History DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything / Videogames

* M. Bison's neutral standing animation in the original ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' games. [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/b/b0/Bison-snk-stand.gif Made even worse in SNK vs. Capcom.]]

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': At first glance, the only part of Nico's design that seems provocative is her extremely short shorts. However, checking up on her tattoos, there are two mirrored pistols design on her navel area, with the way they're positioned making it very clear the gun barrels go down all the way "''downtown''".

** The [[[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6UaPnRYcc Lucifer acquisition cutscene]], where Dante gives a rather graphic description of how the weapon is supposed to be used, but hilariously combined with LargeHam and sexual innuendos.

** Sanctus' line when he entices Nero to surrender and be merged with Kyrie inside The Savior. His figure of speech is both interpreted literally because the Savior [[InformedAttribute supposedly]] fuses the bodies of the individuals used as its "cores", and figuratively because he knows that Nero and Kyrie romantically love each other.

* Dante acquiring Lucifer in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6UaPnRYcc&t=32s See for yourself]]. "First I whip it! Then I thrust it! Penetrate!" The sexual component combined with the LargeHam is hilarious.
--->" Is it not your wish to become one with her?"

--->Yes! I'm, I'm, cooooming now!

** After Haru using her gun (which is a freaking grenade launcher!), she may randomly say "that felt good!".

* ''VideoGame/Persona4'':

* ''VideoGame/JennyLeClue'': Arthur K. Finklestein, the author of the ''Jenny LeClue'' series, is shown to be downright ''terrified'' of putting Jenny in any sort of danger, which is the primary reason his books have lost a fair amount of their former popularity. The character of Jenny herself longs for nothing more than some real adventure, but she's constantly railroaded by her creator into solving the most mundane and unimpressive mysteries imaginable. When he finally does allow her to veer out of his comfort zone, he almost has a panic attack over it at first and at one point even tries to retcon his changes, but eventually learns that he must let things play out on their own and explore new ideas as a writer. Without the writer/character angle, this could almost be read as an overprotective father accepting that he can't protect his daughter from everything and learning to let her go and develop into her own person.

*** There's also Sephiroth doing ''MindRape'' to Cloud to the point where he could [[HeroicBSOD no longer function]]. He needed "rape counseling" from Tifa in a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind before he was able to do anything at all.

** The infamous massage minigame ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2''. Leblanc has just left a meeting with Meyvyn Nooj. A disguised Yuna must fumble her way through a back massage while Leblanc waxes poetic about how manly Nooj is. The colors indicate how close we are to one of Leblanc's knots ''a la'' Minesweeper, and once you hit it, Leblanc moans in ecstasy and does her trademark hand gesture, and the grid resets.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': For nearly a thousand years, the Al Bhed were persecuted and demonized for using technology, forbidden under Yevon's teachings, and have far less rights than other humans and even a handful of different races. Around the middle of the game, Yevon under Seymour's command attacks the Al Bhed using the kidnappings of summoners as an excuse ([[spoiler:which they ''are'' guilty of, but [[SenselessSacrifice for more moral reasons]]]]) and destroys their Home; it is heavily implied that the Al Bhed are being subjected to genocide.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'': The game starts with people who have been rounded up and put on a train. They have been told that they will be resettled, but they will really be executed.

*** There's even a scene in Gongaga where Cloud's lying on a bed, clearly severely traumatised, while the others try to convince him that what Sephiroth forced him to do wasn't his fault and doesn't mean Cloud wanted it. Let's add into this the way Sephiroth tells Cloud 'I am always by your side', and the bizarre sexual symbolism of Cloud being forced to find Sephiroth's Materia coffin in the centre of a pink, pulsating, ring-shaped structure, and penetrating it to give him the Black Materia.

* In ''VideoGame/ToothAndTail'', the setting's FunnyAnimals civilization considers [[SapientEatSapient meat-eating]] civilized and good, and eating vegetables barbaric and bad[[note]]this actually has precedent in RealLife: During early European history vegetables were considered peasant or animal food, [[ConspicuousConsumption and the rich ate an almost all-meat diet as a sign of status]][[/note]]. When the source of meat (a SlaveRace of pigs) dwindles due to over-consumption, the animals, who are all omnivorous, ''could'' all choose to eat vegetables like the pigs. Instead, they choose to implement increasingly draconic measures that eventually spiral into an all-out CivilWar rather than stop eating meat, because the concept of "meat-eating = civilization" is so internalized to them (even the poor Commonfolk, who were the ones most victimized by the old system, can't even concieve of changing the system beyond making a modification that puts them in charge of it). The paralells to real-life worries of overconsumption leading to unsustainable growth and global warming, to say nothing of a number of [[NoBloodForPhlebotinum real-life wars over resources that aren't strictly necessary for survival if we learned to distribute them properly]] is fairly blatant.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': The names of [[MsFanservice Tifa's]] {{Limit Break}}s are highly suggestive. [[ADateWithRosiePalms "Beat Rush"]], "Meteordrive", "Dolphin Blow" and [[TheImmodestOrgasm "Final Heaven"]]. The [[WebVideo/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged abridged series by Team Four Star]] played this for laughs.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterProm'': Zoe's attempt to live life as a high-school girl is framed as an allegory for a transgender person undergoing transition. She is sometimes identified as Z'Gord by the cultists and other members of the student body, and is exclusively referred to as Z'Gord by [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Leonard, hateful little bastard that he is]]. Throughout the game, Zoe repeatedly says that she doesn't want to be known as Z'Gord anymore and just wants to live a normal life. Add on top of that the fact that Zoe's voice actor is non-binary, the parallels are obviously intentional.

* In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', there's the Khezu. It's a big white wyvern which head looks like... uh... [[http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Khezu see for yourself]]

** They [[{{Handwave}} explain]] the Evoker by saying that the act of putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger evokes a visceral mental trauma that causes your Persona to manifest itself. Of course there's some AppliedPhlebotinum crammed in there too.

** The game: ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Dramatis personae: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], older {{Bishounen}} ManipulativeBastard famous for the gargantuan amount of FoeYay between himself and his [[TheHero opposite number Cloud]] from [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover his original game]]--oh, and for [[EvilIsSexy dressing like a leather-loving bondage dom.]] VideoGame/{{Fi|nalFantasyII}}rion, teen rebellious spirit and friend of Cloud; another white-haired {{Bishonen}} whose gruff exterior belies an earnest and innocent nature that (among other things) has earned him a FanNickname that translates to "virgin." [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior Of Light]], TeamDad of the heroes, shares a lot of traits with the AloofBigBrother and TheStoic. The scene: Warrior Of Light comes across the tail end of an encounter between Firion and Sephiroth, with the former obviously injured, winded, and in a bad way. Warrior Of Light covers Firion's escape, while Sephiroth mocks him about having done something [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable.]] Later, we discover...that Sephiroth had taken Firion's wild rose.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': The names of [[MsFanservice Tifa's]] {{Limit Break}}s are highly suggestive. [[ADateWithRosiePalms "Beat Rush"]], "Meteordrive", "Dolphin Blow" and [[TheImmodestOrgasm "Final Heaven"]].

*** They managed to sneak that into SSBB, too. Strange thing is, you can't hurt him when he appears.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': The quest "Not Easy Being Green" features two lovers, a Miqo'te and a Hyur, who were kicked out of their village for being "different", and go on a bit of a CharacterFilibuster on how cruel it is to treat people badly for "being different". While the dialogue strongly implies that their [[MalignedMixedMarriage differing race]] was the issue, the fact that they're both men brings to mind the obvious parallel in anti-LGBT discrimination.

* ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'': One (rather infamous) side-quest revolves around a mysterious man who uses pheromones to render various women uninhibited and open to persuasion and then leads them back to his secluded lair, the women themselves turning up a day later, unable to remember anything that happened. [[RapeAsDrama Yeah.]] [[spoiler:It's never actually said that he does anything perverse, but he does use his various targets to worm his way into high society and high command, you have to let Edea (15 in Japan, 18 everywhere else) fall victim to him to stop him, and his dialogue's tone implies that more goes on than he says]].

** [[MadScientist The Institute]] -- the game's BigBad faction -- justifies their brutal conspiracy over the Commonwealth by claiming that it's for [[WhiteMansBurden "the natives' own good,"]] but in practice uses it as ''carte blanche'' to steal valuable resources, like Pre-War salvage and surviving infrastructure, right from under the noses of the Commonwealth's impoverished inhabitants with no regard to the consequences to support their own society -- which is downright utopian in comparison thanks to their superior technological advancement. They dedicate incredible resources to destabilizing the Commonwealth and keeping it easy for them to scavenge because their entire way of life depends on it, but at the same time pretend there's nothing of value on the surface. Many of the more moral members of the Institute are shown to be immensely conflicted about the Institute's espionage operations, but have mostly justified the ever-increasing expenditure of resources for continuing a pointless and destructive bloodbath that could be resolved with both proper diplomacy and the Institute's inhabitants giving up their decadent lifestyle through claiming that the Wastelanders "just don't know any better," and since they're supposedly doomed anyway, they might as ''well'' screw them over in the name of "humanity's future." If this excuse sounds like just another way of saying "SunkCostFallacy," then congratulations, you were paying attention. In short, the Institute's horrible treatment of the Commonwealth is a pretty blatant allegory for modern Western neo-imperialism and the criticisms of it being a suicidally idiotic and selfish exercise in failure. The below conversation between Isaac Karlin and Clayton Holdren -- two of the Institute's ''friendlier'' scientists -- really brings the metaphor home:

* ''VideoGame/Portal2'': After Wheatley takes over the Enrichment Center's mainframe, he makes orgasmic grunts and groans in response to Chell completing his test chambers. He then complains that he isn't really feeling it when the puzzles are solved too quickly and easily. [=GLaDOS=] later explains that the system rewards an A.I. with a euphoric reaction when a test is completed, but that the effect becomes less intense each time, causing withdrawal.
** Wheatley taking over Glados is disturbing as she informs Wheatley that it ''will'' hurt (but doesn't clarify on who it will hurt more), and her screams as she is dragged in by little claws are disturbingly rapey, with Wheatley coming out excited at his new power, and her exhaustion apparent. There are said to be some lines that Creator/StephenMerchant simply refused to read.
** Certain DummiedOut lines [[spoiler:where Caroline protests her BrainUploading into [=GLaDOS=] sound unnervingly like a woman who is about to be raped (there was an UrbanLegendOfZelda going around that Creator/EllenMcLain was actually crying as she recorded them)]].
** '''[=GLaDOS=]:''' "Do not plug that little idiot into MY mainframe!"
* In ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', during Mercer and Greene's second confrontation, they leap at each other, fall to the floor with one atop the other, and Mercer shoves a long needle into Greene's body. (Before she notices, when their faces are mere centimetres apart, Greene is obviously ''smiling'' and Alex bares his teeth.) Said needle contains a mixture of both the genetic material created by Greene's virus and the same material from Mercer's body. Then, Greene ''gives birth'' to the Supreme Hunter. Admittedly by puking it up, but, but still... [[spoiler:To make it exponentially more {{squick}}y, Greene earlier referred to Alex as her ''[[ParentalIncest son]]'', and she's right.]]
