Yeah me too I find that trend to be personally unfavorable but maybe it's just a western thing with everything being so out of realistic proportion. I really don't understand as someone coming from Asia lol
I'm sure there are folks out there who have a big breast fetish, or a bit butt fetish... So in essence I don't really get disturbed when I see larger breasted characters... I more or less get disturbed when they don't appear to properly fit the body frame, or they defy gravity, or the clothing is stuck to their body shape, or they walk and do things without any consideration for the immense health problems women face when they have breasts that insanely huge... It throws the immersion completely out the door... More so when a majority of the women in the VN/Game have the same issue... Which is way more prevalent in Honey Select designed VN/Games then models made in other modelling engines...
I don't think it's as much of a Western Culture thing then it is a Eastern Culture thing that migrated into the Western Culture, for this niche of the market... The exaggeration of things like body parts and character age visuals, seems to be a theme found in many Adult/Erotic Manga, Anime, and Hentai... And since the Asian market has really been the leader of these styles of Visual Novels and Games, way before the popularity boom in the Western Markets, they kind of set the benchmark... And really it's not completely black and white... It's varying shades of grey, at least in the current market over the last several years... And based on what we've seen in many Honey Select designed VN/Games, even those made my Western developers... Then mixed in with the easy acquisition of this Japanese developed utility, which is being used illegally by most western developers, you see a trend for a majority of the VN/Games made using HS, to incorporate these particularly over the top visuals...
