Lol that's greatlooks like the Chef Flynn McGarry with that hair.
Attractive men in video games

I've never heard that. I could've missed that, but there's nowhere in the game that specifies it, and Nintendo has never explicitly stated his age afaik. I'll see if I can find an official source.
There's no official statement on the age of Link in Breath of the Wild. The youngest that he can be is 17 as that's the age he has to be to go to Nayru's Spring with Zelda.

Let's look at the text of the game and compare the needless sexualisation of male characters to female characters, who have no control/agency of their sexuality and are in revealing outfits just for the audience. Post the examples of that happening with the male characters in this thread. This seems harmless if the male characters are not sexualised against their will or doesn't fit their character and is just pervert fanservice.
Damn. Not a Spiderman fan at all but I may have to buy this game now...!
Two main examples are Carlos with the shirtless mod the almost completely naked Spider-Man. It's hard to say something is against character when the creator could just say that this is their character. However, when there's just ridiculous fanservice AND people take it to extremes and take very sexualized pics, then it's definitely wrong imo. I've made that clear, and I don't want to debate much anymore. Hopefully we can just focus on posting great, attractive designs and stop making this something it shouldn't be.
The obvious counterpoint to this would be the posts talking about teenage male characters (like, for example, Persona series protagonists).
He is insanely cute. I just wanted to protect him. Even though RE2 has no stamina system whatsoever, I made sure to take some walking breaks while running around because I didn't want him to get too tired lol. I guess that's also a byproduct of video game characters becoming increasingly more realistic.
That beard and hair make a huge difference.Counterpoint:

Just know that it is the hardest to unlock skin. You need to 100% the game. I talked to the 3D artist who modelled that skin (a straight man by the way) and it was meant to be eyecandy for everyone who put extra effort into completing the game.
It's ridiculous how much more attractive he is with the beard and messy hair.That beard and hair make a huge difference.
I think this is true of a lot of people. It's why I've wanted to grow a beard to cover up some of my dumb baby face, but it's not thick enough, so I'll have to keep looking like a tired 15 year old.
Mission accomplished!Just know that it is the hardest to unlock skin. You need to 100% the game. I talked to the 3D artist who modelled that skin (a straight man by the way) and it was meant to be eyecandy for everyone who put extra effort into completing the game.
wtf this was Doc this whole time!? 0_0Gustave "Doc" Kateb from Rainbow Six Siege. His French accent only makes him even more attractive.
Sexualising and objectification are not the same thing. A unlockable set of underwear that can be be worn by a strongly developed male character is not the same as a two dimensional female character running around the game world in their underwear with intentional camera shots zooming in on their ass.
You can have sexy game characters, you can have female nudity - people start having issues when it feels like the developers only put the female characters there to gawk at / the sexual angle feels needlessly out of place.
Also, we've spent the last 1000 years objectifying every female character under the sun, no shit people are going to give sexualised male characters more benefit of the doubt than female characters

A perfect example is almost every metroid game vs other m.
Other m-the very first shot of samus in the game after the flashback cutscenes is a slow pan up her body while she is laying there stretched out, zoomed in on her ass and chest. The next cutscene in the training room has the camera pan right behind her literal skin tight zero suit. Plus a bunch of other moments in cutscenes. Even the gameover shot slowly shows samus laying face first into the floor and her ass pointed up. Like no one can reasonably defend that shit.
Every other metroid-get a fanservice screen shot depending in your completion percentage/time.
Nah the stadium can't remove the fences because that's not how the game works or how they make money. It's a part of the system. Again thinking any obstruction in life can just be removed comes from a position of privilege where that might have been the case most of the time in your experience. Trust me when I say it's not like that the majority of the time. This is not a time for logic because humans and by association the systems they create are not logical.
Yeah, it's part of the system. That's why the system itself needs to be destroyed.
A lot of people consider the other games objectification too, the better you do the less clothes she has.
Well then you can call the spiderman thing equally objectifiying since it's the same thing.
Revolution. I know that it's unlikely, but unfortunately the alternative is just acknowledging that sexism is inevitable and impossible to eliminate.
I guess you missed an earlier post I made. I said it's acceptable as a temporary measure but long-term there needs to be an other goal.
I second Barret from VII remake, reallyattractive.
Then I've got a soft spot for Zangief:
Bald Bryan Fury in TTT was very fine.

Too lazy to post pics, but Cloud, Noctis, Nagito, Joker, and Gilgamesh from Fate series are all good-looking. I also find N from Pokémon to be weirdly attractive

He is sooo hot, love how he looks. Wish he had a hairier chest.No lie. RE3 Carlos is hot as fuck.
Also, FF7 Remake Barret is surprisingly attractive, though the same goes for every important character in that game (sans Hojo).
I like them hairy :D. Wish more game devs designed characthers with chest hair, they seem to shy away from it.
True, this thread shows how eye-candy for androphiles is relatively limited compared to eye-candy for gynephiles in the video game sphere.
Honest question here: I'm not a native english speaker and I don't really get why males and females shouldn't be used like that. Is it not interchangeable with men/women? Have seen it used like that a lot. I want to know so I don't accidently put my foot in it.
