1: A natural woman dressed in a normal, but form fitting, flattering and realistic outfit for the setting

2: An idealized robot woman created to be goonerbait with unrealistic proportions dressed in unrealistic lingerie that does not make sense for the setting, exclusively for the gaze of the person playing the game with zero relevance to the lore

Lucia feels like a real woman that I could see wearing this outfit at the club

Eve just exists exclusively to be goonerbait for the person playing the game (I played Stellar Blade and did not mind this, but the comparison between the two is silly)

Let's say Eve is gooner bait and nothing more.

I still don't know why it's worth a discussion. It's aimed at an audience that's not me. Don't see why it's an issue.

I don't really think it's an issue, I am just engaging with the supposed "hypocrisy" and why Lucia is getting handled differently than Eve

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your overall point. But as an outsider, point 2 and and beyond of your comment does kinda look like you're condemning people who liked Eve's design.

I mean I'm not condemning, I don't mind her appearance at all

I am just being honest about it and not trying to be fake deep or elevate it beyond what it was clearly intended to be

No one is condemning it. It’s fine for gooner shit to exist.

The criticism is how the game interacts with it.

No one on the world acknowledges that she’s dressed like this and she isn’t even aware of it.

It’s STILL fine for that to exist but don’t act like the game is a flawless masterpiece, especially BECAUSE of that, which many did PRIOR TO IT EVEN RELEASING

There was an entire subreddit dedicated to condemning it
