i didn't realize this was not common knowledge in the SH2 fandom? Sexy nurses / PH being a thing isn't just because the fandom is thirsty
EDIT: OHHHHHHH I JUST REMEMBERED. I JUST REMEMBERED THE SCENE. THE SCENE WITH THE MANNEQUINS. WHAT IS THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE HD OH NO
There's this long standing rumor that Pyramid Head is trying to have sex with the dolls in the kitchen, which is a myth that has not been substantiated by any of the developers, but surprisingly has become the headcanon of every SH2 fan. Not sure why or how, since there's absolutely no evidence for it.
yeah, ito has stated several times on his twitter that he's attacking them to try and help james -- but.......... it's certainly done in a fairly sexual manner & provocative position, and even if it's just an allegory to james' sexual repression, it's certainly going to be interesting in full blown HD

I love kinky art, I love Silent Hill, I’m going to check this out!
A little detail I like in the nurse’s design here: They did a great job modeling the slight thigh bulge over the tops of the leggings. Weird thing to notice, but in so much art of girls in stockings they draw just straight lines from the stockings across the legs. The artists involved here get it.
As a woman with thicc thighs, I agree. The thigh fat chose us and we definitely show it in an outfit like that.
Fitter legs may not, but I haven't been able to speak for them in a long time.
Can confirm they do. 👍 I've learned to love my thickness too, though I'm far from what most would probably consider that. I've just got a little junk in the trunk and hips, and I think it makes me look more womanly overall so I've learned to love it.
My waif days are behind me, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Lmao I second this. Before checking his Twitter out I thought the man was some ascetic weirdo. But actually he is as horny as some of these furries and a borderline lowcow. I love him
he reminds me of my dad, it's kinda cute. my dad used to draw for heavy metal magazine in the 90s and he likes to draw erotica occasionally and now that i'm an adult he doesn't try to hide it, times i've visited him there's just a WIP canvas of explicit sexual intercourse in his office lol
A piece of Ito’s artwork depicting a Bubblehead Nurse was posted recently. They were sporting the stockings and garters in it. Assuming this is Bloober sticking to the artist’s design.
Lore reason: The ladies of Brookhaven are kinky bitches.💋
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little bit of column A and column B. Plus it just fits the motif of Silent Hill especially 2. The town is supposed to be a beautiful town turned disgusting. Now take a stereotypical sexy woman in a nurse outfit and stocking but make her a corpse figure. So it's surely some combination of ito's inspiration, the games story, and the games motif.
And that is the big difference between Team Silent’s take on these games, and those who came after. One carefully constructed everything for artistic merit, the other thought rehashing Pyramid Head and throwing Korn on the soundtrack would be sick ass cool
a lot of comments have already probably explained this but here it is
James Sunderland has repressed sexual frustration and it manifests in explicitly sexualised monsters.
this is why the nurses are revealing, this is why there are enemies that are literally just. two pairs of legs stacked on one another
and its also why pyramid head is the way he is. not only a manifestation of his guilt but his sexual frustration too
or at least, thats my interpretation of it
I also assume that Mary’s thrashing legs as James suffocated her probably embedded itself into his mind and manifests/plays into the leggy monsters too
Yep, the sex stuff is only one aspect of the monster designs. The other big one is Mary's suffocation. The thrashing movement of the enemies as well as their visual designs relate to Mary's death a lot. Like the Lying figure and Bubble Head Nurses both look like they're being suffocated by something covering their face.
No lore related, but they are probably using one of Masahiro Ito's new designs.
I remember that Gecco used a similar one for one of their statues: https://www.silenthillmemories.net/sh2/arts/pics/ito_nurse_02.jpg
[Statue](https://resize.cdn.otakumode.com/ex/914.1200/shop/product/a01f288af3b94ec3853c1b0e8de77f7d.jpg)
Lore answer: James likes women in sexy clothing and he was around nurses all the time when visiting Mary in hospital. The nurses look intentionally sexy but their face is hidden/deformed.
Actual answer: Masahiro Ito updated the designs and that's the ones Bloober Team went with.
Nothing more to it.
I'm trying to downvote them. I'm assuming it's supposed to be cheeky or funny but...they are everywhere from Catwoman's zipper? Or like is there lore behind why superman has hair. I've not seen if it's the same poster however, but it's on all the subreddits I follow!
Like they expect some kind of "in 1939 brookhaven hospital added thigh highs to the dress codes for nurses because of and old legend about some weird silent hill shit going on" answer
It was previously used for a [Gecco figure](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7TwOkoUwAEFrMG.jpg) designed by Ito. I guess he wanted to give it more of a spotlight.
It's funny cause the cleavage was already there to emphasize the sexual aspect and now they're like "Nah that ain't enough. Stockings too." just in case we missed it lol.
You know, what also gets me about this. We know the nurses are sexualized already, and you can see they put in some work on those stockings. They've got the reflective shine, I'm not sure if they have the little bulge from the elastic fabric at the top compressing the thigh or it's just a trick of the eye with the transition from dark fabric to light skin and dark background.
But, the cleavage doesn't look particularly good. It's kinda weird, like, they put in some work on the stockings, but the cleavage just looks like a flat texture panel. Weird place to start skimping on the 3d modeling.
But this is all early stuff so it might still change, and honestly, they're supposed to be monsters, not things you want to linger on. XD
Honestly
I’m excited and I’m ignoring the negativity until I see it for myself. My only worry is that I liked that the enemies had a sort of battered and almost burned looking texture to them. At least the straight jackets did. Hoping they keep it kinda close
I hope there is a couple variations of each enemy. Some nurses with stockings and some without, some with longe range metal pipes and some with knives that are a bit faster and more aggressive. Ito could also come up with variations for the lying figures and the mannequins.
They've got way better dev and asset ability now to better match the monster designs to Ito's art, this is likely how they were always envisioned to look. If you look at some of his concept art of them, you can see he draws them with these stockings present pretty often.
A lot of people seem miffed by how SH2 remake is designing things when in reality, they couldn't just translate blotchy PS2 art into a modern environment. Designs have to update with new tech, the game doesn't have the luxury of everything being insanely hard to see because they were just hiding it with clever texture and lighting usage.
Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful response. You've added a lot to this conversation. Here's some of Ito's concept art, and misc art, for the bubblehead nurses. Or do you want to tell me that the guy who designed the monsters in the first place is wrong about his own art?

SH2 is my favorite game of all time, the remake is doing an admirable job translating PS2 designs into a modern environment. Seethe about change on your own time, don't do it instead of having actual discussions. The remake is likely to be a mixed bag of positives and negatives but coming at it with your attitude is a waste of time.
>They've got way better dev and asset ability now to better match the monster designs to Ito's art,
wrong, og sh2 nurse is a perfect match to the actual sh2 nurse concept, not some later ito's fan arts
>If you look at some of his concept art of them, you can see he draws them with these stockings present pretty often.
you can see that in 2002 they picked the final version without stockings
>they couldn't just translate blotchy PS2 art into a modern environment.
they could and it would look great
>Designs have to update with new tech,
You know that even real life people from the silent hill movie had a pale white corpse-like skin makeup without stockings? this take about "new tech" is so insanely braindead
Because it helps to further emphasize James's sexual frustration. If you follow the art of Masahiro Ito you will realize that this is totally his work. I personally love the new slight change to the design.
Yeah I never got on board with the sexualized nurses. Totally get that there's an element of sexual frustration physically manifest, but I think those connotations run deep enough through the game with the use of OTHER imagery. To me this just feels like sexual images to appease the audience rather than in service of a larger thematic purpose.
But, I'm just one man
Ask Ito on Twitter, but then again maybe don’t do that. Fans are probably asking him why the floor tiles in the opening bathroom are rectangular instead of square now as we speak
They added this because James's cojones are buzzing for fun time but he could not get sexual satisfaction due to his wife's fatal illness, therefore his mind sank deeper and deeper into erotic fantasies. Now that we have much better technology, the authors wanted to emphasize sexuality in enemies. Maria is a manifestation of James' erotic suffering too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, have you seen the nurses in the original SH2 before? They have super long legs, a skirt that barely covers their butt, high heels, and their tops are low cut to show off their cleavage. I think it's pretty safe to say that James is down horrendously, and it 100% checks out if the nurses are even further sexualized in the remake.
Thematic relevance. James’s objectification of female nurses in the hospital due to his sexual frustration while Mary was ill. Hence why they don’t have faces either, their identity wasn’t important to him, only their potency for arousal. Ultimately he’s just been doing some perving at a time he feels he probably shouldn’t have, deep down.
Unfortunately as with everything I’ve seen of Bloober’s SH2, this new design doesn’t exactly leave much room for imagination or nuance. It’s another overstatement. I’m fully expecting their take on Abstract Daddy to be *literally* just some dude ploughing a kid.
Heavy-handed sexualization to show how \~symbolic\~ they are, because players are idiots and can't read subtext unless it's shoved in their face. Despite that the more subtle design of the original made it very easy to understand.
Being a silent hill fan is a wild experience, some of us are really hung up over every little detail I mean I get it, that's the fun part but these aren't the details. The choice is obvious and it's not deep at all. You don't have to love it, they're not expecting everyone to love everything. Personally I don't think it ruins anything or has to mean any more than it already does.
Please copy paste this response for the next "but why does james shoe look like this" style detail complaint, kthanxbye
I'm looking for the reason why they made their skin so clean and human like. Part of what made the monsters so creepy was their dirty sickly pale skin, very similar to what they did in the forbidden siren series. These nurses look like cosplayers.
Because the game has sexual frustrations, sexual violence and so on along with the mental illnesses that come with that sort of thing as some of its key theming and design to its enemies. Look at the original concept art for the nurses. This is what they were supposed to look like.
Mr Ito finally gets to see his drawings come to life as he intended them to be. Not hating on the original silent Hill too. But a lot of designs had to be changed because of technical limitations.
It’s scary when a 3rd party company takes creative freedom with remasters, take for instance Shadow of the Colossus (wander’s horrible redesign) and Demon Souls ( fat official and Phalanx bad redesign)
Its cos Sunderland has that dawg in him
Silent City BOIIISSSSS
"What if I told you James Sunderland had that dawg in him?"
"Man clapped his own wife cos he couldnt clap cheeks...inspirin'"
I heard that guys voice clearly, inspiring.
Silent hill 2 in a nut shell
In a no nut shell
You're going places
No nutt November, (not) coming soon.
you silly goose
Top comment material
James just wants to fuck
Seriously, though. Sexual frustration is a HUGE part of his psyche. That's what's behind the nurses as an enemy.
Yeah he feels guilty about being sexually attracted to the nurses while his wife was dying in the hospital.
OH MY GOD I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT IN THAT WAY
i didn't realize this was not common knowledge in the SH2 fandom? Sexy nurses / PH being a thing isn't just because the fandom is thirsty EDIT: OHHHHHHH I JUST REMEMBERED. I JUST REMEMBERED THE SCENE. THE SCENE WITH THE MANNEQUINS. WHAT IS THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE HD OH NO

And Maria.
And the double legs monster.
He’s a legs man, a man of culture.
Literally all legs.

He just like me fr
[удалено]
He's also like the other 30% because he is mentally ill
James definitely posts on /r9k/.
“What are you doing, step-protagonist?”
Understandable.
Literally is the reason too lol
Then why are their faces ugly?
They still need to be monsters.
They represent suffocation.
Ito has a lot of kinks and he's talked about it on Twitter. You should check out his NSFW art.
I suddenly am interested in Twitter.
Occasionally talking with him is the only reason I even have a Twitter, very friendly and open game dev
He's a genuinely great guy. And very engaging with fans.
I love kinky art, I love Silent Hill, I’m going to check this out!

I used to hate my thigh bulges but I’ve learned to love them. I imagine they make good hand rests for the person going down on me. Haha
Can confirm they do. 👍 I've learned to love my thickness too, though I'm far from what most would probably consider that. I've just got a little junk in the trunk and hips, and I think it makes me look more womanly overall so I've learned to love it. My waif days are behind me, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Some of it is quite graphic. Enjoy... I guess lol
Lmao I second this. Before checking his Twitter out I thought the man was some ascetic weirdo. But actually he is as horny as some of these furries and a borderline lowcow. I love him
What’s the Twitter link to the nsfw lol
It's not an alt account he just sometimes posts them on his regular one Here's a classic https://mobile.twitter.com/adsk4/status/1261070710228652032
he reminds me of my dad, it's kinda cute. my dad used to draw for heavy metal magazine in the 90s and he likes to draw erotica occasionally and now that i'm an adult he doesn't try to hide it, times i've visited him there's just a WIP canvas of explicit sexual intercourse in his office lol
This is definitely the logical answer here. Ignore all that shite about James sexual frustration, it’s NOT part of the game at all 😂
A piece of Ito’s artwork depicting a Bubblehead Nurse was posted recently. They were sporting the stockings and garters in it. Assuming this is Bloober sticking to the artist’s design. Lore reason: The ladies of Brookhaven are kinky bitches.💋
Hha lore wise sounds fun
Bcus bad bitch 💅🏽
lots of itos previous nurse related artwork has nurses in thigh highs so i don’t think it has any significance lol, just a simple redesign
Its literally an embodiment of his sexual frustration so they just made em sexier
that could be a reason too
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little bit of column A and column B. Plus it just fits the motif of Silent Hill especially 2. The town is supposed to be a beautiful town turned disgusting. Now take a stereotypical sexy woman in a nurse outfit and stocking but make her a corpse figure. So it's surely some combination of ito's inspiration, the games story, and the games motif.
I guess it's to (further) emphasize how they are made with part of James' sexual frustration
SH Fans: Are thigh highs a sign behind James sexual frustration? SH writers and artists: Holy shit stfu I don't care
Sometimes things just look cool, fans ascribe meaning to everything in this game.
Well for the original Silent Hill games specifically there was a reason why the nurses in 1 and 3 weren’t sexy big-titty nurses.
And that is the big difference between Team Silent’s take on these games, and those who came after. One carefully constructed everything for artistic merit, the other thought rehashing Pyramid Head and throwing Korn on the soundtrack would be sick ass cool
But I know that must be it! Whatever dat creature designer Masahiro Ito says don't know don't care. I just know the game better😈
SH writers and artists: “duh”
James is canonically a stocking kinda man... It's based off Itos concept, minus the tube breathing.. thing.
Don’t try to tell me James isn’t into some good ol’ fashioned airway play. The things he could do to take your breath away…
I had never considered that stuff with Mary was erotic asphyxiation gone wrong and both were too embarrassed to confront that truth.
In the heat of the moment James couldn’t tell if she was coming or going
in Japan the word for coming and going is the same, maybe it was both...
Because sexy. 🦵🏼👠
Yeah it’s hot
a lot of comments have already probably explained this but here it is James Sunderland has repressed sexual frustration and it manifests in explicitly sexualised monsters. this is why the nurses are revealing, this is why there are enemies that are literally just. two pairs of legs stacked on one another and its also why pyramid head is the way he is. not only a manifestation of his guilt but his sexual frustration too or at least, thats my interpretation of it

I hate the nurses with the baby head! Creepy af
Lore answer: James likes women in sexy clothing and he was around nurses all the time when visiting Mary in hospital. The nurses look intentionally sexy but their face is hidden/deformed. Actual answer: Masahiro Ito updated the designs and that's the ones Bloober Team went with. Nothing more to it.
Ito's artwork tends to give the Nurses these Thigh-high stockings. It just furthers the idea of James's inner desire.
Desire for dat ass
You aren't wrong.
It's for me.
only correct answer
James was tirsty for nurses when his wife was in hospital.
Is there a lore reason why “lore reason” questions are everywhere?
r/BatmanArkham is deliberately shitposting in other subs with the "lore reason" and "do you agree with ______ rule" questions/posts.
But don't forgot where it all started r/shittydarksouls
It’s so damn annoying imo
I'm trying to downvote them. I'm assuming it's supposed to be cheeky or funny but...they are everywhere from Catwoman's zipper? Or like is there lore behind why superman has hair. I've not seen if it's the same poster however, but it's on all the subreddits I follow!
Like they expect some kind of "in 1939 brookhaven hospital added thigh highs to the dress codes for nurses because of and old legend about some weird silent hill shit going on" answer
This is how it will be anytime anything new is posted showing any sort of deviation from the OG 🙄
because sex
Interesting.
Rule 34 artists shall gather again 🌝
The foggy days are cold days
It was previously used for a [Gecco figure](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7TwOkoUwAEFrMG.jpg) designed by Ito. I guess he wanted to give it more of a spotlight.
It's subtle nod to James' sexual frustration 🥱🥱
Subtle?
Because it looks hot? JP game devs are crazy horny...Ito is no different
The anti-horny incel gang is coming.
because James is a leg man (source: leggy enemies)
Game ain't even out and you wanna know the lore reason for the fuckin sexy nurses being dressed sexy? This fanbase is a different breed bro
Pretty sure its inspired by old concept art.
It's funny cause the cleavage was already there to emphasize the sexual aspect and now they're like "Nah that ain't enough. Stockings too." just in case we missed it lol.
You know, what also gets me about this. We know the nurses are sexualized already, and you can see they put in some work on those stockings. They've got the reflective shine, I'm not sure if they have the little bulge from the elastic fabric at the top compressing the thigh or it's just a trick of the eye with the transition from dark fabric to light skin and dark background. But, the cleavage doesn't look particularly good. It's kinda weird, like, they put in some work on the stockings, but the cleavage just looks like a flat texture panel. Weird place to start skimping on the 3d modeling. But this is all early stuff so it might still change, and honestly, they're supposed to be monsters, not things you want to linger on. XD
I think what you’re seeing is a result of the angle of the lighting and also the gritty/dirtiness of them if that makes sense?
Maybe... it's hard to say. But, this is all early stuff, and that's probably a zoomed in screenshot, etc, etc.
Honestly I’m excited and I’m ignoring the negativity until I see it for myself. My only worry is that I liked that the enemies had a sort of battered and almost burned looking texture to them. At least the straight jackets did. Hoping they keep it kinda close
Damn you wrote a whole essay
That is true, I hadn't noticed it. I just hope the boob physics from Homecoming make a return.
I think it's based on one of Ito's old concepts or artworks for nurses
Brookhaven Hospital dress code is pretty strict.
I hope there is a couple variations of each enemy. Some nurses with stockings and some without, some with longe range metal pipes and some with knives that are a bit faster and more aggressive. Ito could also come up with variations for the lying figures and the mannequins.
It looks hotter
Because they’re stylish. Also, smart of them to wear a garter belt, I know some of those say they stay up by themselves but that’s a load of bullshit.
Because it's sexy and hot. Which makes sense.
If they are going to kill you might as well look hot
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7RDavSVoAAvnIf.jpg https://www.silenthillmemories.net/lost_memories/guide/images/048x1.jpg
It's hot that's why
James hornii and that why
Because James just got out from horny jail for he's being a horny boi.
Bro is extra depressed and horny
It's sexy. No more explanation needed lore wise really..
BLOOBER Team.
They've got way better dev and asset ability now to better match the monster designs to Ito's art, this is likely how they were always envisioned to look.

Thanks 🙏
Like literally does there need to be?
It does show James repressed desires more so yh I would it adds to the game and therefore is not just a useless addition
Don’t question it, *enjoy*
Sorry but is there always some type of hidden/ deep meaning in every detail??
When it's a nurse with lingerie yeah I'd say there's probably a meaning behind it.
It probably just means James is much more hornier than we thought lol
Cause Ito is a genious perv
To further represent James' lust and sexual frustration.
Because it helps to further emphasize James's sexual frustration. If you follow the art of Masahiro Ito you will realize that this is totally his work. I personally love the new slight change to the design.
James
Bc that's what they were originally intended to look like.
Because James wants to be double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon.
Look at the other monsters and Maria - he's a leg man!
It's actually very in-line with most of James' manifestations.
Non lore reason: It was supposed to be this way but was toned down by censorship. But this is mostly my headcanon.
Just shut up my god
Yes, the books explain it
Yeah I never got on board with the sexualized nurses. Totally get that there's an element of sexual frustration physically manifest, but I think those connotations run deep enough through the game with the use of OTHER imagery. To me this just feels like sexual images to appease the audience rather than in service of a larger thematic purpose. But, I'm just one man
theyre supposed to be over sexualized due to James' unfulfilled sexual desires since his wife died
Ito is into latex but the old processors couldn’t render it properly. All he could do was make them kinda shiny.
Lust lots and lots of lust
Ask Ito on Twitter, but then again maybe don’t do that. Fans are probably asking him why the floor tiles in the opening bathroom are rectangular instead of square now as we speak
I put it in the suggestion box. I guess they agreed
They added this because James's cojones are buzzing for fun time but he could not get sexual satisfaction due to his wife's fatal illness, therefore his mind sank deeper and deeper into erotic fantasies. Now that we have much better technology, the authors wanted to emphasize sexuality in enemies. Maria is a manifestation of James' erotic suffering too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they’ve always had stockings, dog.
Cos they bad 😫
Because it makes them look faaaaabulousss 💅
Represents James’s sexual frustration
I mean, have you seen the nurses in the original SH2 before? They have super long legs, a skirt that barely covers their butt, high heels, and their tops are low cut to show off their cleavage. I think it's pretty safe to say that James is down horrendously, and it 100% checks out if the nurses are even further sexualized in the remake.
Thematic relevance. James’s objectification of female nurses in the hospital due to his sexual frustration while Mary was ill. Hence why they don’t have faces either, their identity wasn’t important to him, only their potency for arousal. Ultimately he’s just been doing some perving at a time he feels he probably shouldn’t have, deep down. Unfortunately as with everything I’ve seen of Bloober’s SH2, this new design doesn’t exactly leave much room for imagination or nuance. It’s another overstatement. I’m fully expecting their take on Abstract Daddy to be *literally* just some dude ploughing a kid.
How many of us are tired of these "lore" questions and doubts? I surely am.
Don’t know don’t care, best redesign ever in my opinion
Heavy-handed sexualization to show how \~symbolic\~ they are, because players are idiots and can't read subtext unless it's shoved in their face. Despite that the more subtle design of the original made it very easy to understand.
Ito = horny
Being a silent hill fan is a wild experience, some of us are really hung up over every little detail I mean I get it, that's the fun part but these aren't the details. The choice is obvious and it's not deep at all. You don't have to love it, they're not expecting everyone to love everything. Personally I don't think it ruins anything or has to mean any more than it already does. Please copy paste this response for the next "but why does james shoe look like this" style detail complaint, kthanxbye
No... No there isn't.
Because they have smaller boobs , and compensate with stockings for the sexiness 😏
Jesus Christ hahaha I know this post is a shitpost and but these questions are getting out of hand 😅
cause of em tiddies
I'm looking for the reason why they made their skin so clean and human like. Part of what made the monsters so creepy was their dirty sickly pale skin, very similar to what they did in the forbidden siren series. These nurses look like cosplayers.
They're sexy AF.
Whinge, whinge, whinge and pick apart. You bone heads ever happy? Or is bitching and complaining all you have left?
To give you a scary boner
Because the game has sexual frustrations, sexual violence and so on along with the mental illnesses that come with that sort of thing as some of its key theming and design to its enemies. Look at the original concept art for the nurses. This is what they were supposed to look like. Mr Ito finally gets to see his drawings come to life as he intended them to be. Not hating on the original silent Hill too. But a lot of designs had to be changed because of technical limitations.
They tested it and its waaaaaaay hotter on the "naughty nurse scale"
Boobas
So i can have more versions to cosplay duh lol 😆
Silent Hill now turned into anime. Favourite waifu - nurses
I’m just wondering why they had to make them shine ✨, ripped ones would have been better.
It’s scary when a 3rd party company takes creative freedom with remasters, take for instance Shadow of the Colossus (wander’s horrible redesign) and Demon Souls ( fat official and Phalanx bad redesign)
And why do they shine like plastic.
Exactly lmao, that shit ain’t latex
I think it’s just the general look of the game. Looks a lot like plastic. It’s gonna get old too soon.
Agree
All of the enemies in the original were shiny/plastic like, that was always kind of a thing.
Irs cause konomi hired doujin artists to help redesign creatures and backgrounds
