What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

So I play weeb shit and usually, they are filled with coomer-shit or weird designs and I'm desensitized to it at this point. With that said, sometimes, I come across some designs that just confound me.
Which brings me to Azur Lane's version of Shimakaze. Even by fanservice weeb shit, it weirds me out.

What is up with that outfit? Why is she wearing a thong outside on her ridiculously short skirt? Why does she have four eyebrows? (the dots and the lines right under the dots)

It feels like the devs tried to rival KanColle's loli waifu Shimakaze by making this one extra shameless.

And just a slight autistic gripe of mine. If you make kemomimi characters, don't also give human ears on top of the animal ears.
 
This isn't too bad, considering it's more like wacky alt take type fan art stuff. The fucking "clashman" typo reference is a really specific one you'd only get if you playedthe game where crashman is labelled as "clashman" which was one of the gameboy games iirc.
EDIT: FUCK THE MESSAGE IMAGE CHANGED
 
Cross-posting my own rant from VN thread because the main reason I can't get into this are horrendous character designs that are also forced as "romance options".
See, the thing is I was actually looking for "realistic" horror VNs because animu look is not for me, and I thought the backgrounds were kinda nice, but nothing says realism then Dream Daddy style nonbinary vegan 🤮
Not to menion the creator's own hypocrisy (see below). And they're wondering why Western VN is a dying genre.

Was looking for some horror shit and Steam recommended me Scarlet Hollow (currently 99% positive reviews).
So far the real "horror" are the fuckable options🤮

Who the fuck likes PLANT lovers???

edit: Imagine my shock, the creator is a straight white Karen who inserted herself as a fuckable option due to her own insecurities while she herself sexualizes guys with eating disorders. Very stunning and brave.

edit: the 1 episode was free, can confirm that creator's self-insert is fucking stupid and annoying, I killed her dog. The only character I vaguely found intersting was the bitchy cousin. "Horror" my ass

Can we go back to the days of Coming Out On Top where you had variety, but the fuckable options were at least appealing?
 
Inquisition having nothing but fugly women and gay options for male romances.
Some claim BW were toning down their female characters, to challenge beauty standards in gaming.

Either BW is doing things like this on purpose or their animators are comically bad. I think it's latter. Dead eyes, shiny amphibian skin, and a mouthful of cotton.

I was wondering which one was the goth for quite a bit until I noticed the shiny black pants and depressed expression on no. 4. :lol:

Also, the plant lover is definitely no. 5. Dude's higher than a motherfucker.

PAD has some really messy designs. Looking at Jabberwock confuses me.

I only just noticed he has a chess theme and feet.

Halloween Kali. WTF is going on with those boobs? Kanna has the same issue in some of her evolutions. This game has some truly horrifying boobies.
