The people who were very loudly upset about Eve being “for the male gaze” are goin all hubba hubba over Hades 2 nude Aphrodite.
The reason most feminists hate female sexuality in games and movies, in that they think only women should own be able to profit off it and want to shut down men drawing sexy women and making money off it. It's basically the cultural appropriation argument but for the female body.

These journalists aren't even hard to figure out.
"This is disgusting, why would you do this?! oh a fellow woman drew it? niiiice! I love it, you're so good at drawing titties!"
Or don't take what game journalists said seriously ;p
Game journalist is a job that their performance is being measured by traffics generated by their articles. So the more extreme their opinion is in an article the better their performance is. Such articles are more likely to be posted on different internet forums by people who disagree, which increases traffics.
So internet journalists are just going to write the most extreme opinions ever, it benefits them.
If I ever read an article I only look at numbers in it, that's all. Any other opinion does not matter.
I find the entire woke v.s anti-woke war a bit silly tbh. Western female characters haven't been pretty since 1990. Go google might and magic 8 or baldur's gate 2 screenshots. Those female characters aren't anywhere close to anime level of beautiful.
If ugly characters will destroy a game how come we didn't see waves of angry mobs attacking baldur's gate 2 female character design in 2000? People didn't even care back then.
But people care now, probably because they respond to woke journalists and sweet baby inc etc, not because ugly characters will completely destroy a good game.
