"Game devs should listen to gamers and hire fans!!! 🗣️" The gamers and fans:

NSFW

When you actually see over-sexualized characters in games, I tend to assume it's less about "listening to the fans", and more "assuming the fans are all horny dummies". I was a horny teenage boy in the early 2000s, and even I found the huge honkers and ridiculous outfits quite imersion breaking.

Actually listening to fans is good, but at small doses. There's a lot of bad ideas out there, especially from people who know nothing about game dev ("you should add multiplayer!").

I get the point you're trying to make, but fans opinions shouldn't be ignored. And if they want to help, judge their work ethic, not what gets their jimmies goin, if you consider hiring someone.
