In Antinomy, when Tenshi loses through a time out, she sits down like this, dejectedly.
The commentary says that if we were to look at her from the front as she does that, we'd be able to see her panties.
I would not call that a gameplay mechanic.... that is more reserved for an action or cause and effect directly referring to a mechanic in a game. It is a reference so Antinomy of common flowers should replace it and it has been done before to boot.
