A few brief thoughts on Stellar Blade's aesthetics.
Some beauty inspires life on a carnal basis.
"Ugh I want to give her babies."
Nothing wrong with that. This must happen.
Some beauty promotes life on a spiritual basis.
Lifting our eyes up to God and life eternal.
The realm of traditional aesthetics.
In the case of Stellar Blade we deal with the first, lower, category. But we must ask to what extent such pornographic display of female charm ultimately leads to the creation of life and family. And to what extent it merely fuels the Talmudic cycle of porn.
"But Stellar Blade is based?!"
In defying the uglification of women, the erasure of feminine beauty, and the sterilization of men, yes. In a world with norms so devalued and subverted even the aesthetics of porn become counterrevolutionary.

I do not deny that the game has beauty. The question was what kind of beauty. And, if that beauty is so pornographic that it wanders into a different realm, one of porn, and stops being beauty in a real, not-subverted sense.
I then also said that even if that is the case, and Stellar Blade is the lowest form of aesthetics, it still tries to be aesthetic, and thus acts as a counterrevolutionary force in a culture that has declared war against any kind of beauty.
The post was about nuance. Even if something belongs to a destructive category, it may act against even more destruction in a heavily subverted culture like ours.
