...are YOU serious? I'm sorry, who died and made you Emperor/King/Queen/whatever of the LGBTQ community? Do you speak for the LGBTQ community? Did you not just say, in this very thread, that:

ProfesserAhnka
Sexuality means different things to different people

Maybe in your opinion, Liu Kang and Johnny Cage weren't sexy, but if you are honestly gonna sit there and tell me that there's not a single gay/bisexual man who didn't find them at all attractive in the past 27 years this franchise has existed, then you are so full of shit that I'm surprised you're not ready to burst at the seams.

I mean, as a bi male myself, I had a thing for Robin Shou, but certainly not for Liu Kang in particular.

Of course I can't declare it is the same for all other gay/bi male MK fans, but I will say I've never really heard anything of it. Usually the googly eyes were reserved for Rain, Reiko, and Shao Kahn. Why these three? I have no clue, but I've come across many a gay/bi male MK fan who've mentioned having the hots for them. Liu Kang not so much.

Gracias Riyakou. I have never seen or known anyone to lust over Liu Kang or even Johnny Cage. Mainly because they were never intended to be eye candy. A male character being shirtless doesn't make them eye candy.

Funny enough, I said earlier the only time I found Liu Kang to be hot was in MKVSDC and that was the most he ever resembled Robin Shou. So it was definitely more of a Robin thing than a Liu Kang thang. :P

That's the thing though. YOU don't get to decide what is and isn't eye candy. That's for others to decide. I've known plenty of people who have the hots for Kang and Cage. It's not as if they're scarce or they don't exist. That's what's bothering others. You can't be the gatekeeper of these things.

I'm not trying to be the gate keeper of anything. I'm simply saying I don't believe Liu Kang or Johnny Cage was meant to be eye-candy in the way @Nemesis316 was saying.

But I guess according to you- they were for some people. Cool. I never knew that.

Again, you don't know who's "meant" to be eye candy or not because no one can decide these. Controversial opinion: I'm gonna be upfront and say I find Sheeva attractive. Was she meant to be? I mean she's some 4 armed half dragon woman. Probably. Probably not. I'm not going around saying "Nah she wasn't meant to be cause I said so. Trust me. No one really does." It just comes off snobbish is all.

Fair enough, different strokes for different folks. I just used Liu Kang and Johnny Cage as examples since I see them as two core characters in the franchise, and the earliest examples of an MK fighter who might be considered sexy. My point was that you can find some kind of sex appeal in just about every MK character, regardless of whether you're gay, bi, straight, or lesbian. There are even people who wanna fuck Goro and consider D'vorah to be their bugfu.

I just want there to be a little tit and a little peck in my fightan video game. Not asking them to be full blown pornstars here but Christ let's have a little variety. I don't know why it's so bad for a woman to expose some skin and the same with the guys. "I-If you want that just go to pornhub!", yeah way to miss the point. No one is asking for this so they can jack off. I just want to reach some middle ground here.

Wanting to see more skin on the characters isn't necessarily good or bad. Instinctive desires cannot be helped, and I'd hesitate to apply a value judgment to someone's basic desire.

Demanding that the characters show more skin and acting like the creators committed some kind of human rights atrocity by taking your cartoon tits away, makes you sound like an asshole.

If they want to show the female characters wearing more revealing outfits that still fit their characterization, that's okay. If they want them to show a little less skin, that's also okay. It's not like anybody owes you some tits. They put in Sonya's classic "aerobics instructor" outfit as an alternate anyway, so it's not like they're totally avoiding skin.

Wow, this thread filled up pages quite quickly.
I've already partially given my opinion about the characters and how they look (clothing-wise), but to give more perspective. My standpoint is that of a transwoman with a preference for the female gender. People have their own opinions about what that makes me in gender and sexuality, but it makes it simple or complex on how you view it.

Although I liked the designs in MK9, they were too overly exposed and sexualized. Breast-sizes were almost porn-equivalent.
MKX did a lot better in the clothing department. Although as somebody already mentioned, lacking "color". But that was actually a problem througout the game in general. Breast sizes were decent. Loved Kitana's and Mileena's outfits in MKX.
MK11, liking the outfits in general, but hoping for more varied skins (for the females) and maybe some mored "daring" outfits à la MKX. Breast sizes, actually hard to see at the moment and haven't really focused on them. And even with the beta on hands, I've mostly been focussing on Kabal.

As for what attracts me the most is when a woman knows how to dress. Isn't really determined by the amount of skins she does or doesn't show. I just like it when someone shows personality (in character and clothing), man or woman.

But hey... yeiy!! for skins and let's hope there is enough that suits everyone needs/preference.

Very well said. Thank you for giving your insight. I've been waiting to hear quite a while for what women who find women attractive think on this subject so I'm glad you chimed in.

More varied skins is definitely something I can agree on.

This is true, but the point at hand wasn't really whether or not we fans considered a character sexy, but whether or not the developers intended for a character to be.

Mileena was certainly intended to be so, as evidenced by her Deception centerfold as well as her bandages costume in MK9. However, it seemed every female character in MK9 shared Mileena's raunchy intent, which is where the problem arose. Skarlet and Sheeva were rubbing all over themselves, while Jade used her staff likena stripper pole, none of it making a lick of sense. The intention of the developers went farther than it should've, and fans let them know.

Nothing about MK11's atmosphere or fighting environment says "street fight". Nor are they professional MMA organized matches.

These are deadly battles inside of an even deadlier war across several dangerous and foreign realms.

I don't mean to disrespect anyone, but I find the fact that people care about sex in videogames to be extremely baffling.

As far as double standard- I fail to see it. Yes, Kano's shirtless and oh so yummy(Yes, I'm objectifying him- It's our turn for once) but it FITS with his character and regardless of his level of attractiveness- a character like Kano would be shirtless. So there goes that argument, I guess?

TLDR; MK is not required to show you thirsty people boobies.

You... fail to see it? I don’t see how. I mean Baraka (in alternate skins) and Kotal are literally in loin cloths. If you agree with the guys wearing less clothes, that’s fine. That’s your choice... but let’s not pretend that there is no double standard because that would just be ridiculous.

Also, in reference to your point of “It FITS with his character!” Fine. Fair enough. Can’t argue that. But then what about Mileena? Mileena uses provocative outfits and over sexualized gestures to take attention away from her face. Her body has always been the most attractive thing about her so she goes out of her way to display as much of it she can without actually being naked. So THAT is part of her character.

look, it doesn’t matter to me either way. I love the game and I’ll always love the game. I’ll buy it no matter what. Been playing the beta and the game is amazing... clothes (or lack there of) is not going to change that fact. Bottom line, I don’t need video games to get me off.

So that’s not the issue for me here. The issue is Beran is spouting complete crap about WHY they did it. For more realism as related to a person being in a fight for their life? Right. When they literally never worried about anything like this in the past (A certain render of Mileena holding her sai in strategic positions comes to mind). Actually was it not Boon himself who said (in a behind the scenes/making video of mk3) “No one wants to pay for reality”... because I was almost positive it was.

Second issue, for me, is him taking the attitude of “If it bothers the fans, I don’t give a damn.” In more or less words. Really? You don’t care that you’re pissing off a large part of your fan base? The people who are actually buying your games and keeping you in business...they don’t matter? Because that’s the impression I got from what he said. And whether you are for or against the changes (as I said, it doesn’t matter to me) that is still a horrible way to treat fans who have been loyal to you for years (even through some not so great games let’s be honest). They wouldn’t be where they are today without their fans. He shouldn’t have went there.

This was not about making characters in MK more “realistic”. They’re pandering to a certain group of people who are not even going to buy their game to escape backlash and bad comments from these individuals. That is it. It’s a sudden and very alarming trend with game developers of late. It’s a damn shame that all these game developers are pissing off (and in some cases loosing) their core fans to win the approval of people who don’t even care about their game and won’t buy it. Call it what it is.
