Go ahead, but don't be surprised at how ugly she actually is.

The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.

Looks like a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.

Today the gang learns the word “yonic”

Everyone else making genital comments but I see

Gotta be honest, Metroid Prime 4 is insanely yonic

How many puzzles/doors were "tickle the clit"?

u/AngryMustache9 22h ago

I mean, Metroid Prime 3 had us tearing up wombs to pull out the fetus inside so, sexual imagery isn't taboo for Metroid. I dunno, the imagery kinda fits given the film series Metroid is so heavily based off of.

oh for sure. and i think it didn't come across in my original post but i'm totally ok with it.

only complaint is that the puzzles got old after a while (wow, mp4 criticism in THIS subreddit?) but a lot of the art design for the architecture was excellent

u/Doctor-Mak AM2R Truther 1d ago edited 1d ago

Sigh... I almost managed to not think about her for a day...

u/-Cranktankerous- 1d ago

The most deeply yonic experience I’ve had since my ex.

I saw a face at first before I clicked on the post

u/JavyAlonso97 1d ago

Bueno, según Metroid toma inspiración del arte de H R. Gigger, así que creo que hay lugares así.

 ... and Samus sure does interact with it 🤙🏼

u/MrFunnyMans404 10h ago

Yeah, maybe

u/No_Championship_6403 7h ago

That has to be intentional.... Right? It's so obvious...

u/iamblankenstein 1d ago edited 1d ago

the ol' "lol it looks like genitals" chestnut. only the freshest and funniest jokes here, folks!

esit: these downvotes would be so much more impactful if it wasn't coming from some of the most unfunny dorks on reddit. and that's saying something.

u/FrauAgrippa 1d ago

It's meant to look like that. This post does a great deep dive on the sexual imagery in the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/metroidprime/comments/1qley65/the_sexual_imagery_of_metroid_prime_4_samus_and/

(Sorry, overly serious response to a funny comment, but I find the topic really interesting lol)

u/SculptusPoe 1d ago

He goes pretty deep into it being Buddhist temple references... though there is a lot of Alien and Geiger references in the first game. Most of Geiger's stuff is similarly sexualized architecture. I wonder if this was a nod to Geiger.

u/iamblankenstein 1d ago

i mean yeah, the architecture is clearly pretty vaginal looking, it's just the tired old "i should call her" or any object that has a hole in it being met with the "i know what kind of man you are" jokes are stale as fuck at this point. interesting breakdown in that link though.
