New MOD adds 2B from NieR:Automata


Recommended Posts

This is disgusting and highlights the issue with mods. 2B isn't supposed to be in this game, yet here she is. This was neither the DoA's original intent or vision for the game nor Yoko Taro's vision for 2B, so this mod is disrespecting both parties and sexualising a character to hell and back for no real reason

 

Back when Toby Gard came up with the idea to change his whip-weilding male explorer to a female called Lara Croft, Eidos came up with the bright idea to abuse her and have her be sexualised in all sorts of adverts. This wasn't what Toby, the father of Lara, wanted so he promptly left the company and the games started to suffer as a result.

 

Now, Yoko Taro seems like the kind of guy who maybe will handle this a bit better than Toby did. But that doesn't make it okay to steal his creation, sexualise her, and then vandalise a completely different game in the process.

@madbuk If 2B or Lara Croft were real people, I'd completely agree with you. And I get what you're saying about 2B (and Lara) being more than just eye-candy in the game; I'm playing through it at the moment and she's a whole lot more than that. (Though all of the YoRHa units and Machine Androids in Nier Automata are highly sexualised in different ways, male or female.) The main point is that they're both fictional, non-existent people.

 

Real women are sexualised far more every day in the porn industry. It seems weird to me that some people choose to direct their anger at depictions of fictional characters where literally no-one is being harmed when there's a multi-billion dollar porn industry with a significant contingent of bad actors.

 

My first post here was meant in a lighthearted way. I'm not one to leer over animated characters seriously - it doesn't actually do anything for me - but nor do I begrudge people who do. It's a bit of fun, IMO.

 

If consumers don't like the mod (or, indeed, the depictions of the characters) they are free to ignore the products. Similarly itf Platinum/Square Enix have a problem with the mod, there are steps they can take to shut it down as it uses their copyright, presumably without permission.

In the Nier Automata lore, do the YoRHa androids even have genitals? Some of the male androids are depicted with Ken-doll like nether-regions, but then some of the YoRHa and Resistance androids seem to be pairing up and in relationships... I'm guessing they're all platonic relationships and no sexy-times actually happens?

That's definitely one way to get someone to play your game. 

 

...except it doesn't, really. DoA games have never caught that wave in the West.

Why would you ever give androids genitals, anyway? I suppose they could be the pleasure-bots in Blade Runner...

@starcrunch061 Eh, DoA does poorly fighting game wise because it doesn't have blood and guts like the trash MK franchise.  That's all LOL

 

Probably. My point remains - sexualizing fighting characters hasn't really helped sell more games. In fact, sexualizing characters doesn't really help for any games in the West.

Correct, even games like Yakuza have modes removed from them or what not, when/if they release to the West years laster.

Wasnt Yoko taro the person who said after seeing 2B fanart (sexualized) that it would be a shame to have all these fan arts spread in the internet , so lets just collect them all on one site.

I heard from a twitch streamer he got a follow from Yoko taro after posting a pretty lewd picture of 2B .

 

Yoko taro is a good guy :) needs more devs/creators like him. He is chill.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this in the original post, but... isn't that 2B reskinned Honoka? I believe the voice is not Yui and the lines sound like Honks.
