20170608 - This is what my ideal girlfriend looks like

He replaces dating with a Final Fantasy XIV catgirl, “Aineeda,” after deciding neither cute Asian nor non-Asian women are attainable. He designs her as pale, black-haired, shorter, larger-busted, minimally made-up, cat-eared, and conventionally cute, blending Asian aesthetics with feline features. Gameplay becomes sexualized voyeurism: he undresses her, inspects underwear and physics, runs naked, jokes about sexual assault, dies to a cactus, then resumes exploring.

Virtual fantasy intensifies unattainable beauty standards while displacing reciprocal relationships and real-world romantic uncertainty.
