All Men Are Perverts / Video Games

Go To

  • AI: The Somnium Files: Date lives and breathes pervy jokes to the point that almost every action sequence involves speeding up his reflexes by mentioning a porno mag, real or imaginary. At one point, he can mess with a guard, and the only way to get a reaction is to claim there's a porno mag at his feet. On the right side of the story's flowchart, the action sequences involve throwing magazines and women's underwear at mercenaries (to Date's reluctance), and they drop everything to check them out.
  • Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel has Saki's level 3 Cosmosphere, where Saki is forced to perform a strip show in front of every male, and apparently they are drooling all over her. Lampshaded after The Hero rescues her.
  • Henchmen in the Batman: Arkham Series (except TYGER guards and Arkham Knight's militia) always have pervy dialog when talking about the female characters, despite the fact that they will try their best to punch Catwoman and Batgirl to death while making those remarks in combat challenges.
  • From BlazBlue, we have Nine, who seems to make this trope her personal mantra. She has this, sometimes justified, other times irrational, phobia that men are perverts looking to take advantage of her younger sister Celica. It doesn't help that Celica is a Naïve Everygirl who'll trust anyone she meets. This nearly had her frying Bloodedge alive with fire magic when she thought he was trying to make a move on Celica. And him trying to explain the situation to her doesn't seem to change her mind.
  • Most guys in Devil Survivor 2 belong here. Daichi and Joe in particular. The Hero, too, if you play him that way. There's even a part when you can join in a peeping excursion at the girls' medical examinations.
  • The Jemnezmy family of enemies in Final Fantasy VII will use a move that Confuses male party members. Including Vincent. Including Cait Sith. Including Red XIII, who explicitly states that he has no sexual interest in bipeds.
  • Laura's overprotective mother in Gateway II: Homeworld thinks so, despite the girl in question having only met her neighbor Mike within a few days with a simple ride home. Eventually, the mother believes that her only solution to this problem is to kill herself by driving the family car into a telephone pole. Oh, and Mike is who you play as, in case you didn't figure that out by your character's shape.
  • Kreia in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords assumes the player (if male) only accepts Visas and the Handmaiden into the party because he might get to have sex with them. Those dialogue trees have some insanely funny Unusual Euphemisms, including such gems as "charge up her loading ramp."
  • Leisure Suit Larry: In several games, virtually all the males talk about sex constantly. For example, in Love for Sail all the males on the cruise are eagerly competing in the competition to sleep with the ship's captain.
  • One of the first quests in Lunar: Walking School deals with the male students stealing all of the female students' food and laundry. When confronted, the masterminds of the scheme declare that the girls would get too fat if they ate too much, and without extra clothes, they'll have to be totally naked whenever they wash what's left. Glaringly, while the students were going through a Secret Test of Character for their entrance exam, there's no indication that the boys received any punishment from the school staff for their actions. (Magic School Lunar notably completely removes this whole sequence of events.)
  • Metal Gear:
    • Hilariously, you can go through a fair amount of Metal Gear Solid 2 by laying Girly Mags on the floor. The guards almost always stop to look at it. The magazine items continue to appear in subsequent games, but their effectiveness varies.
    • In Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence's now-defunct online mode, only canon gay Raikov is immune to the magazine. In MGS4's online mode, not even female PCs are immune.
    • Women are immune to the magazine in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, making female-guard-filled areas a little more difficult to get through. The "Artist" ability makes male characters immune to magazines. Raikov has this ability, incidentally.
    • In Metal Gear Solid 4 you don't even need the magazine; the Metal Gear Mk2 can decloak and flash some risque images on its LCD screen.
  • Almost all of the residents of Mogeko Castle are explicitly out to 'play' with Yonaka, considering her a 'highly valuable high school girl!' When she meets the first of the special Mogeko, the Slightly Strange Mogeko, it's noted that what makes him slightly strange is his total lack of interest in her.
  • Nathyrra in Neverwinter Nights Hordes of the Underdark is almost completely oblivious to this trope. She has trouble figuring out what you are talking about if you ask her if her expression of concern that you might be disoriented by the Underdark constitutes flirting among the drow.
  • Persona 5: Male party member Ryuji Sakamoto talks your male Protagonist into calling a maid service at the end of May based on a rather questionable flyer. Another male classmate, Yuki Mishima, also barges into your plan after hearing Ryuji.
    Ryuji: Maids! M-A-I-D-S! That will do anything! For! You!! So? ...So!?
  • Specifically the ghosts in The Sexy Brutale, and it's justified since nobody can see or hear them. Most of them seem perverted particularly toward Tequila Belle and Willow Blue. There's a large number of ghosts where Tequila is or would be, such as the music rooms and theater. It's implied that Willow was in the library on Saturday morning, where there's another ghost complaining about the lack of smut. Moreover, one ghost rummages through Willow's room for naughty material and then Willow has to tell him off for trying to feel up Tequila.
  • A common occurrence throughout the Shadow Hearts franchise, starting from Edward visiting a monastery because he heard the new owner "had quite a lot of harlots" in the first game, Koudelka.
  • The narrative itself in Silent Hill 2 doesn't seem to really support this (Eddie, for example, is a man, but isn't implied to have a sexual Otherworld), but Angela tells James that she fully believes all men are only after sex, her view of them having been warped by severe sexual abuse at the hands of her male relatives. James himself also has an extremely sexualized Otherworld, influenced by his frustration at not being able to sleep with his wife during her terminal illness.
  • Referenced briefly in StarCraft when Kerrigan (a telepath) meets Jim Raynor for the first time and promptly calls him a pig for thinking about her in a dirty fashion. In the novels, we learn that female ghosts have to deal with this issue all the time, Raynor is just more straightforward.
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic: If you play all the class stories, you may notice that male PCs tend to have significantly more opportunities for flirtations or Optional Sexual Encounters than female PCs in the same story: one for every two or three planets for males versus one or two per storyline for females, as well as two possible Romance Sidequests each for male Smugglers, Warriors, and Imperial Agents versus one each for their female counterparts. This is dropped after Rise of the Hutt Cartel (which features the first male-male flirtation in the game, for Imperial PCs only): nearly all subsequent new [Flirt] options, starting with Lana Beniko and Theron Shan in the Shadow of Revan storyline, are available to PCs of both sexes no matter the target.
  • Subverted in Tales of the Abyss. During a short skit in the desert, the female members of the party all express a strong desire to shower as soon as they find enough water, and Luke also starts musing to himself, out loud. All the women immediately start berating him, to his genuine confusion... prompting Jade to make an aside to Guy about his luck that they didn't notice Guy was the one actually drooling at the thought of women showering.
