Is Shantae too over sexualized. I wanted to buy Shantae for my daughters (Oldest is 11 and youngest is 8.) but my wife thinks Shantae looks too over sexualized for young girls. I already watched clips of the game from Youtube with my daughters and they were excited with the game.
What do you think Sup Forums is Shantae way too over sexualized or is it ok to let my daughters play this game?

Only Pirate's Curse uncomfortably plays that up. Even then, it also laughs it off in the same sentence, which is what the reality is - it's fucking fiction. Shantae's designs aren't a far cry from, say, Disney's Aladdin (specifically, Jasmine).
Nevertheless, I know young minds are too impressionable to get that.
HGH is not that good, anyway. Risky's Revenge is short and easy, maybe start out with that. GBC is too clunky, SatPC is heavy-handed, and HGH is just poor form not to mention very tedious.
Owen Nelson
It's not for your daughters. It's for you.
Evan King
It's fine. If you really want to police it, just watch them play it and then if it goes bad rip the controller out of their hands and say it's a bad game.

Bran-Son is a way more child-friendly hero.

Shantae is female.
That's the most sexualization you're going to get out of it.
(But be careful if they're going to search her up in the internet)

the game is fine, if your daughters cared so much, then you know they are lesbian
I say its worth a

Game is filled with fan service for grown neckbeards who played the gbc game as kids. There's even some sexual references in dialogues (like when shantae takes a bath in a pool of monster slime and says it goes everywhere on her body) get them that yooka laylee instead
Lucas Hughes
HGH was such a disappointment, WayFrauds have only developed only a handful of decent games out of all the garbage they made

Shantae herself is probably the least of your concerns. Everyone around her is lewd.

she's pretty much made to be jacked off to, even when I was a little kid I jacked off to wayforward games like shantae and xtreme sports on gbc, it's literally ecchi
Austin Miller
Only male audience can be aroused by this game, so it's just regular game for everyone else.

>too over sexualized
>character was designed by a woman and named after a kid she looked after in a summer camp
John Bennett
Funfact: Her name is supposed to be spelled Chantae but bozon spelled it wrong during interviews.

No. Enjoy your new game.
Caleb Roberts
To sexualized unless you want to raise whores and sluts.
Brayden Martin
Everyone got a breast reduction in the latest game, which is ultra depressing considering of how its in high resolution.
Joseph Murphy
This shit kind of says more about the person accusing of sexualization more than the actual material.
It's like someone finding little kids in bikinis "sexualized" says a lot about how you see children more as something that can be explouted instead of something innocent and unaware. They're the ones sexualizing them.
Sebastian Johnson
She isnt even wearing any pants!
Leo Adams
What emotion is she trying to convey here?
Chase Perry
Just because a woman designed her doesn't mean she can't be oversexualized.
Having said that, she's a bloody half-genie in a fantasy Middle-Eastern setting, so her clothing makes perfect sense without showing too much of the wrong thing.
Easton Cook
Half-Genie Hero is an absolute piece of dog-shit so you shouldn't buy it for your daughters anyway.
Evan Garcia
It's not like the games are full of sexual innuendo, but even in the few cases where there might be, the kids won't understand or notice that anyway
Shantae is a strong female character so I think that will be good for your kids

Shantae as a whole is more cute and humorous than it is lewd.
Josiah Adams
Nothing is ever too sexual.
Mason Brown
The story and writing in all the games is dumb as shit suitable for kids so there's that

It's okay, she's a genie.

If your wife thinks breasts of anime girls are too sexualized, consider leaving her. Shes only going to turn your kids into sjws.

Shantae fan here, and here's a serious response for you. I played all the games. There's a goofy and fun atmosphere that I'd say is kid friendly, but there are definitely some light sexual jokes that are pretty much kid friendly. Like I mean a kid wouldn't notice that. For example, one of the characters keeps staring at a girl he likes in the bathhouse. The bathhouse is just a big room with an empty bath that heals u when u jump in. The only other person who is in the room is the lady that runs it and isnt naked at all.
Shantae was partially created by Matt bozon's wife as they both attempted to create a female lead that for girls to enjoy playing as. I doubt they'd purposefully undermine their own personal goal. If your wife complains, explain that. The only sexualization comes from jokes that go over kids' heads really.
Camden Williams
Has your kid ever watched a cartoon before? You know how some cartoons (e.g. spongebob) have sexual references sometimes without being explicit about it? It's like that.
Your kids won't catch on to it. It's subtle, just like a cartoon.
Jayden Perez
your wife sounds like an insecure cunt, don't let her insecurities hurt your daughter's sense of self confidence.
Aiden Adams
The character in your gif is literally created by a porn artist.
Michael Edwards
Don't forget the vore
But in all seriousness the character ingame fits and there's no hints of the fetish shit from what I remember
Thomas Miller
I'm waiting until all the modes are out to reserve my judgement.
James Perez
Sexualization happens mostly in the brain, so unless your daughters are lesbians, I wouldn't worry too much.
Dylan Thomas
It's really not. They've also back peddled on the sexyness of the pics. HGH is significantly less pandering.
Isaac James
So?
Just cause someone drew porn in the past doesn't mean they'll automatically draw porn now ffs.
Hell, just look at the entire Japanese industry, over 90% of their graphic designers tended to do lewd/erotic art before they got a job, as it turns out, making doujins and the like acts the same way as making mods for a game does here in the west when you wanna apply for a videogame company.
