A male anti‑hero whose blackdraw employs heavy cross‑hatching to convey internal turmoil. Comparative analysis reveals that gendered line weight (thicker for male, smoother for female) subtly reinforces traditional masculinity/femininity codes, even within a “gender‑neutral” aesthetic. Drawing on Mulvey’s “male gaze” and recent critiques of gendered visual tropes in gaming (Wolf, 2021), this paper interrogates how AVBD subverts or reproduces gendered expectations. |
