In that way, it's very similar to NieR Automata in that a significant number of people that are "fans" of it, are only interested in the pornography of the main character.

I spent an hour and a half looking up Stellar Blade smut, and 90% of it is just bland, uninspired blender/SFM renders of Eve with faceless muscular men, usually alongside 2B solely because they're both action game robot women.

Thousands of pieces but the art or animations inspired by actual scenes or interactions in game? Pictures that paired her with the myriad women that flirt with her/she flirts with, or otherwise bond with? I could count on my fingers.

Writing off its core thesis as nier automata for cumbrains(it is, but it isn't at the same time) and too shallow to enjoy despite actually having enough to talk about and digest that it actually has some genuine intrigue behind it outside of the main story(like the exosuit lore possibly being written as a passion over profit narrative culminating in yet another example of how society doesn't value an artist if they're too weird)

2. Memory Holing the whole shitty ass culture war aspect of a game people refuse to talk about as a game and more so an "own the libs" thinkpiece despite that narrative probably contributing to the doomer, ai bro mindset Kim Hyung Tae has been adopting(which imo is stupid as fuck because the Korean console gaming industry is still in its infancy)

3. People are really, REALLY weird about Asian women to the point of it bleeding over to its sequel(which is controversial for a couple of reasons), that again, feels less like an appreciation for art and action, and more like an attempt to fight the specter of "western gaming sensibilities", because the conventionally attractive woman is conventionally attractive.

And dare I say its not even with regards to Eve as a person because I remember when that game came out on ps5. I remember as well how most people would only show off vids of her ass sliding down ladders instead of Eve helping out struggling survivors or her relationship with Kaya. To the point of people seeing her as an angel sent from on high by god herself. Hell, I'd expect that kinda shit out of Nikke more but at the same time, Nikke's writing is so good most people excuse the fanservice and shitty nickel and dime mechanics as sacrifices made for good art.

""Catch 'em all?" Hmph. How base."
