Like I said, it's like asking why something is funny. Can't always be explained in a satisfying way.

I don't necessarily like tattoos or piercings, but I do really like Rio and Cammy, even Zoey I like. That's more about personality, character, stuff on the inside that helps me look past what I don't like on the outside. Would I like them more if they didn't have tattoos or piercings? I'd say yes, but they aren't dealbreakers.

I simply asked if you could articulate why you like what you like. It seems the simple and direct answer is "no." Perhaps I should've been more clear. I was hoping to hear from those who could articulate these things, not those who can't.

Respectful question for the countless ardent fans of this incredibly popular game, including DrPinkCake himself. This is not an attempt to troll or offend. I simply have personal tastes that differ, and I'm curious if any of you can explain your tastes to me so that I may understand. I'm very much into "girl next door" types, or simple, authentic, cute, natural, fresh-faced, unadorned females--basically the opposite of everyone in this game, as far as I can tell. Obviously, these issues carry over to other games and much of society, but I'm asking here because this game is so popular and this thread is well-attended.

While I don't expect anybody to go through all of these, please pick whichever ones you'd like to speak to. What do you find appealing about:

* extremely heavy makeup that gives an unnatural look and obscures the face underneath
* painted-on eyebrows
* long fake fingernails with unnatural colors
* facial piercings
* heavy tattooing
* unnaturally colored hair
* half-shaved heads

I do not like HEAVY make up but some makeup is fine I am gonna cross games for a second Erynn from Intertwined she looks better with her more natural look but still looks really good with heavy makeup too

Painted on eyebrows suck period

Nails can be fake IDC and color can be fun BUT the really long nails is stupid not sure who exactly you;re referring to here

Facial piercings ruin girls. its one of the things I heavily dislike about Rio. Rio I have always found not to be the most attractive but her personality is fun and she is a caring person who deserves more. BUT I will always be less interested in her due to the piercings. Also hate Gina's eyebrow piercing. But ear, nipple, belly button, & clit piercings I am all for them!

Tatoos are fine BUT PLACEMENT AND SUBJECT MATTER/ART are very important. ex Cammy, TIffani, Lily, Riona, I don't mind there tats. Sandy, Jenna, Emma, Zoey, Mel I hate their tats. Rose & Gina I don;t love them but I don't hate them either. Mel is probably the biggest sticking point for me because the placement, if she had the roses on her ribs and the crown tat on her arm/leg/by her hip, etc. I would love them.

Quinn's half undercut is not bad actually certain girls can rock this look, some can't.

* half-shaved heads
* bone structure that gives a severe, unfriendly look
* general vibes of jadedness, deadness, inauthenticity, severity, unnaturalness, invulnerability, and a sort of relative soullessness (as opposed to an innocent, full, fresh, present, lively, and whole-some energetic)

Some of those observations are objective and some are obviously subjective, but I'm just trying to articulate as best I can what I'm noticing and what I'm trying to understand. Thank you.

I don't see any reason why people should have to report to you about their tastes in girls, but look, simple, authentic, fresh faced girl next door, there is Josy for you.
Or cute and innocent - Jill.
In this game you can find something for yourself even in the most conservative tastes.

Just because BaDIK is a very popular game, it doesn't mean we're all fans of the aspects you just brought up. We don't all love the game only because of how the girls look. It's a very shallow way to look at the game's popularity or why we adore the women in it. It has more to do with focus on character driven storytelling and a lot of us have grown fond of the girls based rather on their personalities and character arcs. Looks are often secondary.

Besides, if you search around you may find plenty of complaints and memes about the girls' designs. To name a few, just look at Jill and jokes about her raccoon makeup or goblin smile, or perhaps you'll notice people pointing out Maya's rough skin or Bella's oversized proportions. You're also not alone in liking less makeup. DPC has started doing it more lately and players sing praises whenever a girl appears with little to no paint on her face. Of course, some people are also casually shallow and are automatically drawn to chicks of particular hair color, ignoring everything else, or don't even give a girl a chance just because they don't like tattoos or piercings.

Ultimately, I think you're approaching this topic from a wrong angle. People aren't only drawn to BaDIK because of the specific ways the women look. The designs are mostly DPC's taste, the story is his vision, you either accept it, learn to love it or find something else to play. Just because the game might be missing exactly your type of love interest, doesn't immediately mean its players don't have overlapping tastes with yours. I'm sure many of us also love the kind of woman you described. A few in the game come quite close actually, either looks or personality wise, and they all have respectable fan bases.
