(Rant) Jesus christ, Zenless Zone is everything I hate
Posted November 8, 2023 by crodish in Games

It's a new game by Hoyoverse, who also did Genshin Impact, Honkai and Star Rail, etc. Judging from their character designs and splash art in Honkai Impact (worst offender being this piece of crap that is borderline censored porn https://honkaiimpact3.fandom.com/wiki/Hannah) I really shouldn't have been surprised but jesus fuck. It's another pornsick gacha game with big tiddy waifu and lolicon.

It's been in the makes for a long time now but I only learnt about it because they pushed a web event thing. One of the character's art had ridiculous boobs, I googled, and here I am.

At 0:30 we have Huge Boobs Sex Object whose jiggle physics are very intentionally and blatantly on display. And then after her we get a loli maid who keeps intentionally posing so she flashes her panties. And even after that when we get a flat chested tomboy we STILL have insane jiggle physics, somehow.

I don't get it. They know they alienated a large portion of female fans with Honkai Impact. It's why Genshin Impact was so universally loved. They toned down a LOT of the blatant objectification with their female characters (still pretty bad with characters like Eula and Chlorinde), started creeping it back in in Honkai Star Rail (Kafka, Topaz where the incels got so mad about the size of her butt being "nerfed" (it wasn't) that they wrote in to customer service to complain about it and had to be told there were "no abnormalities with the Topaz model"). But jesus christ I cannot with this pink haired double ZZ character. It's so obviously catered to the male gaze.

It looks like they've got amazing environment detail and interesting character design and really cool menu interfaces but everything is ruined by the blatant objectification. And people wonder why girls and women tend to choose male avatars and characters when they play games.

I don't see them employing jiggle physics on buff men's pecs or on their wangs inside their shorts. They've certainly started making all their male characters pretty and with stupid amounts of clothing windows, but that's about as close to objectifying the male characters as the females get.

This was a pretty great interview. Really wish she had gone harder on the trans kid issue, Bill has been dancing around the woke genderists all season and it's starting to seem suspicious. His final monologue for "New Rules" this episode was great and perfectly applies to the stupid gender bullshit, so I really don't understand why he won't call it out!

He's made dumb comments about transgender stuff in the past, such as presenting "bathroom bills" as being based upon "imaginary concerns," and mocking the idea of predatory males taking advantage of pro-genderism policies. Not really a fan of Steven Crowder, but he actually did a pretty good response to Bill's poo-pooing of a guest talking about people saying that men can menstruate. He refused to take it seriously, and Steven proved that not only are people saying this, but that companies are saying this.

I wish Bill had the guts to go there. Maybe he relies too much on his interns to tell him what the hot topics are now?

I've wondered what's up with him too. Usually there are no sacred cows if he thinks something is laughable, and this seems like just the sort of thing that he would find ridiculous. He's probably been told.

At the same time I'm not surprised he doesn't think much of the bathroom bills. I mean, I used to think that way too - who would go through the trouble? Well, I know better now!

I remember Bill rolling his eyes in a New Rules segment about TRAs canceling The Vagina Monologs

I remember he had Eddie Izzard on before he’d come out as trans and Bill kept being up the subject of him wearing women’s clothes and kind of mocking him. And I think after the heat he received from that episode he reeled it in. I’m sure if he had Eddie on now he’d be treating him like a proper lady to pander to the woketivists he claims to resent.

I'm glad to see someone else watched this episode. Notice she pulled her kids out of private school. No where is safe, even if you have money!

I like Megyn. I know she's somewhat of a darling of the right, but she gives no quarter with this foolishness.
