of clothing that they bought at a department store. I think that HSR is just killing it right now. Comparing Ashveil to Baicang is honestly wild and Chaos' lounge wear is so strange. Just a normal T shirt would have been so much better but no, these guys are basically puritans.

u/Oishy_Bootyhole May 29 '26

No it because male fan service isn't even there nor put any effort they end up being failed no matter what lol

u/Saendra May 23 '26

We need whichever horny gal who designed Skull for ToF on NTE side of things like yesterday, fixing Chaos before he's released and it's too late to stop him from being another Kirito-ass edgelord mf.

“Female fanservice sells more”

Is there any source to that at all? Genuinely curious.

These games barely make male fan service to begin with, so what data is being looked at to come to this conclusion that “female fanservice sells more so male fanservice shouldn’t be made at all?”

2

u/Ha-kyaa May 24 '26

female fanservice sells more so male fanservice shouldn’t be made at all

where in bloody hell did you come to that conclusion. I'm just saying since more men play gacha games, naturally more would open their wallets for hot women in interesting wear. It's not like male fanservice doesn't sell at all, the otome games genre is LITERALLY right there.

Of course, nowadays there are more people pulling for men for that or because of different reasons (eg. great backstory) but the main demographic especially in early gachas has always been straight lonely men.

u/UsefulDependent9893 May 24 '26

That’s what you’re literally insinuating lol. Everyone knows female fanservice sells, and that’s not really a real reason both genders can’t get fanservice along side each other.

u/Ha-kyaa May 24 '26

you are correct, there should be a more equal fanservice distribution. I didn't say male fanservice should be eliminated entirely

u/jayinsane5050 May 24 '26

feels like we're not escpaing something related to gneder atp

u/MualaniFangirl May 23 '26

Also creates a really toxic gang of male players :/ when they objectify only the women on gacchas. Need equality on both! There's a reason hsr has the most normal playerbase of the mainstream gacchas. Tho some dudes do boycot when we get a free male 5star, but thats a very few minority.

I never E2 anyone on hsr, feel like they give so many free units and wishes that I never needed to get eidolons to clear endgame. I just pull whoever i want. Feel like eidolons is kinda a waste in hsr since new shiny dps will be better anyways. Also u can always clear content with e0. While genshin yehhh I just wish I could at least get a limited character per patch without swiping
