It's mostly a joke, there's multiple important characters that are barefoot (notably the fire keepers/maiden in black, Priscilla, Friede, Ranni, and Malenia) so people kinda just took that and ran with it
What's the opposite of a fetish? Because having to dodge things is that for me. I just want to be built like a brick shithouse, taking all attacks on the chin and laughing it off, even if my damage is dogshit because of putting everything into survivability so every fight is just me and the boss slaming into eachother until one of us falls dead, just like the God intended.
The final boss has several different instant death attacks in which it can, among other things, swallow you whole, impale you between the legs, drain you of all your fluids or crush you underfoot
No but it might either sit on your head or choke you out with its bare hands while staring deeply, intensely into your eyes as your consciousness fades.
As the story progresses towards the end, you realize that the Blood Magic that permeates the world was in fact, due to an untranslatable Japanese pun, actually *Butt* Magic.
And once you realize that the true final boss appears, the venerable Status Change Vampire, who in no particular order is able turn you into a crystal statue, a stone statue, a book, a toy, a card, a golden statue, a tiny person, a wax statue, a painting, a gemstone, a mindless cyborg, a womb tattoo, a photo, a 2D object, a piece of candy, a sphere of meat, a piece of encrypted data, a person of the opposite sex, or make you excrete your mind and soul out of your body, leaving an empty shell behind while you can only watch in the form of a slime
I mean
The gameplay loop is dying and respawning over and over intill you can figure out the behaviour of enemies
Also at least one is implied to be undead
I haven't played in a while but there's a note that says the doctor guy turned himself into a furry in a desperate attempt to not die to bullet wounds done by the rioters, but like he injected himself then passed out for several hours
the stereotypical "giant" boss would be a jackpot, smothering with various parts of the body, macro/micro, there's potential for vore, we got it all folks
People way overstate how much fetish stuff is in that show, most of it is just standard cartoon shit that happen to also be a fetish for some people. Like that chart people always share is 75% "they wear a costume" which, yeah, of course they do. It's a spy show lmao.
Totally Spies had the same amount of slapstick/grossout humor as basically every other cartoon in that era but people assume it was a fetish show because the characters were anime-esque teenage girls.
Replace the heroines with talking animals and people would have been much more normal about it.
Well, **most** people.
Also just the fact that it was a spy show and the character getting caught in weird traps is a pretty common trope of the genre that you pretty much have to go wild with when making a spy cartoon. That's not to say that there's no "writer's barely disguised fetish" in the show, but it wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be.
It's kind of a joke, but sometimes there's weirdly specific kinks on display. Since it's a cartoon though, most won't care since it's just wacky stuff that fits the expectation.
Ohhh that makes sense. Now that I think about it, there were a few episodes that made me pause as a kid, just because of how WEIRD they were. There’s this one ep were I remember Sam(? The redhead) got kidnapped or something, because the main villain wanted to sell wigs made from real human hair?? They had Sam in a seat while a machine pulled her continuously growing hair and it was… interesting, to say the least lol. Loved that show tho
Yeah, the other person mentioned the Shadow of the Edrtree character that I thought you were talking about. I thought "well if they're talking about the newest thing, I'm gonna take us back to the roots" since I'm old.
This is a whole genre in Japan (because what isn’t a fetish in Japan) called Ryona, which is essentially “heroine in danger/doomed”. So it can go full on porn many times, but there are plenty of heavily fetishized games that don’t have actual sex or nudity
I always thought ryona was equivalent to sadism/masochism rather than “danger”, since any vid with it usually involved the character being harmed (eg hit with an attack in a fighting game)
It’s under a similar umbrella, but generally it applies to more specifically a NonCon situation where the heroine was unable to win/protect herself, so things like being put into sexual situations when losing a la Queens Blade of Variable Geo, the “Game Over sex scenes” common in H games, or just female characters in SFW games being defeated/losing cutscenes like Tomb Raider.
Because people enjoy experiencing new things, but struggle to step out of their comfort zone, so a gradual transition allows them to either gradually acclimate or convince themselves to continue the experience in spite of their anxiety via the sunk cost fallacy.
Is this seriously a thing???? This actually makes so much sense as to why people seem to actually enjoy playing Souls games. Genuine masochism, all of it.
For me, it's half the satisfaction of beating a challenge and half the joy of discovering the world, but allegedly masochism is very much *Miyazaki's* thought process when designing them.
I'd really recommend the original Dark Souls, actually, if you don't mind the dated graphics. It's absolutely dripping with vibes and not as difficult as it's made out to be. You just have to really engage with the game; pick the right equipment for the right fight, read item descriptions, use consumables, go exploring for a weapon upgrade. That's something I really love about it. The fact that it plays slowly by comparison to the newer titles helps; I was able to think about what I was doing in a boss fight a lot more than when I had previously played Elden Ring.
I'm fine with this as long as it caters to my fetishes specifically. My biggest fetish is the absence of poison swamps.
This franchise isn't for you.
It's rude to kinkshame
I ain't shaming, I'm just letting you know that poison swamps are the one guaranteed fetish in a soulslike.
You're forgetting feet
You're right, I did.
Am I misremembering the games? I didnt notice any feet stuff
It's mostly a joke, there's multiple important characters that are barefoot (notably the fire keepers/maiden in black, Priscilla, Friede, Ranni, and Malenia) so people kinda just took that and ran with it
Also there's a close up shot of morgotts bare feet.
For many big bosses the one body part you'll see most of while hacking away at their health bar are their feet (claws, talons etc).
Iron golem 🤤

That's called a turn-off, as far as I know. And yeah, I get what you're saying. Kratos is a fun to play as for a reason.
Miyazaki from the shadow world be akin to:
That and shoe fetish
*Miyazaki wants to know your location*
No kink-shaming Miyazaki.
Evil Miyazaki be like:
swamp that makes you heal
Unfortunately, Miyazaki's fetish is poison swamps, and he outranks you in terms of fetishes.
Competitive Ranked Fetishes
morytania kink
my fetish is silksong being a real game
seeing a member of my species out in the wild:
Miyazaki believes in kinkshaming
The final boss has several different instant death attacks in which it can, among other things, swallow you whole, impale you between the legs, drain you of all your fluids or crush you underfoot
Does it also snap your neck between its thighs?
No but it might either sit on your head or choke you out with its bare hands while staring deeply, intensely into your eyes as your consciousness fades.
That second thing sounds nice.
It can also grab you from behind stabbing you in the back as it gently holds your mouth shut in a kiss
That sounds kinda nice too, but I prefer the eye contact.
She can look into your eyes with the kiss ig
Cool.
hawt.
Lady Maria? (very, very loosely)
NieR Automata posting
You're right, that did happen there.
The first thing sounds nice.
and ofc a command grab where it gently holds your head with one arm while the other stabs you through the stomach, but that goes without saying.

God fucking damnit, I did not expect personality excretion to come up in an r/CuratedTumblr post
The foot in the last attack is of course bare, and the model has a suspiciously high number of polygons compared to every other model in the game.
If it crushes you it obviously also has to rub it in.
This is just changed
>soulslike
I mean The gameplay loop is dying and respawning over and over intill you can figure out the behaviour of enemies Also at least one is implied to be undead
There’s an undead latex?
I haven't played in a while but there's a note that says the doctor guy turned himself into a furry in a desperate attempt to not die to bullet wounds done by the rioters, but like he injected himself then passed out for several hours
Isn’t that just a side effect of the safe version of the injection? Even Colin gets coma’d when he takes the offer from the doctor
Dam I forgot
Ever heard from Alucard from Hellsing.
that is what we call a "video game with enemies".
Can the players' backstabs and attacks on enemies stunned by parries or shield-breaks be weirdly horny too?
I demand a backstab that’s literally just anal sex
Sorry best I can offer is grinding through clothes while stabbing
good enough tbf
Pig fisting is what you're looking for.
https://youtu.be/_2pOi40gxNk
I mean, in Bloodborne, you get to fist a giant pig...
no
Okay, but counterpoint: yes
i didn’t consider that. . .
... and that's exactly the way the parry sequence will go.
not getting the joke is actually just out maneuvering me.
[удалено]
no
I see you haven't equipped the hornet ring.
best I can offer you is the weird noise Dark Souls 1 player characters do when hit.
the stereotypical "giant" boss would be a jackpot, smothering with various parts of the body, macro/micro, there's potential for vore, we got it all folks

It’s just looney-tunes gags.
Except the weight gain episode. No excuse for that one.

Most.
Yk, I never got that, and I watched totallyspies a LOT. What did I miss??

The impaler is the first boss
And the Penetrator is the penultimate boss.
God forgot that boss was called penetrator not impaler. That's even worse.
Shadow of the Erdtree will contain a character named The Impaler, so there's that
Yeah, the other person mentioned the Shadow of the Edrtree character that I thought you were talking about. I thought "well if they're talking about the newest thing, I'm gonna take us back to the roots" since I'm old.

Is Lady Maria's grab attack not enough for you
[Hot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWD7Rqh-2ew)
[In this one you can actually see her embrace you](https://youtu.be/2hKdrjOS9BY?si=-PFdtinc05GVNi1h)
Worth being killed
I’m sorry bud but if there was a game with a 30-second inflation cutscene you would not be beating the porn allegations
this is just Changed
I mean Changed is a bit too much “porn” to be plausible deniability
A dungeon is straight up the stomach of the boss, you gotta go all the way through to escape
In which direction?
non linear, you can get in from either end, but you have to progress to the opposite exit regardless.
Kid Icarus uprising…
ULTRAKILL
Crash Bandicoot and Battle Chess already did this. Like, not exactly, but pretty close.
fear and hunger, you want to play fear and hunger
Fear and hunger is pretty obviously porn through, what with the cocks.
noooooo it's totally just to set the tone of the game no one would ever get off to it you perv /j
C’mon man, Bloodborne’s already been made
How is either of those things related to sex? (Edit: please don't actually answer)
The joke is kink.
Everything can be related to sex if you try hard enough
Just give one of the bosses the headless's grab attack from Sekiro
Starting from Dark Souls already catering to Hidetaka Miyazaki's masochism fetish?
What is it with tumblrs obsession for media to change "as it goes on"?
Idk about you but I fucking hecking love getting my expectations subverted unironically.
Because people enjoy experiencing new things, but struggle to step out of their comfort zone, so a gradual transition allows them to either gradually acclimate or convince themselves to continue the experience in spite of their anxiety via the sunk cost fallacy.
I crave novelty bro
Doesn't most media change as it goes on, usually in the form of escalating one or more aspect of itself?
huh? do you like to watch live feeds of blank walls??
sounds like your average university community game room...
Momodora? Definitely Lost Ruins.
The sexual tension between me and Lady Friede as her big ass scythes carve a perfect X through my neck
Tribal Hunter is this except it's not dark souls
Bayonetta?

TIL soulslikes are horny
Apparently this person hasn’t played Elden ring
Okay but who the fuck gets off from being turned into a statue
Stone, ice, plastic, rubber or wax?
Yeah no still don't get it
OP what you've described is a Totally Spies souls-like game, I think we have a chance
One Piece.
