Lol no, I'm saying if you do like the gameplay loop, you will eventually get trapped in it. The more you play, the more time-gated walls you hit in the daily grind, and the more time-gated ceilings you hit in the weekly/monthly grinds, all while the game is designed to hook right into your dopamine reward system and never let go. Want to play more? Better cough up some money! Finished your dailies? But today's the last day, time is running out on the banner! Cough up some money!
Oh, lol, you don't see it? The fact that there is an entire model type called "short female" with ~~eight~~ (edit: ten!) characters... but no short males? "Modestly dressed" lmao they're like 60% exposed skin, short shorts and skirts.
And oh, right, there are some "modestly" dressed children that look like children, and act like children... but coincidentally several of those short female models who aren't modestly dressed fall under that "I look exactly like the children but I'm not! I'm actually an adult! Or even an immortal" lolicon trope.
It's. Fucking. Gross.
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Short_Female_Characters I clicked on 4 among the grand total of 10 characters of this type and don't see what you mean. Do you mean that the miniskirts are supposed to be sexy or something? ...I don't really see it. Maybe it's a cultural thing where as an Asian I don't find that sexy?
Klee and Nahida's skirts effectively don't even exist - they end at the hip, with exposed undergarments.
It's a good thing you don't see that as sexy on those character models, but imagine those same outfits on conventionally attractive real-world adults. If you're suggesting that miniskirts and exposed midriffs are considered "modestly dressed" then what, exactly, would be immodest to you?
Those were actually two of the four I checked out. That's underwear‽ Didn't realize that. That looks so itchy and bumpy on the skin... And that would indeed be sexualization IMO.
But if that wasn't exposed underwear, I really don't see that any more sexualized than https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Duan_Qun_Miao_women_from_a_One_Hundred_Miao_Pictures_album,_pre-1912.gif, which depicts one of the traditional outfits of the Miao shortskirt people. Not saying that this is what you usually find in Asia either, but I find the third person from the left conventionally attractive and not sexualized saved for exposing the breastbones, and perhaps her midriff is a little large.
While checking out the four I also checked what body type the male protagonist was. He also has exposed midriffs and I never noticed that while playing as him when I did a few years ago.
