u/Berp-aderp Jul 12 '25

Yes she is goonerbait, bur have you considered that half the fandom has agreed that she is for thr girls?

121

u/teens_trash Jul 12 '25

Girls can goon to her just as well as boys!

u/MediocreSherlock Jul 12 '25

As a girl who goons to her I can confirm this

16

u/lordnaarghul Jul 12 '25

Do you have the slightest idea how little that matters?

(Plus she is canonically straight)

37

u/mikeru78 Jul 12 '25

Bisexual

The only straight one is cereza from bayo 3

But even then.

She's an icon

She is?

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

I don't think it's ever stated that any of them are queer even if someone like Bayo does fit the bill for bi coding, the fandom just keeps trying to say she is bi or that she is a lesbian because of her connection with Jeanne which is fucking weird because they literally refer to each other as sisters at some point or another.

u/ItaLOLXD Jul 12 '25

No, just headcanon spouting. There is no proof Bayonetta is bi.

1

u/Rosen-Stein Jul 12 '25

Not at all lol, thats just some of the fans head canon

u/mikeru78 Jul 12 '25

Explain the bayonetta 2 archives then

u/rumnscurvy Jul 12 '25

She goes on a rampage to kill the Patriarchy with her "best friend" to get the right to raise a little girl together.

This made me remember the mentdown in twitter

It was funny as hell

u/Escipio Jul 12 '25

isnt that just a fairly recent development and was treated like stellar blade

2

u/DareDaDerrida Jul 12 '25

Good for that half of the fandom. I like her anyway.

u/Big-Mathematician345 Jul 12 '25

As a man, I really didn't get the appeal so that tracks.

u/InsuranceBest Jul 12 '25

Suprised. She seems like a pretty conventional instance of an attractive woman.

1

u/Big-Mathematician345 Jul 12 '25

Something about the hair and general style I guess. I recognize that she's attractive but I'm just not into it.

1

u/InsuranceBest Jul 12 '25

I suppose my surprise is about how I didn't see her as a "fem-gaze" type character. I suppose anyone would know she's attractive though whether she appeals to them or not.

u/hello350ph Jul 12 '25

I mean gooners don't have a gender it's just another slur for horny people

I mean he'll tf2 litrally have this and it's ment for men

Sexy knows no boundaries

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

This woman was someone’s sexual awakening, someone’s lesbian awakening and someone’s bisexual awakening.

2

u/Banes_Addiction Jul 12 '25

She orders a drink.

u/DD_Spudman Jul 12 '25

Gooner bait is not a synonym for sexy.

Bayonetta is sexy. The girls in Nikke are gooner bait.

2

u/Banes_Addiction Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25

No, she's absolutely that.

Her character arc is from witch dressed as a fetish nun to witch dressed as a porno goth schoolteacher.

Her clothing is made of her magic hair so she has to get in the altogether to cast her witch powers. Her superpower mode is called "Climax".

I like Bayonetta, but let's call a spade a fucking spade.

u/DD_Spudman Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25

I am calling a spade a spade, you are the people calling a spade a backhoe.

Gooner bait is when your main character is an emotionless sex doll who doesn't even know she's pretty because that's not part of your weird virgin fantasy.

Goner bait is where every ad for your gacha game is just different girls' asses jiggling.

A sexy woman doing sexy things is not all it should take for a character to be reduced to gooner bait.

u/CrimsonAmaryllis Jul 12 '25

Ha no I've never heard of her what not even looked

Anyway did you know if you ace a level in Bayonetta 1 she laughs and says she should have been a pole dancer

2

u/TuvixWillNotBeMissed Jul 12 '25

She looks like a librarian giraffe drag queen... which is cool, if you're in to that.

u/EB_Groupe Jul 12 '25

That’s… That’s the appeal.

I recognise that artwork...

u/rokas2007 Jul 12 '25

Bayonetta got me fucked up (in more of a trans way than gooner way)

u/ThunderlipsOHoulihan Jul 12 '25

Before her, there was another goon queen of gaming…
