Neither the current Happening, nor DRC acting like a broken piece of shit will stop the #BestVidyaGirlContest Final:

Samus Aran (Metroid) VS Tamamo-no-Mae (Fate/EXTRA)

Who truly deserves the title of Best Girl?

@ChristiJunior i will come back to vote for samus. i know people will vote against her because fedi (and the internet in general) is full of contrarians.

she's popular for a reason, you know. i'll bet 90% of you niggers didn't even know tamamo existed before this poll.

@beardalaxy To be fair, you'd be shocked by how many Tamamo emojis there were on Fedi, even before this contest. Your instance probably has some you didn't even know about, I know DRC does

@ChristiJunior if gameliberty has any tamamo emotes, i can't find them lol.

i'm guessing she only gets as many votes as she does because she's a meme character. highly doubt most people who knew about her knew her full name, that she even came from a video game at all, or have played the games she's in before this contest went live.

which isn't a bad thing, to be fair, you can like a character even if you don't know who they are really. but claiming that she's the BEST video game girl of all time when she's up against samus aran of all characters is retarded and 100% fueled by contrarianism. you can't win with this strategy either, because if she wins well guess what, she's now the most popular one so i guess you gotta' move on to someone else.

@beardalaxy Against Reimu the big talking point was that Samus is a Coomer character, which just blew me away, and made me wonder if the people putting it out had even heard about the likes of Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Dread etc.

Sure, we LOVE our Samus lewds, but not just because her body is stunning, it's because she's such a gaming legend. Samus lewds basically become the hentai equivalent of celebrity nudes/sex tapes, with all of their naughty, titillating appeal (further enhanced by Samus being an infinitely superior girl to worthless actresses or hack singers). At the same time, since we're so familiar with her games, Samus lewds have something of the appeal of seeing the cute Girl Next Door naked.

Basically, Samus being such an amazing gaming girl is what elevate her nudes, her nudes aren't elevating her.

@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy Samus is really awesome. She's the silent, cool type who just gets the job done. I wish western creators realized that it is possible to create woman characters like this without making her a mary sue with an obnoxious personality who disparages men all the time. It is isn't hard but yet they make it seem like it's impossible.
