| 11 | * ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'' does this for dramatic effect. Many of the early to mid-game missions deliberately mirror prominent levels from the previous ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies'' -- defending a space research center as it attempts to launch a vital satellite (White Bird Part 1 vs 04's Shattered Skies), defending an unarmed transport plane from enemy forces (Handful of Hope vs 04's Escort), an amphibious assault in a rainstorm to get ground forces into enemy territory (Lit Fuse vs 04's Operation Bunker Shot), and assaulting the final line of defense in a desert on the way to the enemy capital (Desert Arrow/Desert Lightning vs 04's Whiskey Corridor). [[spoiler:Then it takes a hard left into new territory as, at the same point in the story where ''04'' ended and Mobius One was hailed as a hero, the Wardog squadron is ambushed by a mysterious new enemy, branded as traitors by their allies, and forced to desert as they learn of the true enemy behind the war. Congratulations, you've still got a full third of the game to complete.]] |
| 12 | * ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G. II]]'': Satomi's story mode ending mirrors Ken's from ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha SF: Alpha 2]]''. Each faces their old sparring partner as their end boss fight, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9el6TjEYJeM only to find that Yuka]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKG699RzsrE Ryu]] have lost their fighting spirit. So it's up to the rivals to [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan snap their respective bff's out of their slump]] by... how else? With a friendly spar. |
| 13 | * Cream from ''VideoGame/ArteryGearFusion'' produces cream from her body which is secreted outwards by her 'core'. It is described as very sticky and sweet. On top of that, a problem with her gear means her cream keeps leaking out of her... |
| 14 | * ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoMelodyOfElemia'' seems to take every opportunity to put some InnocentInnuendo into Diving, Installing, and pretty much anything involving the main character and one of the three love interests. Just take a look at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoODv8LVib8 this scene.]] |
| 15 | ** ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoIIMelodyOfMetafalica'' takes this quite a bit further, with one love interest accusing another of taking the main character's 'virginity' and other such sequences. [[spoiler:"She can't take a crystal that big!"]]. Also, levelling up the party's Reyvateils requires them to bathe together. |
| 16 | * In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', if you wait instead of throwing a Batarang at Zsasz, he gets [[TheImmodestOrgasm pretty excited]] about killing Dr. Young. |
| 17 | ** And in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', The Joker transfers some of his poisoned blood to Batman via transfusion bag, infecting him with Titan. Considering that people can get HIV/AIDS from other people via transfusion of infected blood (though with extremely low probabilities in developed countries), it's kind of easy to see this in a very... {{squick}}y manner. |
| 18 | * Several examples from ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' include: |
| 19 | ** The relationship between Elizabeth and Songbird mirrors an abusive romantic relationship, which WordOfGod confirms is deliberate. |
| 20 | ** In the {{Backstory}}: A charismatic nineteenth-century man with an impressive beard takes control of a religion which was allegedly inspired by an angelic visitation and takes it to an uncharted territory, leading to tension with the US government. [[UsefulNotes/{{Mormonism}} You figure it out]]. |
| 21 | ** The Vox Populi, meanwhile, seem to take considerable influence from turn-of-the-century Anarchist movements, Communism and even the Occupy Wall Street movement to a degree. |
| 22 | ---> '''Elizabeth:''' It seems the Vox Populi have adopted their favorite color.\ |
| 23 | '''Booker:''' Sounds about right. |
| 24 | ** The whole premise of a man rescuing a girl from a tower that is guarded by a a nightmarish flying beast who functions both as a protector and a jailer is reminiscent of a common FairyTale setup. However, it goes way beyond that; Elizabeth bears more than a passing resemblance to Belle from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and Lady Comstock's glass coffin brings to mind Snow White's coffin. |
| 25 | ** The Lutece machine looks kind of like ovaries. |
| 26 | ** Columbian rhetoric also has a lot of similarities to Nazi Germany: |
| 27 | *** Most obviously, they share white supremacy and the leader principle--Comstock could easily be considered an analogue to Hitler. |
| 28 | *** More subtly, there's a militant ideology encouraging early enlistment, complete with a junior wing of future soldiers known as the Comstock Cadets, (Hitler Youth, anyone?) and singing models of cadets at Soldier's Field are even goosestepping. |
| 29 | *** A Voxophone you can find in the headquarters of the Fraternal Order of the Raven (themselves an obvious proxy for the Ku Klux Klan) has Comstock monologue about the emancipation of African-Americans only freeing them to become lazy and impoverished where they had "honest work" as slaves before, which smacks of Nazi propaganda showing Jews in their "natural habitat" of ghettos, conveniently ignoring that the Nazis forced them to live there in the first place much like the Columbians force the non-white working class to live in Finkton, itself a ghetto. |
| 30 | ** Speaking of African-Americans within the game, one Voxophone recorded by Fink subtly recounts the justification of the African slave trade with religious scripture. The Voxophone recording has Fink recalling a conversation he had with Comstock. Fink tells him that the people who came to populate Columbia expected every menial task to be done for them, for which he suggests to Comstock to get in touch with an overseer in a Georgia prison that would allow him "to lease as many negro convicts" as he wanted. He also tells Comstock, that if any of Columbia's residents question the servants' forced labor, he should justify it by saying they are trying to achieve penance for atempting to rise above their social standing. |
| 31 | * ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' likes to play with this one, so there's more than a few examples. |
| 32 | ** [[MsFanservice Litchi]], in both English and Japanese voice sets, is prone to making some very suggestive noises when you hit her, along with some suggestive dialogue. Get a good combo going and listen to what it sounds like. |
| 33 | ** [[{{Moe}} Noel]] doesn't escape this either. If you have it set to Japanese, go watch Noel's arcade ending in Continuum Shift and try to tell yourself she doesn't sound like she's moaning in delight during her dose of MindRape. |
| 34 | ** Or, go play Ragna's story route in Calamity Trigger and see the way Nu-13 talks to him. Rather than speaking in a robotic CreepyMonotone, she opts for an even creepier {{Yandere}} voice. |
| 35 | ** [[BigBad Hazama]] seemingly [[{{Troll}} mocks]] this trope with his snake-like projectile weapon, Ouroboros. The poses he strikes and where the frickin' thing appears from simply cannot be chalked up as mere coincidence. There's also the fact that one of his sound bytes is "Check out my snake!" ...And then there's, of course, all the innuendo talk in Phase Shift 1, when his ghost merges with his body... Dear '''GOD'''. He also approaches Litchi and offers to "make her forget about [Arakune]", which the overanalytical mind can easily portray as a blatant {{cuckold}} attempt. |
| 36 | ** There's also [[ArchnemesisDad Relius Clover]]. There are several reasons why he's viewed as a MemeticMolester in the fandom. There's his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Hy5yHl4Ew Astral Finish]], where the character is presumably transported to Relius' laboratory and restrained via some rather... personalised and/or sexualised means, then the doors close and you hear the character '''[[ScreamDiscretionShot scream]].''' The whole thing smacks of rape, especially with [[BoundAndGagged Litchi]], [[KneelBeforeZod Jin]], [[ShamefulStrip Noel]] or [[ParentalIncest Carl]] (and by association, Ada/Nirvana). Don't get started on [[MoralEventHorizon what]] [[MindRape he]] [[BreakTheCutie does]] to Makoto during her [[DownerEnding Bad End]][[TearJerker ing]]. [[BrainBleach Seriously]]. Even Kokonoe compares it to rape. |
| 37 | * Combine that with "ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin": In ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'', Lance gets fatally poisoned by an evil MushroomMan in the maze in one death scene. It could fall between these, and ''[[{{Pun}} Mushroom]]'' [[MushroomSamba Samba]]. |
| 38 | * ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'': One (rather infamous) side-quest in Florem 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]]. |
| 39 | * ''VideoGame/BravelySecond'': Another Florem side-quest features a pair of [=NPCs=], one arguing in favor of coeducation between male and female students, while the other argues in favor of separate-but-equal schooling for both genders. |
| 40 | * After the player character first [[FusionDance fuses]] with Meredith of ''VideoGame/CassetteBeasts'', she acts awkward about the whole thing and mentions that it doesn't seem like it was the player character's "first time". |
| 41 | %% * Encyclopedia Obscura [[http://www.encyclopedia-obscura.com/gamessex.html discusses the presence of this trope in various 16-bit games]]. ''VideoGame/ChoAniki'' is mentioned, but it has [[http://www.encyclopedia-obscura.com/gamescho.html its own page]]. |
| 42 | * ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' includes a few of these, but one standout example would be the Barn Boys chapter, where the player needs to help a down-on-his-luck bee meet up with a sunflower lady with enormous... stigmas... so that he can "''pollinate''" her. Then again, what'd you expect, she's a sunflower, he's a bee. |
| 43 | ** Also the [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3f/Conker_-_Live_%26_Reloaded_Coverart.png/250px-Conker_-_Live_%26_Reloaded_Coverart.png cover of the box]] of its remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, Conker sitting in the barrel of the main gun of a tank with a female squirrel touching it and something white in the, smoking, muzzle. |
| 44 | * The primary conflict in the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' is like the debate on the ethics of euthanasia, but applied to an entire ''world''. The Age of Fire, the time when gods rule, [[EndOfAnAge is coming to an end]]. The world is ''dying'', the Lords' power is mostly spent, most people are undead and the First Flame that made the world possible is flickering out. By the end you will have seen the best and worst the world has to offer, and are faced with a choice: [[spoiler:sacrifice yourself on the First Flame to]] keep it lit for a few more centuries to keep the Age of Fire going, or snuff the flame out; put the world out of its misery and embrace the Age of Dark, the end of the world of the gods and perhaps a chance at the world being reborn anew. |
| 45 | * In ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive5'', losing a fight as some of the girls leaves you with an animation of them on the floor, exhausted, half-conscious and panting heavily... almost like they're post-coitus. Perhaps the most blatant offender is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grLl18zmUdI Momiji]]. |
| 46 | %% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8hwJbAHDFs&t=0m20s This]] very unsettling bit from ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2''. |
| 47 | * ''VideoGame/DeepestSword'' draws parallels between slaying a dragon and having sex with a [[BiggerIsBetterInbed size queen]]. At first, your "[[PhallicWeapon sword]]" [[TeenyWeenie isn't long enough]] to reach the dragon's heart, so each level has you trying to navigate the cave with an increasingly lengthy blade, until it's finally [[{{BFS}} big enough]] to penetrate all the way. |
| 48 | * ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'': |
| 49 | ** 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. |
| 50 | --->'''Dante:''' "First I whip it out! Then I thrust it with great force! It penetrates every angle! Until, with great strength, I ram it in! In the end, we are all satisfied." |
| 51 | ** 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. |
| 52 | --->'''Sanctus:''' "Is it not your wish to become one with her?" |
| 53 | * ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': At first glance, the only part of Nico's overall design that seems provocative is her extremely short shorts. However, checking up on her tattoos, there are two mirrored pistols designed on her navel area, with the way they're positioned making it very clear the guns' barrels go down all the way "''downtown''". |
| 54 | * ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2'': A doctor, [[spoiler:Serph Sheffield]], manipulates a two year old girl, [[spoiler:Seraphita, or Sera]], into doing favors for him by acting kindly towards her and promising treats if she does better. She has no idea how much those favors, which require her to be naked, hurt her, and she thinks that she and the doctor love each other. Meanwhile, the doctor's coworker, [[spoiler:Heat O'Brien]], watches the manipulations in disgust. The doctor is using her PsychicPowers for inhumane experiments, not molesting her... hopefully. |
| 55 | * In the Vulcanus epilogue of ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4| A Promise Unforgotten}}'', the game ends with [[spoiler:Valvatorez telling Vulcanus that he still intends to keep his 400-year-old promise to not drink her or anyone else's blood until he shows her true terror. Vulcanus responds that both of them [[YouHaveWaitedLongEnough have waited for too long already]], she has no intention of holding him to that promise, and he can just drink her blood right then and there]]. Considering the [[VampiresAreSexGods usual]] [[KissOfTheVampire associations]] vampire bites come with, as well as the [[http://i.imgur.com/rjCMp.png illustration the scene ends on]], we can think of hundreds of things this scene really represents. [[DontExplainTheJoke And by "hundreds of things," we mean sex.]] |
| 56 | * ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': |
| 57 | ** The archer [[WarriorMonk Sebastian]] attempts to give Varric some pointers about his beloved crossbow, [[ICallItVera Bianca]]. He innocently tells Varric that his shots are veering to the right and maybe Bianca's [[HehHehYouSaidX cocking ring]] is misaligned. Varric immediately responds with outraged jealousy: "You want to touch Bianca's cocking ring?!" Sebastian seems entirely unaware of both how dirty that phrase sounds and how... [[CargoShip close]]... Varric's relationship to Bianca is. |
| 58 | ** A much, ''much'' darker version of the trope: Anders's theory about Sir Ulrich's "[[FantasticRacism Tranquil]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_solution solution]]"--essentially, a state-sponsored [[BodyHorror lobotomy program]]--turns out to be (mostly) correct. |
| 59 | ** Romancing Anders with a male Hawke turns Anders' (and possibly Hawke's) magic into a [[{{Anvilicious}} blunt]] metaphor for homosexuality. |
| 60 | --->'''Anders:''' Ten years from now, a hundred years from now, someone like me will love someone like you, and there will be no Templars to tear them apart. |
| 61 | * When the party first makes it to Greenthumb Gardens in the 3DS version of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'', they find the entire village petrified - and if one looks, they can see two statues who're on top of each other in the garden. When they free the town from the petrifying curse, the townsfolk see the man on top of the woman in the garden and immediately assume the worst. Maribel even even adds more if they use party chat, saying that the woman can lie with whoever she wants in the garden and it's none of the townsfolk's business. |
| 62 | * There are a few eye-rolling examples in Creator/{{Vanillaware}}'s ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'', a game somewhat more infamous for the controversy regarding the designs of its female player characters rather than being famous for being a gorgeous 2D addition to the classic BeatEmUp genre of gaming: |
| 63 | ** The {{Amazon|ianBeauty}}, [[{{Fanservice}} who is purposely animated]] [[MaleGaze to have her ass towards the screen as often as possible]], has a stunned pose where she's basically in the "doggy style" position, her ass still facing the screen. |
| 64 | ** An injured fully-armored female monk is positioned with her legs spread, due to a decapitated {{hellhound}}'s head still melting off the armor on one of her legs. |
| 65 | ** A captured, nude, female spirit can be [[PointAndClick poked to yield information]], like all the other [=NPCs=]. Unlike the others though, she visually reacts, and that's by moving and moaning suggestively, as if she's being groped. She's chained to a wall and [[WhatTheHellPlayer the game will call you out on doing this]]. |
| 66 | * At one point in ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'': Boaris, one of the RidiculouslyCuteCritter friends that inhabit Mary's dream world, [[spoiler: asks for one of your lily petals in exchange for a seed.]] Doesn't sound too bad? Well, [[spoiler: as told by the radio, lily petals represent purity, and even though the seed being offered is not ''that'' kind of seed, Boaris' dialogue is peppered with creepy remarks such as "I know you deserve my seed."]] |
| 67 | * ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': |
| 68 | ** The game takes place in Massachusetts, where most people are simple farmers and settlers constantly struggling against nature to survive in a brutal DeathWorld, and organized society is recently starting to form. Everyone is terrified about their loved ones being replaced with evil copies, even turning on their family members and friends, and many innocent people are getting killed in the crossfire. Taking out the surprising ''lack'' of religious symbolism (relatively speaking), and the Commonwealth's struggle over the identities of Institute [[ArtificialHumans Synths]] can be seen as an analogue to the [[SalemIsWitchCountry Salem Witch Trials]]. |
| 69 | ** [[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 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). 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, [[DoubleThink 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 ruthless espionage operations, but have mostly justified continuing to support an ever-growing pointless bloodbath that could be easily resolved through both proper diplomacy and the Institute's inhabitants giving up their decadent lifestyles through claiming that the Wastelanders [[CondescendingCompassion "just don't know any better,"]] and since they're supposedly doomed anyway as a result of their environment and lifestyles, they might as ''well'' screw them over in the name of "humanity's future." 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: |
| 70 | --->'''Isaac Karlin:''' Have you had time to examine my latest reports on batch two-seven-four?\ |
| 71 | '''Clayton Holdren:''' ''[dismissively]'' Not yet. I've been reviewing Father's plans to expand our operations at Warwick. He's eager to get that going, so I've had to put everything else to one side.\ |
| 72 | '''Isaac Karlin:''' ''[in contemplative tone]'' I ''wonder'' how the Warwick family is doing. Young Wally must be close to ten years old by now. ''[shakes his head, sounding amazed]'' It's remarkable that '''any''' child can survive for so long up there.\ |
| 73 | '''Clayton Holdren:''' ''[awkwardly]'' I... try not to think too much about it. [[BreadAndCircuses We have more than enough to occupy ourselves here.]] [[BelievingTheirOwnLies Those people are the last remnants of a dying past!]] [[BystanderSyndrome It's best not to dwell on the subject]].\ |
| 74 | '''Isaac Karlin:''' ''[disgusted]'' They're still people, and they're ''suffering.'' We can at least admit that it's regrettable! After all, how can we hope to "redefine mankind" if we can't even hold on to our own humanity?\ |
| 75 | '''Clayton Holdren:''' ...Well, [[HardOnSoftScience that's a question best left to our colleagues in the Robotics division]].\ |
| 76 | '''Isaac Karlin:''' ''[lets out a weary sigh]'' [[IgnoredEpiphany Yes, well... I suppose you're right.]] |
| 77 | *** The excuses used by the Institute's members regarding why they shouldn't help Wastelanders are reminiscent of the reasons given by residents of developed Western countries on waiving off supplying foreign aid to developing nations, right down to one Institute scientist outright stating "We shouldn't try to think about it, as it's much too depressing to discuss right now." |
| 78 | *** It's worth noting that it's only through the treatment of Synths as slave labor ''and'' the constant oppression of the Commonwealth (to prevent them from becoming anything more than a useful petri dish and resource-gathering site) that the Institute can maintain its high standard of living. Father's desire to continue maintaining an unstainable status quo because it lets him and his coterie live such an easy life can be seen as a parallel to people either not trying to fix or even ''supporting'' serious problems like GlobalWarming or institutionalized racism because of the sacrifices that '''they'd''' have to personally make to do so along with the fact that they personally benefit from the current situation. |
| 79 | * ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': Andy's ending in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury 2'' involves him relaxing via push-ups while at the same time his ImpliedLoveInterest Mai Shiranui relaxes via reading. They're initially shown as silhouettes through a window and their positions give off the impression that they are having sex. |
| 80 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': In almost all classes, the Summoner class wears a headband with a huge horn on it. In some pictures, the horn is even slightly curved. |
| 81 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': Terra's second flashback, where she remembers Emperor Gestahl speaking to a crowd of soldiers clad in all brown about being the "chosen ones" meant to rule the world, while everyone sticks up their right hand in salute... For extra measure, the three generals behind him (Kefka, Leo and Celes) are all blonde. |
| 82 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': The names of [[MsFanservice Tifa's]] {{Limit Break}}s are highly suggestive. "Beat Rush", "Meteordrive", "Dolphin Blow" and [[TheImmodestOrgasm "Final Heaven"]]. The [[WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged abridged series by Team Four Star]] played this for laughs. |
| 83 | *** 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 way Cloud's experiences resemble a [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape victim]] and needed therapy to recover. |
| 84 | *** There's even a scene in Gongaga where Cloud's lying on a bed, clearly severely traumatized, 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 center of a pink, pulsating, ring-shaped structure, and penetrating it to give him the Black Materia. |
| 85 | *** Several plot points from ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' directly parallel events in ''Final Fantasy VII''. |
| 86 | *** In ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake Remake]]'' has Madam M's "massages." We see enough to know she ''is'' massaging Cloud's hands, but the atmosphere, the way she talks, Cloud's reactions to what she's doing, and the camera angles which conceal exactly where her hands are, all scream "this is a stand-in for [[HappyEndingMassage another kind of massage]] that we can't depict." After the massage is over, Aerith serves as the temporary playable character because [[PostCoitalCollapse Cloud is exhausted from the massage]]. |
| 87 | *** In ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth Rebirth]]'', [[https://youtu.be/rrGQFGPtwBI Aerith's Cosmo Canyon]] speech about how she has suffered all her life simply for being born different [[note]](born an ancient)[[/note]] has obvious parallells in the treatment of LGBT+ folks, and many of the expriences they may have in life. |
| 88 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': |
| 89 | *** 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. |
| 90 | *** The Ronso take great pride in their horns. "Hornless" is one of the biggest insults they have. |
| 91 | *** 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. |
| 92 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'': |
| 93 | *** 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. |
| 94 | *** Is Vanille having TheImmodestOrgasm on her Eidolon? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbpoizR5Zp8&t=84s Judge for yourself.]] Or not... they even cuddle at the end. And on a lesser note, considering the noises she makes throughout the game, it can ''sound'' like Vanille might constantly be having one. |
| 95 | *** Fang and Vanille's gasps together during [[spoiler:their saving of Cocoon.]] |
| 96 | *** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'', when walking around talking to [=NPCs=] in Academia 4XX AF, one little girl will say "Ah! You're a scary adult! [[PaedoHunt Scary adults shouldn't talk to kids they don't know]]!" |
| 97 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': |
| 98 | *** 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. |
| 99 | *** Emet-Selch gives a speech to the player in which he says "Moral relativism and all that. Case in point - I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you" to explain the BlueAndOrangeMorality between you and the Ascians. This can ''easily'' fit into [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide genocide denial]], given that [[spoiler: he was behind ''multiple'' genocides and even helped ''create'' TheEmpire that ''wants'' to commit genocides.]] |
| 100 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'': |
| 101 | *** The ''entire'' plot is, essentially, [[spoiler:the Pharisee theory regarding UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}]] lying at the center of the DarkSecret guarded by the CorruptChurch. |
| 102 | *** The War of the Lions can also be seen as a parallel to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses War of the Roses]]. |
| 103 | ** The game: ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Dramatis personae: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], older {{Bishounen}} ManipulativeBastard famous for the gargantuan amount of subtext between himself and his [[TheHero opposite number Cloud]] from [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover his original game]]--oh, and for [[DressedLikeADominatrix 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. [[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. |
| 104 | *** [[TheImmodestOrgasm "IT'S FILLING ME UP!!!"]] |
| 105 | *** "That was titillating!" |
| 106 | *** After [[spoiler:Vaan managed to make off with Terra]], Kefka states [[ParentalNeglect "After all, she always comes running straight back into my arms anyway. What do I care!"]] |
| 107 | *** Similarly, when [[spoiler:Kefka proceeds to use ElectricTorture on Terra for her refusing to obey his commands to destroy things]], Kefka remarks [[DomesticAbuse "Sorry, babe. I only hurt you because you make me!"]] |
| 108 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWSy7gHccqI That's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4rxJ9mfk_M totally]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozAjuxRKo1k&feature=relmfu what she said!]] |
| 109 | * From ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 110 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', a phrase included [[spoiler: Nergal]]'s VERY cruel TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler: Ninian]] that ultimately [[spoiler: makes her revert to her Dragon form]] sounds a LOT like a MemeticMolester taunting his/her victim: |
| 111 | -->"My dear, I am not looking for your consent. You are weak, and I am strong. You will bend before me." |
| 112 | ** A similarly charged conversation can occur in a DLC chapter of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', specifically Rogues & Redeemers 2. In that chapter, your NPC allies are villains from previous games, and unlike every other time that Einherjar from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' have appeared, Gharnef recognizes Tiki if you have her talk to him. Almost every line out of ''both'' of their mouths makes it sound as if Gharnef raped her as a child, and it makes the one line that directly references what he did to her in-game sound all the more horrifying. |
| 113 | --->'''Tiki:''' What? Gharnef...\ |
| 114 | '''Gharnef:''' Oh my. Look how you have grown. Heh heh...\ |
| 115 | '''Tiki:''' You stay away from me!\ |
| 116 | '''Gharnef:''' How cold... That's no way to treat an old friend after all these years.\ |
| 117 | '''Tiki:''' You're no friend of mine. I remember how you hypnotized me—the terrible things you made me do!\ |
| 118 | '''Gharnef:''' As do I...as do I. But here we are, teammates. We must work together. Or will you jeopardize the entire battle over some timeworn grudge?\ |
| 119 | '''Tiki:''' I'll fight with you because my army demands it. But don't expect me to even pretend to trust you, you monster.\ |
| 120 | '''Gharnef:''' Heh. As you wish. There will be ample time to...win you over later. |
| 121 | ** Also from ''Awakening'' is the history of Ylisse: In the not-too-distant past, Ylisse began a war that led the country to the brink of ruin. Afterwards, Ylisse replaced its full-scale military with a smaller force meant solely to protect the country, complete with a new name to reflect the fact. When another war does break out, Ylisse is forced to rely on assistance from a larger, more militant ally. In other words, much like the history of Japan since the second World War. |
| 122 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' has this conversation between Hawk King Tibarn and Wolf Queen Nailah if they battle... but it doesn't sound at all like what they're doing is fighting... |
| 123 | -->'''Nailah''': ...I must confess, I've wanted this since I first laid eyes on you. I can hardly hold myself back right now.\ |
| 124 | '''Tibarn''': Lady, the feeling is mutual. Why do you think I winged my way over here? It looks to me like we can have a ** nice, private time right here. No interruptions. Just you and me.\ |
| 125 | '''Nailah''': Hawk King Tibarn. I think that a few more scars on your face will complete that rugged look you're going for.\ |
| 126 | '''Tibarn''': For a beautiful woman like you, I'll gladly offer my head. Of course you'll have to bring me down to the ground first.\ |
| 127 | '''Nailah''': Challenge accepted. I think you'll regret it once I add your feathers to my necklace, though. Oh, and let's ** not tell Rafiel about this, agreed? He wouldn't understand these urges of ours. |
| 128 | * ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' has [[TheVamp vampy villain]] [[MsFanservice Chalis]] telling the heroes about where they can find the MacGuffin they're looking for... with a rather blatant [[MaleGaze bust shot]] and the line, "Ah, so have I enticed you?" |
| 129 | ** ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' had an NPC character [[ForcedTransformation forcfully transformed]] into a tree and knocked into the river. If you pulled her out of the river before having the curse lifted, she offers Isaac a personal thank-you resulting in this immortal DoubleEntendre: |
| 130 | ---> Jill gave Isaac a nice surprise! Isaac got a [[RareCandy Hard Nut]]! |
| 131 | * Non-sexual example: in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', players can explore the site of a magical explosion which has heavy nuclear fallout parallels, complete with hazmat suits and people dropping dead from radiation poisoning. |
| 132 | * ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory'': |
| 133 | ** All of Iris Heart's scenes, befitting for her {{Dominatrix}} motif, resemble that of BDSM, from her innuendos to the way she tortures her opponents. Downplayed as it's only a borderline example, since said scenes are pretty much ''exactly'' what they remind you of. Iris Heart just never gets a chance to... finish. |
| 134 | ** One noteworthy example would be in Chapter 3. Noire complains so much about Lowee until [[BewareTheNiceOnes Plutia]] -- who up until that point was relatively sedate -- gets fed up, transforms into Iris Heart and teaches her a lesson, resulting in the latter breaking Noire. This continues even in the Basilicom, where Noire still sounds like a BrokenRecord, while Plutia is rather... satisfied. |
| 135 | -->'''Plutia:''' Ehehe. I gave Noire some good service... Yummmmm! I'm so full now! |
| 136 | * ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'': |
| 137 | ** The Shimmer is a respiratory disease to which some individuals are more vulnerable than others, being eventually fatal in one case if isn't cured in time. Before the cure is found, the best protection against it is a respirator that many people just plain don't use because of reduced comfort. Those aspects of it make it evocative of COVID-19. |
| 138 | ** One of the essential materials of holopalms can't be nanoprinted and only so many spares were brought on the ship. Because of this, the colonists will need to start mining to keep holopalms in their lives, even if they are against mining on paper. Holopalms are the setting's equivalent of smartphones and other personal electronic devices that are frequently used by otherwise very environmental-minded people out of necessity despite being very environmentally damaging by several aspects. |
| 139 | * In ''VideoGame/JediKnightJediAcademy'', one of the stock taunts from the Sith cultists is [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar "The Sith will rise again!"]] Now, remember the episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' where Joey gives his rendition of a slightly more famous line: "De South will rise again, mon!" |
| 140 | * ''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 and a chance to prove herself, 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. |
| 141 | * ''VideoGame/JimmyAndThePulsatingMass'': The titular Pulsating Mass is TheVirus, an all-consuming blob of flesh that is capable of corrupting people with itself. It's been around since the beginning of time and there's nothing that can put it down. [[spoiler:In other words, it represents the cancer that is killing Jimmy in real life.]] |
| 142 | * ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'': The relationship between the three characters is certainly... ''[[ThreesomeSubtext interesting]]'', to say the least. While the "trinity" motif of the series has been around since Day One, this game, in particular, has the three heroes constantly demonstrating their faith and friendship with the others. Overall, the dynamic between the trio seems more like a family slowly crumbling, rather than some friends having their friendship challenged. In the Japanese version of the game, when Ventus gives Terra and Aqua their passes to Disney Town, it was because he was told to "bring his parents" ... yeah. |
| 143 | * One possible adventure in the "South of the Border" area in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' features your character walking into a drug store and encountering a doctor who gives them some Meleegra[[TradeSnark â„¢]] pills, which will allegedly increase the size of your weapon. While ItMakesSenseInContext, the encounter plays out like someone hawking penis enlargement pills. |
| 144 | * ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': |
| 145 | ** Ash Crimson stealing Chizuru Kagura's Yata Mirror in ''2003'' has him overpower her, shove his hand into her breasts, and then leave her utterly exhausted as he takes what he wants. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Nope, no rape parallels to be found here, no sir]]... |
| 146 | ** Not to be outdone, he also has a move in ''XII'' in which he grabs his opponent's head, forces it down to his waistline, then blasts it with a burst of fiery energy. |
| 147 | * Rose's special attacks in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' are suggestive of some... shall we say, less than wholesome sexual philias, particularly the one that has her flying above the party, penetrating the enemy with her sword to draw energy from it, and then releasing said energy from her backside in a thin stream that pools around her teammates, and the one where blobs of dark energy drip from between her legs and create a pillar of darkness, which then splits her in half at the crotch (which is pointed directly at the camera). [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight No one ever seems to comment on it.]] |
| 148 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 149 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': Of the non-sexual variety. The entire final boss fight, particularly against Majora's Incarnation, has the distinct feeling of having to discipline a disobedient child, particularly when the Incarnation falls over and thrashes about like a child throwing a tantrum. |
| 150 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' has a cutscene where Link is watching Tetra and her pirates discuss burning and looting an island to find "the treasure" there. Tetra doesn't seem too happy (it's Link's home island). But when one of the pirates remarks in shock that she doesn't seem to want the loot, she replies with a jaunty smirk: |
| 151 | --->'''Tetra:''' Don't be stupid. Of course I want... ''[looks at where Link is hiding]'' ...''the treasure''. |
| 152 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'': Let's not forget this little gem Zelda say when she gets hit by a Deku Shrub on the way to the festival: |
| 153 | --->'''Zelda:''' We need something to defend against ''those nuts of his''. |
| 154 | * In ''VideoGame/LunnaAstrayInStardewValley'', Bianka's 6 heart event has her telling her mother that she doesn't want to become a sorceress, [[IJustWantToBeNormal that having magic has never made her happy in her life]], and that she wants to undergo a ritual that would remove her magic, coupled with her mother's shocked reaction to it, sounds very similar to a child coming out as transgender to their parents. |
| 155 | --->'''Bianka:''' I'm just so sad and tired about who I am, Raphael... I don't want to feel suppressed anymore... Everything about this magic life... I'd just cry every night, I always try to think that this is just a phase or something but no... I sincerely don't want to suppress my feelings and myself... I want to be able to live my own life, have my own choices, live my dreams... I've been obediently following Mom for as long as I can remember... But I'm tired now, Raph... I'm so tired... I want to do what I want to do... |
| 156 | * ''VideoGame/MarioParty'': |
| 157 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioParty1'': The [[http://www.mariowiki.com/Grab_Bag Grab]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-HBQpW41EA Bag]] minigame, wherein the contestants pounce on one another from behind in order to extract the coins in the sacks on their backs, and anyone who is grabbed can ButtonMash frantically to shake their attackers off. |
| 158 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioParty8'': |
| 159 | *** When you pair Birdo and Dry Bones together, their team is called the "Bone Chokers". |
| 160 | *** There's a minigame where you must shake the Wii Remote up and down to shake up a soda can in order to make it build up enough pressure and shoot out like a geyser. No-one can say nothing dirty came to their minds the first time they played that at all. |
| 161 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': |
| 162 | ** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', EDI's appearance (especially while talking) resembles something that Georgia O'Keefe would draw. This gets lampshaded by Specialist Traynor in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s Citadel DLC. |
| 163 | --->'''Joker:''' I think you had a better shot when she still looked like a giant chess piece, Traynor.\ |
| 164 | '''Traynor:''' I wouldn't have said "chess piece", precisely. |
| 165 | ** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orU-2yL_9W4 watch the Crucible docking with the Citadel.]] The opening arms of the Citadel look not unlike, shall we say, a flower blooming. The Crucible, meanwhile, is shaped like a rod with a knob at the end. |
| 166 | * ''VideoGame/MasterOfTheMonsterLair'': Shovel ''really'' likes it when Owen rubs him with olive oil. |
| 167 | * In the first ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie cyborg ninja]] Gray Fox, during his boss fight against his old best friend Solid Snake, starts crowing things like "''that's good, Snake!''" and "''hurt me more! More! More!''" As the player continues to attack him, he starts to have difficulty standing, and his cries increase in intensity and frequency, until his life bar is finally emptied, at which point he makes a sound halfway between a sigh and a scream and trembles on the floor, half-sobbing, half-laughing, violently discharging electricity. ''[[{{Squick}} Ick]]''. |
| 168 | ** Also, from this same fight, "Make me feel it! Make me feel alive again!" |
| 169 | *** They managed to sneak that into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros.'' too. However, since he says it the moment he is summoned, the context is more "Give me a good fight!" rather than "Keep hitting me! I love it!" |
| 170 | ** This was lampshaded in ''[[WebAnimation/AwesomeSeries Metal Gear Awesome]]''. |
| 171 | --->'''Ninja''': Snake! Hurt me! A lot! ''Please!''\ |
| 172 | '''Snake''': What?\ |
| 173 | '''Ninja''': More, Snake! Hurt me ''more'', dawg!\ |
| 174 | '''Snake''': Whoa, holy shit.\ |
| 175 | \ |
| 176 | '''Naomi''': He was an experiment-\ |
| 177 | '''Snake''': '''''IN WHAT, S&M OR SOMETHING?!''''' |
| 178 | ** ''MGS'' also managed to make a fourth-wall breaking conversation about the player not using a stereo TV sound like a conversation about Snake having a small penis. "Don't be jealous, it's how you use it. There's more to being a good person than owning one, after all." |
| 179 | ** In ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 3|SnakeEater}}'' Ocelot calls out during the battle with Big Boss while reloading: |
| 180 | --->"I've never felt so ''alive''!"\ |
| 181 | "I've never felt a tension like this before! That's so different from simply changing a clip!"\ |
| 182 | "This reload time is exhilarating!" |
| 183 | ** That one's continued from his first appearance in [=MGS1=], where he announces that "there's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber" every time he hides to reload, and then once he's finished tells you "I'm alive again!" |
| 184 | ** With both Snake and Ocelot making such a huge fuss about their pistols, this one is surprisingly easy to miss: The Boss, probably the strongest woman in the world and [[TeamMom the superior of both of the younger men]], usually reacts to them stepping out of line by [[YouAreGrounded taking away their pistols, giving them a stern talk, and handing them back the broken pieces of their guns, which makes them feel very embarrassed]]. |
| 185 | ** In ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4|GunsOfThePatriots}}'', Snake confronts Ocelot beside a river. Ocelot soon gets the upper hand in the fight, and starts talking about how he's using Snake for his plan while grappling Snake from behind ambiguously. Snake struggles, but it's futile, and he eventually can do nothing but scream in pain. It's clearly designed to look like a rape, even before Ocelot [[HoYay starts trying to kiss him]]. |
| 186 | *** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R61cCBUWNQM fight between Raiden and Vamp in South America]] just defies description for the unbelievable amount of symbolism and is more explicit than many actual sex scenes. |
| 187 | ** The infamous dowsing scene in ''VideoGame/MetalGearAcid2''. Venus, to Snake's disgust, decides to try finding the opening to a sewer by dowsing for it, leading to the pair working their way further back through a large, dark building. While she starts off referring quite clearly to the act of dowsing, as she gets closer and closer to the goal she becomes more... passionate, gasping in surprise and pleasure and demanding Snake go in further, further, she can feel it, Snake's so near the spot, come on, more, go deeper in, deeper in, hurry, she's never felt it this strong, she's nearly there... By the time they actually reach the sewer entrance she's practically rolling around on the floor in orgasm. It's probably the only time a scene about ''dowsing'' actually raised anything's UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications. |
| 188 | ** The hidden scene in the cave between Eva and Snake in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', which can only be described as erotic pro-wrestling directed by ''Film/CarryOn''. God help us. |
| 189 | * 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.]] |
| 190 | * ''VisualNovel/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. |
| 191 | * ''VideoGame/MouthSweet'' opens with the player selecting a colorful avatar, only to be told that their appearance doesn't fit their employer's culture and be forcibly reassigned a monochrome character. The [[HelloInsertNameHere name you provide]] is rejected, with your faceless employer [[MaliciousMisnaming insisting on calling you either 'Haas' or 'Alice']]. In addition to embodying the dehumanizing aspects of corporate culture, this also hearkens to the sort of challenges many under the LGBTQ umbrella face. Particularly emphasized by the interviewer stressing that Haas/Alice is your 'REAL, LEGAL name', and claiming that [[BlatantLies it's only for the records and that they're respect your choice]]... before promptly calling you Haas/Alice again. |
| 192 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyMqS99jXNQ opening video]] of the Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 video game (remade from the anime but with the video game graphics) Sakura is shown after [[spoiler: the Leaf Village got nuked]] calling out for Naruto to hurry up and arrive. In the anime version, she's right about at the center of the screen. In the video game version, [[spoiler: it looks like she's having sex with someone just below the screen. Especially with the sound off.]] Press 6 once on the page to see. |
| 193 | * In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', Travis recharges his beam sword by, well, pumping it up and down in front of his crotch and breathing heavily. The faster you shake the Wii Remote, the faster you ... uh ... finish. The sequel ramps up the innuendo with Travis shouting "Faster! Faster! Oh yeah!" and his panting sounding even more sexual. The [=PS3=] UpdatedRerelease makes it even worse -- in the original game you could just sort of shake the Wii Remote in whatever manner you wanted and that'd be good enough for the game. Here, the controller won't properly register your movements unless you literally jack off with it. |
| 194 | * ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' |
| 195 | ** At the start of the game, while [[TheTease Sylvia]] is coyly discussing with Travis about her [[SexGoddess sexual prowess]] and her [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility yoga techniques]], and she ends it by kissing the tip of his Beam Katana (which he is holding at about crotch level, by the by) and it [[SomethingElseAlsoRises extends instantly]]. |
| 196 | ** One of the new Beam Katanas you can buy is the "Peony": not only does it charge up in the usual way, but the thing [[{{BFS}} extends]] as his ''Ecstacy'' meter goes up. |
| 197 | ** Not to be outdone, Shinobu "recharges" her katana by... stroking it. Sure, she's actually ''sharpening'' it, but still... |
| 198 | * ''VideoGame/Persona3'': |
| 199 | ** The main characters use things called "evokers" to summon spirits. These "evokers" are shaped and look just like handguns, imagery only made even more clear with the activation of such devices being done so by [[SuicideIsPainless shooting oneself in the head, often wearing a big smile or look of confidence on their face.]] |
| 200 | ** 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. |
| 201 | ** Persona users rarely ever smile, especially when summoning for the first time considering how painful or awkward it is. The Protagonist is a special case in many ways, especially when you consider that the creepy-as-hell expression on his face looks ''very'' similar to that of [[spoiler:the Nyx Avatar]], who is, of course, [[spoiler:a form of Ryoji, who is Death, who manifests as Thanatos in that cutscene]]. |
| 202 | ** Because we need at least ''one'' sex example here, the final social link event for [[RobotGirl Aigis]] in ''[[UpdatedRerelease FES]]'' doesn't even try to be subtle about what [[spoiler:touching her Papillon Heart]] is supposed to [[OptionalSexualEncounter stand in for]]. For bonus points, the fact that she disables her arms and legs beforehand adds an additional, probably [[{{Squick}} unintentionally creepy dimension]] to the encounter. |
| 203 | --->'''Aigis:''' [[spoiler:Since you'll be coming in direct contact with my heart, I... I apologize in advance if I say something odd, or make unusual noises...]] |
| 204 | ** The special function given to Aigis and her 'sisters' makes them move twice as fast, do more damage, and leaves them overheated and immobile afterwards, and is called ''[[TheImmodestOrgasm Orgia]] Mode''. (That might seem like a bit of a stretch, but with a guy like [[PungeonMaster Ikutsuki]] on the team, you can never be too sure.) |
| 205 | *** The ''Orgia Mode'' can cause unintentional [[http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=orgia surprised looks]] on Spanish player's faces. (The game was never translated to Spanish, it was released as is). |
| 206 | ** Several of the Persona designs have this in play, but it's difficult to see the Tower Arcana Persona called Mara as anything but ''a penis on wheels''. If you have this Persona as your main when you visit the Velvet Room, Elizabeth even seems to comment on how ''masculine'' it seems... Theodore, on the other hand, does not approve, protesting that it isn't ladylike. |
| 207 | ** The command console recording of Fuuka and her vibrating waist slimmer. Mitsuru comes by her room, wanting to have a word with her, but changes her mind after hearing the vibrations and Fuuka's high-pitched voice from the other side of the door. |
| 208 | --->'''Fuuka:''' Yes! I'm, I'm, cooooming now! |
| 209 | * ''VideoGame/Persona4'': Lampshaded (along with a lot of other stuff) in ''Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}}''. |
| 210 | ** A famous spying-on-Kanji scene has Yosuke standing over Chie as she crouches on her hands and knees. |
| 211 | ** Yosuke says this to the PlayerCharacter [[spoiler:(after Izanami no Okami uses Thousand Curses)]] while he is lying on the floor and feeling exhausted: "Everything inside me changed after I met you. I'm glad we met. I wouldn't have made it this far if I hadn't done it alongside you..." |
| 212 | ** Another example with Yosuke and the MC, when both of them are lying on the ground and feeling exhausted: "That sure beat words." |
| 213 | * ''VideoGame/Persona5'': When your MissionControl, Futaba, first awakens to her FlyingSaucer / EldritchAbomination styled GuardianEntity, it produces tentacles that wrap all around her body and pull her into its body. And then there's [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/2/26/P5S_Futaba_Necronomicon.png/revision/latest?cb=20200207095018 this]] character art from ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers''... |
| 214 | ** A Mara boss in Kamoshida’s Palace is strong against literally everything except for physical attacks. In other words, you have to beat the meat to defeat it. |
| 215 | ** When Shadow Kamoshida goes berserk and begins turning into Asmodeus, a clear viscous substance starts dripping onto the floor when the camera is pointed towards the Phantom Thieves. It turns out to be drool. |
| 216 | ** After [[TheCutie Haru]] using her gun (which is a freaking grenade launcher!), she may randomly say "that felt good!". |
| 217 | ** In ''[[UpdatedRerelease Royal]]'', [[spoiler:after the world falls into Maruki's reality, Akechi is one of the first people to realize it's fake due to him being unable to believe that anything good could ever happen to him, and vigorously pushes Joker to reject the dream world despite knowing he would likely disappear. Even if the player chooses the dialogue option accusing Akechi of oversimplifying, he will dismiss the issue and continue to advocate for the dream world's destruction. Altogether, this heavily resembles suicidal ideation.]] |
| 218 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 219 | ** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' features the Pokémon Basculin, which is labeled the "Hostile" Pokémon and comes in two varieties, one with a red stripe and one with a blue stripe. According to the Pokédex, the two varieties get along so poorly that they generally start fighting with one another on sight. Hmm...[[GangBangers two hostile groups that are bitter rivals]] and are [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color coded]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloods red]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crips blue]], huh? |
| 220 | ** Beartic and Reshiram have rather prominent tufts of fur protruding from between their legs. Even more hilarious with the latter, as despite being officially genderless, it's meant to look ''feminine''. |
| 221 | ** A [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics female]] Venusaur has a seed in its flower/tree. No pregnancy allusions there, none at all... |
| 222 | ** Stunky and Skuntank are skunk Pokémon well known for their smelly attacks. Guess what body part their faces resemble, and what bodily noise their cries sound like? |
| 223 | * ''VideoGame/Portal2'': |
| 224 | ** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9wv4DXC2N8&t=2m38s comments]] Wheatley makes while watching [[spoiler:you and [=GLaDOS=] get through the tests]] makes it sound like he's enjoying it [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin a bit too much]]. [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]] confirms it, stating that the system gives the AI a euphoric response for concluding every test, that gets smaller as you gets used to it, and [[spoiler:Wheatley doesn't have the intellectual capacity to overcome its withdrawal symptoms.]] To drive the point home, that chapter ("The Itch") is titled "Addiction" in the French version. |
| 225 | ** [=GLaDOS=] sounds awfully ''excited'' at the end of the co-op campaign. |
| 226 | ** When you hear Cave Johnson's lemon speech, [=GLaDOS=] sounds... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_GEph9Aq2s very enthusiastic about it.]] |
| 227 | --->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' [[AC:Yeah! Yeah! TAKE the lemons!]] |
| 228 | ** When you defeat [=GLaDOS=] [[spoiler:and forcibly replace her with Wheatley]], the repeated, pained "No!"s from the hidden chamber make it sound like something very, very wrong is being carried out down there. |
| 229 | ** [[spoiler:Wheatley's]] VillainousBreakdown in the final fight sounds more than a little like a jilted lover's angry break-up with their significant other. |
| 230 | * 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.]] |
| 231 | * ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'': |
| 232 | ** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''. Nemesis's ever so memorable preferred method of executing S.T.A.R.S. is holding them still and then... impaling them in the mouth. Mm-hm. |
| 233 | ** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'': |
| 234 | *** Excella trying to seduce Wesker, with her touching him and telling him that she "has her eyes set on something much... bigger." Her eyes look down a bit too low on his body, and she eventually starts moving her hands from his chest to his... lower area. Nope, no {{Double Entendre}}s there. |
| 235 | *** The final battle between Wesker, Chris, and Sheva (though Wesker tends to ignore her). Wesker ends up {{shirtless|Scene}}, sweaty, and in tight black leather pants. He grows a bunch of tentacles, and constantly tries to grab hold of Chris with them, in what looks ''way'' too much like tentacle rape. |
| 236 | * Probably unintentional, but depending on how you look at it, ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}'''s signature attack can look a little bit like a KissOfDeath, or possibly even like something a bit more... intimate. |
| 237 | * ''VideoGame/RumbleRoses'' had a number of suggestive wrestling moves but none more than youngster Black Belt Demon's "Windmill" humiliation move. From a standing position, she spreads the other girl's legs wide apart and then gets between their legs, before thrusting her hips hard and repeatedly into the opponent's crotch. In the sequel game, the Windmill had been replaced with far less risqué "Wild Courtesan's Dance". |
| 238 | * In the MMORPG, ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', there's a conversation between the PlayerCharacter and some penguins (LongStory) about the PC being human, as opposed to being a penguin, that makes it seem like the PC is admitting to being gay. |
| 239 | -->'''PC''': I better get into the penguin suit before I talk to them...\ |
| 240 | '''Pong''': Uh, actually, dude, it's okay. We've known for a while now.\ |
| 241 | '''Ping:''' Yeah, man. We were kinda hoping you'd learn to accept yourself as you are and feel comfortable telling us. There's nothing to be ashamed of, nothing wrong with being human.\ |
| 242 | '''PC''': You knew!? How? Why didn't you say anything?\ |
| 243 | '''Pong''': Dude, it was something you needed to realize for yourself! We didn't want to rush you. [[TransparentCloset It was pretty obvious, though. I mean, you just had these vibes...]]\ |
| 244 | '''Ping:''' But we don't care, man. You're still our best bud! I bet your aura feels totally cleansed now that you've got that off your chest.\ |
| 245 | '''PC''': Yeah, I actually do feel better. |
| 246 | * The plight of Sahori Itsukishima in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'' can easily strike close to home. Constant bullying is nothing new to gaming, but the unrelenting and inescapable nature of it - the adults either don't know at best or don't care at worst, other sympathetic students like Tao are at a loss on how to get the bullies to up and stop, and the bullies even go further with their abuse when she asks them to stop - leave her utterly desperate to the point that she wants someone, ''anyone'' to make it stop. And eventually, she snaps and goes berserk on everyone around, the bullies her primary targets, and they are confirmed dead when she is done. The only way this could have been more realistic is if Lahmu was a black market arms dealer instead of a fallen Babylonian god. |
| 247 | * ''Franchise/SilentHill''. In a series where [[FauxSymbolism symbolism is everywhere]] and Freud was a genius, everything inevitably resembles something. Perhaps the most obvious is a scene near the end of [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 the second game]], in which Maria is strapped to a rack and Pyramid Head stabs her from behind with his enormous, um, spear. Maria's expression is positively orgasmic. Pyramid Head in general is a hulking man-monster that wears nothing but a long robe, carries around a {{BFS}} so huge he has to drag it behind him and alternates his time between raping incredibly feminine monsters to death and hunting a skittish, sexually insecure man with women issues. Not at all surprising that he has also become a legendary MemeticMolester. |
| 248 | * The University expansion pack for the PC version of ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' introduced new objects such as a bubble blower and a juice keg. Although the bubble blower does make actual bubbles, the fact that it's shaped exactly like a hookah and that it literally makes your Sims float in the air when they use it makes it pretty obvious what the creators had in mind. As for the juice keg... that one speaks for itself. |
| 249 | ** It's made more obvious by the fact that in the catalog, it's named the "White Rabbit Bubble Blower". Subtle, [=EAxis=], subtle. |
| 250 | * There's a scene in ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'' where Gillian ends up looking shocked with fluid dripping down his face after seeing an underage girl naked. |
| 251 | * At the end of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic and Shadow use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to transform into their super forms. The hand motions the two characters make to focus their power before their transformation look ''very'' similar to masturbation. |
| 252 | * ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': |
| 253 | ** Raphael has a move where he forces the opponent to kneel while absorbing their energy. In Soulcalibur 2 and 3 in particular, the opponent is in right in front of him. Talim (the shortest character) ends up with her head just in the right place during the move. They finally "{{nerf}}ed" it from Soulcalibur 4 and onward with the opponent on his right side rather than in front of him. |
| 254 | ** In ''Soulcalibur V'', the protagonist's sister Pyrrha is framed for murder and consequently attacked by a mob of townspeople- townspeople who, just a day ago, fully believed she was part of their community. Also, the protagonist himself, Patroklos, considers it his "holy" duty to slaughter anyone he even ''suspects'' of being 'malfested', regardless of their pleas or proof to the contrary. [[BurnTheWitch Oh, and all of this takes place in medieval times.]] |
| 255 | -->'''Patroklos''': "They're not even human! They're demons who have sold their souls to the Devil!" |
| 256 | * ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'': After the destruction of the Braithwaite Bridge, Roxxon's security forces hold Miles at gunpoint and attempt to detain him in spite of the fact that he saved people's lives, one guard even going so far as to smack a bystander's phone out of her hand when she starts recording the encounter. Later on, [[spoiler: after Krieger captures Miles and Phin to get the location of the stolen Nuform from them,]] one of the guards present smugly points out there's no cameras around before he and his partner start beating Miles with their electrified batons. The parallels to police brutality couldn't be any more obvious. |
| 257 | * ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': |
| 258 | ** M. Bison's neutral standing animation in the original games. [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/b/b0/Bison-snk-stand.gif Made even worse in SNK vs. Capcom.]] |
| 259 | ** For Urien, a lot of his win quotes in ''3rd Strike'' are... rather suggestive. |
| 260 | --->"Pounding on you is satisfying, but I need something more..."\ |
| 261 | "Your inferior vital fluids are tainting the ground! Clean it up!"\ |
| 262 | "Lie there as long as you want. I've had my fun with you."\ |
| 263 | "That's right... kneel before me! How do you like the view now?!" |
| 264 | * The [[Anime/CrossAnge World of Mana's persecution of Norma]] is already akin to Nazi Germany and the concentration/death camps. But their interaction with the AD world in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' relates to particular "rogue states" such as North Korea and Iran. They're tyrannical to the point their bad PR makes them isolationist. Yet, they're recognized as members of certain international groups and possess a large army, if not equipped with horribly outdated weapons. Internally, they sponsor terrorism with anti-Norma sentiment (See the [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Martian Successors]] and [[Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine the Asian Mafia]] for example) and possess or attempt to possess Weapons of Mass Destruction to annihilate their enemies (The Dawn Pillar and Ragna-mails). Moreover, they're run by egotists with a delusional populace brainwashed by propaganda and a ShadowDictator watching over them. |
| 265 | * In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games where Mr. Game & Watch is a playable character, his neutral A attack consists of him spraying his opponent with an insecticide sprayer. Unfortunately, said sprayer is shaped vaguely like a penis and he holds it a groin level. Even more unfortunately, when he attacks the sprayer is being pumped with great vigor and a cloud of "insecticide" is spurting from the tip. |
| 266 | ** This is spoofed in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG87lzfRBEY this scene.]] "Pumping" starts about 2 minutes into the movie. |
| 267 | * ''VideoGame/{{Swine}}'': General Irontusk leads a coup and takes over the Republic of Pigs with the people loudly celebrating it. Some governmental elements holed up in Pigsburg are quickly eradicated then the city is renamed in honor of the new leader. Next, the pigs cross the border without declaration of war and invade Carrotland, successfully doing a blitzkrieg and taking over everything except the capital, Rabbipolis. However, the rabbits retaliate and turn around the outcome of the war. In the English version, the pigs have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjueIHBBQWk#t=5s German accents]] while the rabbits have French. [[SarcasmMode I wonder]] UsefulNotes/{{w|orldWarII}}hat [[SarcasmMode inspired them]]... |
| 268 | * ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'': |
| 269 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'': After Harold has to leave the party for a while, Judas' first comment is he'll get better sleep without her around. Nanaly immediately calls him out on missing her. |
| 270 | ** A non-sexual example with the Human Ranches in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', where people are rounded up, disenfranchised and experimented on. There may not be systematic execution, but it still [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany sounds like a certain something...]] [[note]]It certainly doesn't help that one of the people running the Human Ranches is pretty much the Desian version of Joseph Mengele.[[/note]] |
| 271 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' and ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2 Xillia 2]]'' does this with ''everything'' about direct-tethering, done between humans and spirits. Jude tethered with Muzét in ''Xillia'', because she was weak and he 'filled her up with loads of mana'. The fact that Milla acts angry and jealous about this doesn't make it better. And Jude doesn't understand the implication. Gets upped in ''Xillia 2'' where Muzét [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBT9hmEq6cg brings up her tethering with Jude]] in a skit and ups the implications, stating Gaius was a very 'forceful' tetherer and wondering what tethering with [[HeroicMime Ludger]] would be like. If the player has Ludger offer to take Muzet's offer, she gets upset when she realizes that Ludger is an Elympion and has no mana to give her. Ludger gets really depressed at that. |
| 272 | ** Early in ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', Sorey and Mikleo discuss making a pact so that Mikleo can fuse with Sorey. Sorey, however, is reluctant out of the fear of hurting Mikleo. It really sounds like they're discussing [[TheirFirstTime something else]], and [[AccidentalPun that's just the tip]] of the iceberg for the HoYay. |
| 273 | * ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Medic's medigun is a rather phallic-like object held at waist level that vibrates slightly while charging (the Kritzkrieg even more so). Popping an uber at the wrong time is compared to premature ejaculation. |
| 274 | ** Also, since all of the classes tend to be InLoveWithYourCarnage, the things they say in the heat of the battle can sound rather suggestive. |
| 275 | ** Not to mention [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aTHWCpyfYE a certain rocket launcher for Soldier]], though this one isn't intentional[[note]]As its name suggests, The Original is basically the rocket launcher from ''VideoGame/{{Quake|I}}'', which, like every other weapon in that game, was held in the bottom-center of the screen without any visible hands to support it[[/note]]. |
| 276 | * The ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' games certainly like to add some lines that makes the characters talk about things that seem to indicate... things. More noticeable with [[AllMenArePerverts the guys]] in the [[DistaffCounterpart Girl's Side]] games. |
| 277 | ** Shiba from ''Girl's Side 2'' says he rather is happy that the heroine is [[HugeGuyTinyGirl so short compared to him]] as it makes things easier, like not needing to worry about changing lightbulbs and... other things. He does not elaborate when the heroine asks him what he means by that. |
| 278 | ** Harry from the same game says that he named a guitar of his after the heroine. But mentions that, depending on how he holds it, it changes the sounds it makes, so he says naming it after her was maybe not a good idea... |
| 279 | ** Tamao from ''Girl's Side 3'' doesn't have any lines in-game that indicate a whole lot, but some of the lines he says at the logo screen after you get his ending can be quite... obvious. Things like "Let's do it in your room tonight" or even "My voice was a bit too loud... Haha, how embarrassing." |
| 280 | * 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 parallels 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. |
| 281 | * ''Franchise/TouhouProject''. Koishi Komeiji. ''Rekindled "The Embers of Love"''. |
| 282 | ** For explanation, the aforementioned attack uses heart-shaped projectiles flying point-first and leaving a trail behind them, resulting in a number of shapes not unlike phalluses flying around on the screen. To top that off, the character who uses that attack also has spellcards based on Freudian psychology. |
| 283 | * [[spoiler:Burgmund's]] records of experimentation with the [[spoiler:Pigmen]] in ''VideoGame/TheWizardBurgmund'' are... ''suggestive'', to say the least. |
| 284 | * Part of the conflict in ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus'' is driven by the fact that when [[StupidJetPackHitler the Nazis]] [[InvadedStatesOfAmerica took over America,]] the vast majority of white Americans, rather than try and fight for their country's independence, hesitantly accepted the new regime, several scenes show fully [[ThoseWackyNazis uniformed Nazis]] interacting with [[TheKlan hooded Klansmen]] on friendly terms, and have adapted to life under occupation so long as it's only ethnic minorities who get [[{{Dehumanization}} the worst treatment.]] Considering the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August of 2017, this game was considered eerily [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/wolfenstein-ii-stars-address-nazi-marketing-controversy-games-unexpected-relevance-1047880 timely]] [[https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/19/wolfenstein-ii-trailer/ and]] [[http://www.newsweek.com/nazi-video-game-wolfenstein-angers-nazis-make-america-nazi-free-again-slogan-679530 relevant]] when it was released in October of 2017. |
| 285 | --> '''Grace:''' Monsters didn't do this-- ''Men'' did. |
| 286 | * ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'': When Joshua sees a hole, he knows how to fill it. The announcer was talking about Tin Pin Slammer. Really. Then again, [[AmbiguouslyGay maybe not]]. |
| 287 | * For Blizzard's 2010 April Fools joke, ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' introduced the [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Equipment_Potency_EquivalencE_Number Equipment Potency EquivalencE Number]], or EPEEN, which adds to the UI a vertical bar above your character's head to represent gear quality: the better your gear, the longer your bar. Blizzard promises: |
| 288 | -->Thanks to this new system, no one will be able to ignore the fruits of your long, hard journey toward gear perfection.\ |
| 289 | ...you'll also begin receiving in-game mail with exciting offers for additional ways to enhance it.\ |
| 290 | To ensure players with a smaller number will not be shafted by this new system, we plan to introduce a wide variety of new solo content for less well-equipped players.\ |
| 291 | Any negative repercussions of these changes will be offset by the satisfaction you'll receive knowing your equipment is significantly more impressive than average. |
| 292 | ** Side-quests in ''World of Warcraft'' contain this with astonishing frequency for what is ostensibly a Teen-rated game. One of the first groups of baddies you run into if you level an orc or troll character is The Burning Blade, a cult that ritualistically uses [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin a drug which makes their blood poisonous]]. A series of side quests on the Forsaken side in the Eastern Kingdoms meanwhile takes you through what is totally not a concentration camp (it totally is). The Alliance isn't that much better. You get to be the riot police taking out striking workers...yay. A disturbingly high number of quests in the game SHOULD have you asking [[HeelRealization wait...are we the baddies?]]. You know, if you actually read the quest text. |
| 293 | * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': One of the game’s main plot lines involves Nia coming to terms with that fact that [[spoiler: she’s a Flesh Eater ([[LessDisturbingInContext It’s not as disturbing as it sounds]]; it just means that she’s a [[LivingWeapon Blade]] with human DNA).]] This is foreshadowed heavily throughout the game, and she seems quite uncomfortable about it and tries to hide the fact from her friends. As their journey progresses, however, [[spoiler: Nia starts to fall in love with Rex, and at a late point in the game, she confesses her love to him, and finally comes to terms with her identity to show him and the rest of their friends who she really is.]] This story is very easy to compare to someone who is LGBT. |
| 294 | * One infamous sequence in ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' has the batshit insane villain Albedo abducting Momo and subjecting her to MindRape to extract information he needs from her brain. Momo is seperated from the rest of the party a lured into a dark alley. Albedo knocks her out and takes her to a different location, where he makes a bizarre speech to her that's simultaneously threatening and overly affectionate. Finally, Albedo forces Momo to lay on the ground and extracts the information he needs. By the time Momo gives her final line of the scene, it's barely even subtextual. |
| 295 | -->"Get out of my body." |
| 296 | * The general design for the cockpits of [[AMechByAnyOtherName Orbital Frames and LEVS]] of the ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' series are rather... phallic. God knowing how many jokes were made around Jehuty's or [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Vic Viper's]] cockpits. Dingo in ''The 2nd Runner'' doesn't make it any better when he shoves it up close to the face of another Orbital Frame while trying to get info from its pilot. |
| 297 | ** Even "feminine" Orbital Frames like [[HumongousMecha Humongous]] RobotGirl [[http://images.wikia.com/zoe/images/d/d6/%2863%29_Zone_of_the_Enders_Dolores,_i_copia.jpg Dolores]] and Viola's [[http://images.wikia.com/zoe/images/9/98/Neith.jpg Neith]] are not safe from this, resulting with [[{{Hermaphrodite}} hermaphroditic]] designs. |
| 298 | * The flicker of the Flickering Torch in ''VideoGame/ZorkGrandInquisitor'' is played as a mental illness. He says he developed the flicker in response to his fear of the dark, that that's OK. |
