Pick any site, and show me games where multiple men are paraded around (the same way that women are) half naked, with skimpy outfits that barely cover grossly enlarged bulges? And I don't mean 1 man in 1 game for 1 scene that doesn't even focus on his privates. I mean, make it equal to how women are treated - multiple men paraded around.

Yes I'm a woman. No I don't like porn. But my main issue, is that this is always done at the expense of the woman, not the man. The man is not treated like an object. If there was the same amount of games treating men and women equally, I still wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't have such a problem, because it wouldn't be only the women that are targeted.

I don't think I can find the examples you're asking for, because like I said in my previous post, I don't think that is what women typically want in an erotic game. No publisher or developer would want to make games like that because they wouldn't think they'd be profitable.

If you don't like porn, and therefore don't play porn games, how do you know the women are being objectified? Is simply being naked and/or having grossly large private parts inherently objectification? Doesn't the evaluation of objectification depend on the context of the nudity? I think Japanese visual novels do a good job of humanizing women.

In Japanese visual novels, female characters typically are respectfully clothed in all non-sex scenes. Female characters are typically educated, cultured, and/or have respectable careers. They have a diverse range of hobbies/interests like video games, history, novels, movies, sports, science, etc. They have a diverse range of personality types and may have traumatic or tragic pasts.

In Japanese VNs, you'd have to go through a long sequence of romance scenes before even getting to a sex scene.
During sex scenes, female characters will voice their inner monologue and openly express how you should act to please her.

In Japanese VN sex scenes, men are objectified more than women.
Female characters often have dialogue lines voiced by professional voice actors whereas the male protagonist only has dialogue text without voice acting. The male protagonist's face is robotic and expressionless (the man's eyes are covered with only nose and mouth showing). The male protagonist's body has a grossly large genitalia; it is like he only exists as a sex toy for the woman.

I always saw the female characters in VNs as humans with feelings, desires, and accomplishments, not as objects.

To be fair, you seem to know more about how this works than others, so you see the problems that others don't. That's a blessing and a curse. I don't notice any of those issues and see no problem with it. We're not all graphic designers here.

I'll tell you why - women aren't interested in that. Statistically, the very few who look at porn (in the Philippines and here in the US) are not even going to male porn first. They're looking at women. Lesbian porn has been the most viewed female category for women on pornhub over the past number of years.

Most women into this material aren't playing these games. They're reading romance novels or they're watching shows about dangerous men. Sure, they're sexy dangerous men but it's not who they are that makes them appealing, it's what they do. The more adventurous and less boring he is, the more she is attracted to him. That also runs into wealthy, good looking and well dressed men. We have Hallmark here in the US and they show movies made for women with the same kind of plot. She's a strong, independent woman with a menial job and maybe she's a mom, maybe she isn't. But she's waiting for a charming, handsome and wealthy man to approach her and take her away from the menial drudgery of her current existence. She can quit her job and she can go work at his company and live in his ranch house or his mansion. Or maybe he'll leave his company and decide to take all his assets and marry her in her small mid-western town.

We all know what women like. If it isn't those kinds of men, then it's vampires, werewolves, cryptids (like Bigfoot). I remember one line from a romance novel stated that the monster had a member like a telephone pole. We men, we like pictures. You women, you like words. Give us a hot sexy woman and we're good. But if you have a charming, wealthy and decent looking man, you're fine. However, I also hear that older women with money are getting into younger male boy toys. I think there are a few games like that. There are a lot of games in this genre where you play as the young man and the older woman seduces you. That's a fantasy for both of us, I think. Men and women both.

It isn't that you don't like nudity. But that's not the reason you go for a man. If nudity was the reason, then women would be going with the man who sent them the largest spicy pic in their instant messenger. I've seen men chase women on Instagram just because of how large certain assets were. Women don't do that, at least not most women. But they will chase down a man who looks like he's doing something she wants to be a part of. An adventurous, wealthy or powerful looking individual. That's what she wants. Women want to be a part of that. That's their fantasy.

And that's why this genre will always be more centered towards men. You've got your version on the bookshelves of the local grocery or retail store, with dozens on Amazon. I've even got a friend who writes these and she's really damn good at it. Live and let live. I don't call it exploitation if only the men in your books and movies are handsome and wealthy. So it should not be exploitation if the women in our games are hot and sexy. Just as long as we realize it's fantasy.

Slight correction: Okay, so you are right about some of that, but um... Fast food eroge does exist too. We don't have that many of them here unless maybe Kagura counts? But companies like Appetite and Cherry Kiss are just straight up smut. Just for clarification this material does exist for a quick fap (I think they call it goon now) and that is its only purpose. They have an audience, but it isn't the people (usually) who come to the genre for a story. Though if someone has a bit of a fetish, "mistakes are made."

Regardless of the reasoning, companies will more often keep such cost cutting measures in place permanently. So even if things 'get better' at some point, I doubt we'll see better support and the like spring up. At this point i'd say maybe CDP should sell gog off to an entity that actually has the time and resources to do things like legitimately preserving games. Yeah there's a risk of things getting worse, but i'd rather a chance at a fresh start than the half hearted goings on we have now.

LOL.

Careful what you wish for. Just think about this. GOG manages to terminate your account because you keep using these alt accounts and then CDP sells GOG to Epic Games. The very first action of Epic Games will be closing this forum. Then all your alt account creations will be for naught.

I don't have an answer, really. I have no idea what is going on at the company and play it by ear. They seem to be all about preservation now and it has brought a lot of older classic games over, so whatever they're doing it is better than I have seen in a while. Mistakes have been made here and there, but they are at least trying to listen to the community now. However, things like a basic filter would help them so much.
And finally, yes there are an equal number of games where the men are treated as such, but you wouldn't know because all you see is what is on GOG, not steam or itch where they're at - or Patreon, where they're all funded. Great Deceiver, which we have here is exactly that - but femdom games where the man is treated like a sex object by women are normally targeted to - yep, men. I've got stats to prove that.

Listening or pretending to? I'd guess it's more likely the former (same with their other recent PR stunts).
That said, a set of filters would be nice. I reckon we'll see some by 2030 or so...

I don't like Lust Academy style because of its rather stiff, a bit repetitive quality, with a bit of uncanny (I don't own the game but I can say it from the images).
I think however you're going too far: it's like saying "Why reading Tolkien when you can read Edda" (Someone actually said that when the books came out) or "Why buying Age of Wonders 4 when you can buy Master of Magic Classic"?
There's a lot of nuances in between when you choose a game, and time/production value matters, the old does not automatically lose to the new, though

Remember when Good OLD Games was all about older games, and kept releasing old gems regularly? Good times. Now it is basically Steam plus indie hellhole.

They still do rerelease old games though?
Maybe not the ones you're waiting for and not at the rate you wish they would, but that's more the developers' and/or publishers', and less GOG's fault. I'm sure GOG would jump at the opportunity to re-release all the Dungeon Masters, MechCommanders, Black & Whites, Command & Conquers, Diablo 2's and what have you, if the rights holders of these games would let GOG do that.

You misunderstand. There's a place for both. let's use a recent example. The new Superman film is rather divisive because this Superman isn't quite like any I've ever seen on the screen. However, that doesn't negate the originals. Some may prefer this one because it's more comical and edgy, but some might prefer the classic Superman instead. It is possible to like both or prefer one over the other. I like this game a bit more for what it does, but won't disqualify the hand-drawn art of Spellcasting. They're both good in their own separate ways. There are definitely animations as well. I do understand that some are turned off by the Uncanny Valley (which is why I call our segment with these games on the channel literally, Grim's Uncanny Valley) but some like myself are actually turned on by it. I prefer the uncanny look to a full-on realism. To each their own.

You don't have to enter a Victoria’s Secret store to see underwear and giant screens showing women in underwear. It can all be seen through the windows. Where do you think the term "Window shopping" comes from? Shops put their product on display, so they could be seen without having to enter the store. This is no different.

Nobody forced you to enter Victoria's Secret and nobody is forcing you to click on these games. But ads were always in public.

That being said, I am not against a filter. If only to stop this never-ending drama.
