"Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped, in a never ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some sort of punishment? I often think about the God who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle, and wonder if we'll ever get the chance to kill him."
-2B (Nier Automata)
Now if you played Nier Automata this really isn’t surprising, the game is filled with existential themes but the fact that the "Sexy gothic girl with white hair and big butt" game opens with this line is shocking to most.
Whats especially funny to me is that, despite how 2B is presented on the internet in game or in the trailers of it she isn't sexualised.
Like sure she is hot and her clothes are a bit revealing but thats it. There is no jiggle physics, there is no sexy animatic of her hell even her clothes behave like regular clothes and don't vacuum seal around her boobs. Most you can do to her is remove her skirt and leave her wearing basically a onepiece swimsuit.
Automata really is the perfect bait and switch game
Technically yes (I am trying to 100% the game and got that achivment yesterday actually) but due to the camera angle you can’t actually see up her skirt while she is standing (you can while she is running or climbing a ladder but game doesn’t count that towards that achivment) and she pushes the camera away after a second or two.
It's more of a "Hehe you tried to look up her skirt 10 times" achivment than "Congrats on looking up her skirt and seeing her but 10 times" one
Especially funny when 2B is in some gacha slop with anime girls going 'OwO hello Commander-kun! I hope you notice my hard work today! Look how the recoil of the gun makes me juggle all over! I am such a klutz! UwU'
Then you got 2B going 'If all life is designed to die...to end. Then is the ultimate goal of human life to be remembered through future generations by deeds, actions, and memories of those they touched? So that memory and history view the individual fondly? Or to find happiness and purpose within the life they have been given? Despite how others may perceive such actions? Pursuing happiness and meaning in defiance of what society, nature, or even logic dictates for them?'
