"Sword Star" is prejudicefully defined by many Western media as "porn games" because of its super sexy heroine setting. However, when the promoter Based Player asked Grok to compare the number of neutral scenes of "normal (Western) games" and the successful "porn games", the latter turned out to be 0.
Sexual scene comparison:
Dragon Age: The Guardian of Shadow: 7
Mass Effect 3: 6-8
"Cyberpunk 2077": 4-6
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunter": 5-7
"Bad Gate 3": 5-7
Dragon Age: Judgment: 4-6
"God of War 4": 2-3
"Storm": 1-2
"Sword Star": 0
Player: These Western gaming media are not against sexual/degenerate, but against healthy aesthetics, and that is their political agenda.
Background interpretation:
The female lead Eve of "Sword Star" is designed to be highly sexy, wearing exposed clothes and emphasizing body curves (such as hips), which has been criticized by some Western media as "hypersexualized", believing that it caters to "male gaze" rather than giving the character depth or personality.Some commentators, such as IGN French editor Erwan Lafleuriel, have suggested that Eve’s design was unrealistic and even claimed that the designer “never seen a real woman”, sparking strong criticism.This criticism ignores the Eve prototype based on South Korean supermodel Shin Jae-eun, leading players to think that the current media is too hypocritical.
Kim Hyung Tae, director of South Korean developer Shift Up, said in an interview that the game aims to provide an "idealized" rather than realistic entertainment experience, which is in line with the aesthetic preferences of some Asian markets (such as fashion and sexy designs commonly found in Korean MMO games).However, Western media prefer to advocate "reality" and "diversity", believing that Eve's design does not conform to the modern trend of gender and racial diversity.This cultural difference is interpreted by Western media as "backward" or "sexual discrimination."
Some Western media criticized the "disgusting" comments from fans of "Sword Star" games and the over-attention to Eve's sexy design, believing that this reflects the gaming industry's stereotypes about women.The player group refuted, saying that the media politicized the game and ignored the excellent combat system and visual style.
In recent years, the Western game industry has tended to "desexualize" the presentation of female characters, such as Abby in "The Last Survivor 2".In contrast, "Sword Star" is considered to have returned to the sexy styles of games such as "Neil: Age of Mechanical" and "Angel Hunter" and touched the sensitive nerves of some media.Critics argue that Shift Up uses Eve's sexy design to hype rather than focus on game quality.Supporters believe that this is just a normal business strategy that caters to a specific audience, and the game's action gameplay and art design have been widely praised.
