Post Your Controversial Bemani Opinions

RGTM using a real world example of something someone perverted might get off to and others going into weirdly elaborate detail about shit that no one will notice unless they're actively looking for it are not the same thing but go off i guess

Konami has made like 3 good hard/boss songs since Extreme.

---

And they are?

---

I think the number's a lot higher but most of the good DDR hard songs come from other games.

---

RGTM comparing something not meant to be sexualized to something that was clearly drawn for that purpose regardless of whether or not anyone else was looking for it are also not the same thing but go off I guess

Yeah that’s what I meant. Made for DDR songs. Most of the good hard songs are transplants.

---

Right, lmao.

Anyway, I can't tell if you guys are denying that the pictures are at all suggestive or denying that it's a problem if they are or both.

Ya'll really do be like "um, the fact that you have noted that the art we enjoy depicts young girls in sexually suggestive poses and clothing is actually a really bad look for you"

Saber Wing Headshot, Unbelievable, and feel free to add a third one because I can’t actually think of any.

As someone who hates the artstyle anyway, I don't really see them as that suggestive. They just get a dismissive shrug from me whenever someone tries to insist they're child porn.


Splash Gold is pretty good.

---

tbh this is probably down to the market, once every three songs is at MAX 300 level+ they stop feeling special.

I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but being miles away from an arcade and with actual beer gut I'm not the person to ask about that anymore.

Do we really need to see up a childs thigh?

---

However suggestive certain art of anime girls and boys can actually get, let's just remind folks that don't understand:

IT'S NOT CHILD PORN.

Also, ENDYMION is a compositional masterpiece.

---

No, but the fact I didn't even NOTICE the inch showing there tells me it's not the worst thing ever.

---

I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you

The “soft core” tag exists in porn for a reason. That line you’re seeing right there is literally a child’s ass.

---

^ Right, like

"I'm 2 centimeters from the line but I haven't crossed it so you can't say SHIT"

This assumes we know the artist's intent, which we don't. It's a graphic we look at for a couple seconds while browsing the song selection on whatever game we're playing it on. I really don't think it's that deep


Literally no one said "yeah we enjoy this" but keep projecting

I’ve seen grown ass men drooling on wrestling twitter over less exposure on some of those women’s outfits. Of the three categories I mentioned earlier (“out of line”, “questionable”, and “okay yeah Emi isn’t 18 but she’s wearing sweatpants and a jacket calm down”) this one is out of line. It’s clearly sexualized. And to some degree we just have to live with that from Japan. It is what it is I guess. But people trying to explain it away is and always will be weird.

looks at the Alexa Bliss fandom

---

I’m sure the artist accidentally drew her in a suggestive pose and made sure her ass was drawn.

Okay yeah you know exactly what people I’m talking about.

Every extra stage song in Ace was lit.
Except for Ace For Aces, which is one of the worst songs in the series.
