00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and I've been nervous about this video for about 3 weeks.
00:10This is 10 video game characters that were too sexy.
00:14A couple ground rules, one, this is going to get playfully objectifying so please don't
00:18cancel me and two, this list, like all lists, was a group effort.
00:22I wanted Big Boss from MGS3 on this list but no, shut up Matt they said, stop showing us
00:28shirtless pictures of Big Boss Matt they said, we don't want your fan fiction pictures
00:32Matt they said.

00:42Sorceress and Amazon.
00:43Let's make it clear from the get go, once we all turned this game on with our partners
00:46sitting next to us, we said pfft, look at them, no human being looks like that, it's
00:51actually insulting babe, honestly, why are you still looking then you dirty perv.
00:56The Sorceress and Amazon exemplify the too sexy part of this entry because they're simply
01:01too sexy to be doing what they're doing.
01:03Dragons Crown drew significant controversy in pre-release coverage during April 2013
01:08for its exaggerated character design, particularly the Sorceress's breasts and the Amazon's buttocks.
01:14Put on some armor for god's sake, stop it, have a glass of water, take a nap.
01:24Lara Croft.
01:30Although she no longer holds onto her meme-ified, ridiculously tiny waist and triangular bosom,
01:35Lara Croft has been a leading sex symbol in video games since the 90s.
01:39Whether she wants to be is defined by the creators, not the character.
01:42The audience, not the character.
01:44The triangular boobs, not the character.
01:47Square Enix reimagined her look back in 2013, bringing her a more proportional and normal
01:52appearance.
01:53To this day, Lara Croft's redesign has received a certain amount of criticism, with some thinking
01:57she's being desexified in some sort of virtue-signalling act whilst others say the redesign isn't going
02:02far enough.
02:03But we've been crushing on Lara since 1996, so when we see her cracking an enemy's head
02:07open with a decent kick, our hearts still flutter.
02:17Mai Shiranui.
02:25Human beings are very simple creatures.
02:27Show us a beautiful person with ridiculous dimensions who can also kick our ass and we'll
02:31show you where we want to get married.
02:33Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series has such a ridiculously
02:37unreasonable character model that her bust, hips and waist measurements are officially
02:42registered on wiki.
02:43She was in fact deemed so sexy that Sakurai had to explain to Smash Bros fans why she
02:47wasn't included in Smash Bros Ultimate, stating that Smash Bros is for good boys and girls.
02:53We should really be trying to move away from this type of fantastically enhanced human
02:57being and to a more realistic beauty standard.
03:00But until then, WAH WAH WEE WAH!
03:15Ivy Ivy is another on our list who exemplifies
03:24the too part of being too sexy.
03:27Because how in the hell is this costume practical for fighting?
03:30I can see everything and I mean everything.
03:32Every entry on this list can't just be me saying good lord jesus christ in heaven but
03:35seriously good lord jesus christ in heaven.
03:38Although Ivy has seen slight changes in costume across the various games she's appeared in,
03:43the fundamentals always remain the same.
03:45A barely clad lady fights giant knight armor wearing behemoths and rarely gets a scratch.
03:50Soulcalibur fans have doubted and questioned her outfit from the beginning of her appearances,
03:54but at no point is it ever explained why she dresses like a high end dominatrix.
03:59Tracer was a major turning point in meme culture, attracting and almost birthing tiktok thirst
04:04and bringing the word simp into the public lexicon.
04:08The gameplay of her character in Overwatch attracted a lot of people.
04:11She was fast and effective, while her personality attracted a lot of… other people.
04:16Bubbly personality, effective gameplay with a modest and attractive look, this combination
04:21appealed to a certain demographic, a neckbeardy demographic, to blow her up to cosplay tiktok
04:26stardom.
04:27And her thirst status was cemented for all time.
04:30The big controversy surrounding Tracer's look was around her victory pose.
04:34The simple argument was that the pose was too sexualized.
04:37The far more gripping argument was that Overwatch was reducing Tracer to just another bland
04:42female sex symbol and undermining her character with a pose that lacked her personality.
04:51Johnny Silverhand
04:57What happens if you combine the personality of every punk band from 1995 to 2010 with
05:04the looks of Keanu Reeves?
05:06You get Johnny Silverhand.
05:07And let me tell you this, I can't even tell you what I'd let him do with that Silverhand.
05:12Alright, I will, I'd let him shove it up my ass.
05:15Johnny Silverhand exudes the cool swag of a burnt out rockstar with the dark, tall and
05:19mysterious look of a rebellion terrorist in a sci-fi universe, because he is a burnt out
05:23rockstar rebellion terrorist in a sci-fi universe.
05:26Johnny Silverhand was controversially given an alternate look that opted to make him more
05:312020 sexy, which undermined his character and everything he believed in.
05:44Eve
05:45Eve from Stellar Blade is our latest example of, and I hate to repeat myself, putting the
05:492 in too sexy.
05:52The developers across the span of the game put her in some ridiculously sexualized outfit
05:56that actually harm the game's plot.
05:58They're unnecessary and fail to show a context that justifies their existence.
06:02Critics claim that Eve's physique and outfit are impractical for a soldier, raising doubts
06:07about her combat effectiveness in such a revealing suit.
06:10On the other hand, some players have appreciated her striking design.
06:13I wonder why.
06:15Lady Dimitrescu
06:16Mother Miranda, I must protest.
06:19Heisenberg is but a child and his devotion to you is questionable.
06:24Referred to affectionately as Lady D, and don't worry, I'm not going to make that joke,
06:28Lady Dimitrescu ruled Castle Dimitrescu as one of the four lords of her region.
06:32Before the game had even officially released, Lady D instantly became a sensation, and I
06:37can easily come up with reasons why.
06:39At least two.
06:41Capcom seemingly designed her with specific appealing traits, elevating the concept of
06:45an attractive villain to new heights.
06:47Literally.
06:48The 9 foot tall dark haired mistress with a god complex and insatiable bloodlust captured
06:52the internet's attention, and once the internet is in love with you, watch out.
06:57The term mummy milkers has never so casually been thrown around.
07:12Miranda
07:13Thank you for stopping me, Commander.
07:15Are you happy about your sister's relocation?
07:18She has what I wanted her to have, a normal life.
07:21Halfway through this game, way back in 2010, I genuinely had to google whether it was directed
07:26by Hideo Kojima, because any chance we got, the camera had Miranda's bum in the foreground,
07:31and the focus of the shot in the background.
07:33Once you're saying get that lady's butt out of my face, you're probably showing her butt
07:36too much.
07:37Somewhat controversially, the legendary edition opted to remove some of these unnecessary
07:42shots as they seemed to sexualize the character, even in moments where sexual energy was devoid.
07:47Naturally, some freaks got upset by this.
07:50Great work freaks.
07:51All that aside, the internet went into a frenzy for Miranda, with the majority of players
07:55choosing to romance her.
07:56Why the hell do they make spacesuits so sexy?
07:58How does anyone get anything done in space?
08:07Tifa Lockhart
08:08Sorry, did I wake you?
08:11The GOAT.
08:12There is absolutely no denying that the most commonly thirsted over character in gaming
08:16is Tifa from Final Fantasy 7.
08:18She's a solid character to have in your party, brandishing her trademark fists to give enemies
08:23the beatdown of a lifetime.
08:24She's a childhood friend of our protagonist, exemplifying the girl-next-door fantasy, and
08:29in the least crude way I can possibly put this, her character model is clearly designed
08:33by a man.
08:35A single man.
08:36Her redesign from original to advent children was controversially hated on, with fans claiming
08:40the addition of more clothes was censorship gone mad.
08:43Her redesign from advent children to remake was controversially hated on, with fans claiming
08:47the addition of a sports bra and stockings was censorship gone mad.
08:50Her redesign in the flashbacks of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was controversially hated on, with
08:54fans claiming the addition of a sports bra was censorship gone mad.
08:58When you're arguing that giving a 15 year old fictional character a sports bra is censorship
09:01gone mad, you should take a couple days off and get your head sorted.
09:05Overall, she seems to be designed for the human gaze, rather than realistic practicality,
09:10and whether or not that bothers you is your business.
09:13Me?
09:14I'm gonna go back to writing about topics that scare me less.
