Idk, I feel like men in gaming are almost exclusively now dedicated to the female gaze, at least in super popular franchises
You know what we need? Just straight up, more of everything. More sexualised men, women, more realistic men, women, all of the ranges, just let creators make what they like without filling quotas.
Leon is like, the prime example of this, they even admitted letting women have the biggest input in his design so they could thirst after him and make him more appealing. Chris too, but Leon is the first time they actually admitted that was the design brief here. Then you have characters like Clive (or really, any male FFXVI character), Jason in GTA6 seems pretty made for women in the same way Lucia seems quite made for men (obviously not exclusively but there's an element of appeal there), every BG3 character, CoD is made to be military cool, but they ride the line between "wow this is cool" and "wow this is horny".
Making guys who appeal to women in modern gaming is just good business.
Didn't know about Leon, that's a cool little fact. Maybe I didn't realize cause none of them appeal to me personally lol
But yeah, with more women playing games it is pretty good business, just like making attractive women also is. I just maybe think (UNASKED FOR OPINION AHEAD ‼️) You can make hot appealing ladies without having them sexualized (unless you want your characters to be sexualized for a specific reason) I have a hard time getting into a universe where everyone dresses characteristically to the enviroment except for that one woman whose bazongas couldn't fit in the armor so they got her spiked bikini

We need more men designed for the female gaze.
