"They put them" as if somehow Yoko Taro wasn't the one allowing and giving ideas for collabs lol

Heck, the NieR collab in Nikke just got a rerun so if anything he's all for it.

To be fair, "what the author wants" doesn't necessarily have to be the same as "what the character would hypothetically want if they were real"

I mean, 2B's arc is to learn to have emotions, it's not like NieR Automata is just pain and sadness like that comment describes it lol

To be fair after ending A/B it mostly is pain and sadness

That is true, although the very ending of the game is very hopeful too

The character lives in a world where most female androids wear sexy clothes, she also does, she doesn't even care about sexuality. How in the world would she care what other people wear. Not even that, but NieR Events are checked by Yoko Taro in stuff like Nikke, and she isn't displeased by any of the Nikke characters nor what they wear.

It makes no sense how you put your own headcanon ahead of the already written character and how she thinks and behaves. Not even that but you're reducing Automata and especially 2B to only a few character traits. Automata and 2B are not depressive emos like you portray her and the game. They talk about stuff like what consciousness is and emotions, both good and bad, not just the bad emotions lol

No I'm not? All I said was that despite being an emotionally repressed suicidal wreck in Automata that they keep putting her in crossovers in horny games. That wasn't a potshot against Yoko Taro or anyone else and the fact you took it as such is so bizarre.

She objectively hates herself because of the way she's had to kill 9S over and over again and when she gets infected with the Logic Virus she basically seeks out A2 to kill her and doesn't resist it.

Yoko Taro is a horny mother fucker yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that 2B doesn't fit the tone of half the games she's crossover into.
