should games be desexified while every other social media focusses on sex and appeal?

I was wondering about this because frankly social media accounts and apps by woman focus more and more on themselves as sex and sexual appeal since its inception.

while on the other hand games like BMX XXX, DOA or even tomb raider aren't made anymore or desexualised.

why does /must this exist in gaming while every other media totally shits on this "femalefriendly/woke" principle?

I don't see what one has to do with the other.

The goal of a woman who does that sort of thing on social media is to get as many followers/whatever as possible, and in that medium, the most effective way is undoubtedly to be hot and show skin.

A gaming company's objective is to sell games. Sexy digital women being unrealistically or unnecessarily sexualized may or may not help achieve that goal.

A "model" on social media also has the benefit of only having to sell one product, themselves to one audience. A company like Nintendo has to sell multiple products to multiple audiences. Releasing an overly sexual game may harm their capacity to sell other products. More importantly, the instagram model probably doesn't care about how her actions effect the world at large (and I'm not saying she should) so long as she's getting views. Major companies are expected to care about those kinds of things, and not caring may cost them sales.

In short, they're entirely different things, and what goes on in social media should not dictate what gaming companies decide to do.

Well Nintendo releases Bayonetta, so I dont think they are that worried.
