    Of course, they do the male gaze. The majority of the male audience loves it and the majority of the female audience doesn’t care enough to prevent a sale.
    It’s a no-brainer to implement male gaze if your target audience includes males. It’s easy to do and yields a lot of goodwill from that part of the audience. Some gacha games make tons of money just doing the male gaze and literally slopping everything else. It’s absurd how well sex sells.

        They sort-of have to pretend to be just funny because otherwise they get banned for bible belt reasons. They are easy to avoid, so I don’t care about them existing. It’s not the content I need uBlock Origin or SponsorBlock for to get it out of my face.
