It's not even just that. They even change the faces to be less feminine these days.
I mean....even this comment is part of the problem.
You make something "too feminine" = bad.
You make something "less feminine" = bad.
Or, or just hear me out, let creators make their games in peace and make your own designs if you want or don't want some specific thing. The issue is attacking artist in general for making something more or less of something.
So they "change" the faces is moot, as a concept artist, when I use reference i change many things..... Some of you literally believe the default should be a clone, carbon copy, 1.1 exact model of the reference, it can be that, it doesn't mean by default it "should" be that, it simply means its a fucking option, not a requirement, not some law and not some default thing and not a conspiracy cause something was changed. Its a moot point, 99% of reference in art is changed to fit something, as in I want her eye brows, I want this other persons nose and I want this other persons figure etc.
Think...this.
What is happening is on purpose, not because its a conspiracy, because they are purposely seeking a few things from a reference they like to add on to the thing they are thinking about in their heads, thus moot. So when I hear the word "change" used this way, it tries to make it sound like something odd, strange, out of the ordinary etc is happening, yet that is a moot point as a concept arts most times is using part of a reference for something vs 1.1 copying. (keep in mind, if that isn't want you mean, disregard, i wouldn't want to assume that you mean that btw)
In your defense, many times an actor is used and little is changed. Until Dawn.
what would have resulted from this guys politics is a more boring character design that people simply wouldn't have cared about as much.
In fact people would instantly see through that decision and it would turn them right off the game.
I actually disagree
keep in mind, look at
kruis
example. For fuck sakes you can't even tell. So if you add dem mosquito bite tits, oh everyone was going to see thru that and see it was a political thing? The fuck? So...the norm is for them to have no tits? Sir....if you told me this fox had tits, I was only then going to notice, so I find it very hard to believe "people would instantly see through that decision" no the fuck the wouldn't and I don't even get HOW anyone puts political correlation to that.
So I agree that this person is a moron and that no one is fucking being harmed by this..... but understand what I'm saying here....I also agree that no harm would come from dem tit bumps added. Females be having boobs lol
Thats not a deep political thing as much as thing guy or you ironically are trying to make it sound like. I think this guy simply had a disagreement and took it waaaaaay too far.
Look at it like this, we disagree sometimes, we agree lots of times, but shit if we worked together and had this debate, we'd put it to a vote and I'd move on vs "well....time to leave cause da feelings" lol
People need to fucking stop equating every fucking design choice with some political chess move lol
Think about this man, could this fellow not argue "they wanted to ADD BOOBS to the fox, wooooow over sexual and of COURSE They'd want that" and then cry. BOTH SIDES argue some crap like this and make it sound like its some chess move by the other side. First boobs is bad and now boobs is good lol My god, some of the people who were arguing about females having gains, now out here arguing about the fox almost having boobs......
So if they want them to be more female with boobs = bad
So if they want them to have gains and muslces etc = bad lol
This is a great example of just letting the director direct. For fuck sakes, the GAME DIRECTOR wanted them boobz, they ultimately sided with the lead character designer and trusted their input. Fuck, if THEY can stay with the company and get over it, I'm sure this guy can too. They over reacted and I don't know how they can stop the "harm" if they are also not at the design table at that company anymore. I don't believe this was a hill to die on.
It was fox boobz.

"As much as I liked Rivet, I cant help but think that politics kept the story from being a bit more interesting" I see zero evidence of this.
"It's almost like they didnt even want any kind of
sexual tension building between the two of them" Its almost as if this game is rated E..... I see no evidence that such a choice was a poltical one and more so based on....well the game is rated E.
