Despite the revealing outfits we've seen Nintendo parade Samus Aran in, those of you who've ever searched for it know that there's a distinct lack of fan-made pornography featuring the Metroid protagonist. It seems natural to assume that deviants would have produced thousands of doujinshi and other works depicting her engaged obscene acts by now, but aside from a few comics and several dozen crudely-drawn JPGs, there really isn't much of a "Metroid porn" scene to speak of. Meanwhile, characters with much lesser followings, Street Fighter's Cammy or Darkstalkers' Morrigan for instance, have accumulated enough indecent material to their names to stock a small bookstore. What is it about Samus that has for the most part kept her out of the scenes that often sodomize and dehumanize our favorite female video game characters?
GameSetWatch's Leigh Alexander believes that it's our respect for the bounty hunter that keeps artists from debauching her image as a strong, self-reliant woman of good repute. Do you agree? Or are you the perv who sketched that comic of Samus being violated by Ridley's dual-manhood? Shame on you.
