art director of RE:Village and creator of Lady Dimitrescu is struck by how horny the internet is

Really love reading what Takano has to say.
This new approach for RE's monster designs completely nails what i would want for the series next, just feels inspired in every sense.
I think more importantly it intentionally defies what is conceived popularly as attractive and appealing to men, which is very topical nonetheless.
But yeah, she's a damn vampire by design.
"Struck by" doesn't mean "surprised by" and the translated excerpts from the interview with Takano make it clear he's pleased with the reactions, which were desired.
Also it would be great if one day the limited minds working at Japanese game dev studios didn't make people think it's acceptable to describe Japan in general as a nation of irredeemable perverts.

V nice to read some thoughtful, intelligent takes in this thread instead of just "she's hot" or "she's not".
I agree especially with this being something I've seen queer communities on Twitter embrace. Which goes hand in hand with how it functions for straight men as an opportunity to deny traditional masculinity, performative or not.
Also, the character herself is designed to subvert and deny convention. What if an attractive, demur lady was actually a terrifying threat? A fun choice! And it's no surprise the internet responded in kind. What if a terrifying threat were actually attractive?
It's playful, positive, and progressive, perfect for a meme.
How in the world do you list Morticia Addams as the inspiration and not expect people to be horny?
Thank you. I did a double take and thought I read that wrong. What was he expecting lmao
Lies.
States Morticia Addams was an inspiration but is shocked people are attracted to thr character? WHICH IS IT?! 🤔

Sophie Turner and Scarlett Johansson as Morticia. Definitely no history of Morticia Addams looking attractive.
RE8 is like chocolate and peanut butter. Scary so I don't end early, but nice enough to see me through to completion.
Platinum here I come!

Is it better or worse to know some people aren't actually horny for the lady?
Idk it's more than just a sex thing, she's got a really unique design.
(It's probably mostly a sex thing for a lot of people.)

No. Everyone has the hots for this 9 1/2 foot tall vampire vixen, and I can't for the life of me why they think she will stay like that from beginning to end.
It's 110% guaranteed that she will undergo several unique regenerative mutations across this game, such as the second form will make her become quadrupedal and more feral, with the third form will be a hideous blob of flesh, bone, and malice. Oh, and lots of displaced teeth, tentacles, and will have a final form that will make her look comically ridiculous (Why not have her transform into a dinosaur?), because it wouldn't be Resident Evil without that sort of nonsense.
🤔Imagine saying, "I modeled one of my monsters after Morticia Addams..."
"...and am SURPRISED AND ALARMED that people have a sexual attraction towards her".
Like fucking lol my dude.
Noticeably missing from every thread is how popular she is with queer women. ERA's so busy trying to say "Oh, dudes are so horny" or whatever but like....I follow a lot of queer women who are quite excited to find out the character is 9'6".
I just can't fathom being attracted to what is essentially a cartoon. To each their own and all that, but I can see why this was unexpected.
This is the new type of fanservice and now that Capcom know about it, I fear what's going to happen moving forward.
Half joking but the leak did say they're making a game for streamers so they can target a specific audience no problem, and they know about CanYouPetTheDog.

lol. i mean, i'm not on the Lady Dimitrescu lust train, but i highly doubt he's actually surprised. lol
"I had no idea that my 9 foot tall, attractive, buxom, vampire antagonist with a 20's-30's style aesthetic would stir such feelings in people!" Ok, bud. Sure. I believe you... XD XD
With that said, I absolutely love her concept. I think she looks so good. I think she comes off as very scary and intimidating. I definitely can see the Morticia Addams inspiration in the pale skin and dark hair, and height. Overall, the game looks amazing, and while I skipped REVII (it's fucking horrifying!), I'm thinking I'll try to play it and beat it before this one. Vampires are awesome, and the setting is one of my favorites, aesthetically, so I'm sold.

Anything can be a fetish to someone. That doesn't mean designing an elegant, tall killer is meant to give you lot boners. She has a legitimately cool design, your personal, sexual sensitivities aside. It feels like the discourse around Lady Dimitrescu already is poisoned by joksters that don't realize the "joke" can get obnoxious.
Game ain't out yet, that possibility ain't exactly relevant to people right now lol
He probably knew, but didn't know the extent.
I mean, shit, I knew she'd be popular, but I didn't think the internet would get this crazy over her.

I'm a super short guy, so most of the women I've dated have been taller than me. Lol
I have no height preferences when it comes to dating. Unfortunately for me, a lot of women on dating apps do. But dating apps suck anyway. XD
I don't get the whole "crush me with your thighs" or "sit on me" stuff I see about Lady Dimistrescu though. No thanks. I'd run like hell if I saw her coming towards me. She's fucking scary! Sure, she's alluring, but, that's kind of what Vampires do, right? And you just know she's going to turn into a giant slug monster at some point.
1- it doesn't really matter at all if she'll stay like that from start to finish? The most horny fanart can and will simply ignore it (and some actually won't, but those are niche)
2- Even if this is a new team, the RE franchise has had not-grotesque, or even cool or sexy looking antagonists even in their "monster form" before. Wesker never went full monster, and while I can't recall many women antagonists transforming, RE6 had one monster woman who still looked humanoid enough to pass as sexy.
Do remember RE7 had Zoey turn into an "snow" anime waifu at the end.
So like, there's any direction this could go.
After those Capcom leaks about internal presentation documents about not sexualizing characters or presenting characters in a sexualized way im sure they are more confused than ever.
Yeah this is where I'm at, they knew what they were doing and I'm all for it.
We will see when the game launches, but consider me skeptical for now.
All I'm going to say is that cats purr not just when they are content, but when they are scared too.
