Line 87:
* All most ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' fans seem to remember about [[Church Militant|the Sisters of Battle]] is that they're an [[Amazon Brigade]] in a ''very'' male-dominated setting, and that one of their troop options literally wear nothing but three scraps of paper (and a [[Chainsaw Good|Chainsaw Sword]]). Also, apparently the Dark Eldar do nothing but rape everything to death. As do [[The Hedonist|Slaaneesh worshippers]].
* Mention the card Elvish Ranger to any ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' fan and prepare to hear about [http://magiccards.info/ai/en/67.html its art featuring an elf woman in a] [[Fur Bikini]]. Nobody seems to know that the card came with an alternate art version [http://magiccards.info/ai/en/68.html featuring a conservatively-dressed male elf.]
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'':
** ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. The plot? The [[Guide Dang It]] [[100% Completion]]? The triumphant return of the [[Final Fantasy]] Job System last seen in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]''? It's all overshadowed by the girls' [[Stripperific]] dresspheres.
** Even in the original ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who can remember the [[Corrupt Church]] plot, but can easily remember the fact that Lulu bends over during her [[Victory Pose]] and Rikku's first appearance as a proper party member consists of her stripping out of a wetsuit.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' - Have fun trying to remind a fanboy that Tifa was one of the most emotionally complex and morally interesting members of the main cast, or pointing out the surprisingly subtle foreshadowing of [[The Reveal]] concerning her past with Cloud - or, hell, that Aeris and Yuffie were also in the game. Despite her ''mountains'' of careful character development or her constant ''skirt''ing with suffering a breakdown herself, her interesting relations''hips'', or her ability to keep a ''leg'' up on most situations, there's just ''two'' facts you need to keep a''[[Hurricane of Puns|breast]]'' of where Tifa's concerned.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', the 33 cm shoe is on the other foot. Good luck explaining to a fangirl that Snow Villiers isn't the game's main character. Why is that? The ''length'' of time spent developing his personality doesn't seem to be a ''big'' part of ''it''.
** And moving beyond ''XIII'', even though we don't know much about ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' yet, most of the talk about it is fangirls swooning over Noctis. [[Even the Guys Want Him]], though... Others saw the trailer and remember it as [[Lonely Piano Piece|that]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|one]] [[Bishounen|trailer]] [[Battle in the Rain|that]] [[Supernatural Martial Arts|tries]] [[Opera|way]], [[Implausible Fencing Powers|way]] [[Camera Tricks|too]] [[Slouch of Villainy|hard]] [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|to be cool]].
** ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' had [[Catgirl|bunny girl]] Fran, and some other people. And Princess Redbutt.
** And take it all the way to 1988 and ''[[Final Fantasy II]]''. [[The Hero|Firion]] gets seduced by a [[Cute Monster Girl|lamia queen]] disguised as the princess. Prior to ''Dissidia'', if you remembered just one thing about ''II'', it was that. Considering that [[Square Enix]] themselves play it up, though, you can't really be blamed for it.
** [[Final Fantasy XIII-2]] has a rather memorable scene of Lightning getting magically stripped nude of her regular outfit and then having it replaced by her new, more fanservicey armor.
* Why should you play ''[[Snatcher]]''? You get to flirt with all the women! It even caters to all the ephebophiles out there! And there's nudity! And something about Communist robots taking over the world with [[Kill and Replace|Replicant Snatching]], probably.
* The way some people talk about ''[[Mass Effect]]'', you'd think the game is nothing but [[Rated "M" for Money|full-on]] [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|alien lesbian sex]]...[[Media Research Failure|that never actually happens]]. As a meta-example, it seems like the only thing the die-hard fans care about is the romances.
* There are some people who have never even played ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', yet almost everyone knows about [[Furry Fandom|Krystal]].
* ''[[Tomb Raider]]'': Lara Croft is best remembered for the programmer goof that gave her a larger bust than she should have had and that's all most remember about her. The fact her series has a plot that revolves around tomb raiding isn't mentioned nearly as much.
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned]]'': Congressman Stubbs' penis. That's it.
** ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'': Three words - [[wikipedia:Hot Coffee mod|"Hot Coffee" Mod.]]
* ''[[Prince of Persia]]: Warrior Within''. Shahdee is a minor character who gets dispatched not far into the game, yet thanks to her [[Thong of Shielding|outfit]] and [[Male Gaze|introduction sequence]], many remember her like she was the focus of the game.
* ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' is about a busty, drool-inducing, barely-clothed [[Horny Devils|succubus]] [[Memetic Sex God|who is sexier than sex]], wanders the earth looking for a good time, and appears in most of [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Capcom's crossover titles]], [[Sarcasm Mode|right]]?
** She's the sole Darkstalker in four games: ''[[Capcom vs. SNK Millennium Fight 2000|Capcom vs. SNK]]'', ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium|Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'', ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes|Marvel vs. Capcom]]'', and ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]''. Demitri... the guy the whole franchise was built around, for crying out loud... has ''one'' such honor (''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos|SVC Chaos]]''). This is not a coincidence.
** Hey, that's not fair! It's [[Betty and Veronica|also got]] a [[Catgirl]], who's motivation is to... um... er... uh... huh.
** And we also vaguely remember some kind of Chinese undead thingy who has blue cleavage and attacks with... um... dunno.
* ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' was the first ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' game to have multiple party members with distinctive personalities, rather than use a predetermined party or a team of [[Player Mooks]]. Of all the characters, [[Ms. Fanservice]] [[Stripperiffic|Maya]]'s artwork is leaps and bounds more voluminous than any other character in the series.
** [[Stripperiffic|Jessica]] of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', appearing as the only one who can change outfits on maps and ''puff-puff'' the enemies into various confusion with her sex appeal abilities.
* In ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|FEAR]] 2'', Alma rapes you. That's right, YOU! Oh yeah and some other stuff happens.
* ''[[King of Fighters]]'' is that fighting game featuring Mai's Gainaxing boobs and ... oh, the rest of the fighters. It's about fighting.
* In ''[[Silent Hill 2]]'', Pyramid Head rapes things. Some say that other things happen.
* Look up the soundtrack to ''[[The House of the Dead (series)|House of the Dead]]: OVERKILL'' sometime. Apparently, the only noteworthy song in the game is the lyrical version of the "Carny" chapter's theme, the focus of which is [[Crosses the Line Twice|a guy making love to a decomposing mutant as it's trying to kill him]].
* Ask a Pokémon fan to think of a female character from ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', and chances are they'll think of Skyla or Elesa first. Suffice to say that neither of them dress [[Stripperiffic|the way normal women would dress]].
** [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Dawn]] is quite recalled for her short skirt however [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Leaf's]] is barely longer.
*** And yet even they're overshadowed by [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|May,]] [[Buxom Is Better|for two obvious reasons.]]
** Leaf actually has the same size chest as May, but she's often ignored because she has yet to have a canon appearance within the games and has no anime appearances.
* ''[[Summon Night]]'' is most well-known in the west for its [[Gay Option]]'s and its other fanservices, mostly in the Swordscraft Story series though. It doesn't help that the box of one of the games displays a screen of Pratty saying she [[It Makes Sense in Context|kisses girls all the time.]]
** Likewise, ''[[Magicians Quest Mysterious Times]]'' is known for being both an "''[[Animal Crossing]]'' clone" and "an ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' clone where you can be gay". ''[[Harvest Moon]] Cute'' is also somewhat infamous within the fandom for the [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]] [[Gay Option]] that was taken out of the international versions.
* [[Vanillaware]]'s latest title ''[[Dragon's Crown]]'' seems to be heading this way. Fans are less concerned about the quality of the title (which, granted, is nothing to worry about since Vanillaware's releases are consistently good) and more concerned about how much [[Fetish Fuel]] the [[Hot Witch|Sorceress]] and [[Amazonian Beauty]] provide.
* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' is that game where you can have a foursome, and there's something about licking a lamppost in winter.
** Ditto for ''[[Jade Empire]]'' where you can have a threesome. Oh, and something about a big guy with two axes.
* Ask most people about ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' and they'll say "Yeah, I know that game. Isn't it that fighting game with [[Never Live It Down|the boy who dresses up as a girl]]?" Yep. ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' is a game with intense fast-paced combat, an interesting [[Animesque]] setting and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|a ridiculously awesome soundtrack]], yet it is doomed to be forever remembered as "The Game That Gave Us [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Brid]][[Unsettling Gender Reveal|get]]".
* ''[[Touhou]]'' is about a world of (seemingly-underaged) super-powered magical action girls. Who have interesting relationships with each others. Which gives way to tons of cute fanarts and awesome music. "Shoot em ups"? What's a "shoot em ups"? <ref>Unlike other examples on this page, the creator does lament that it's not best known as a shoot em up. Bummer.</ref>
