Why do Disney princesses look like Disney princesses in the first place, then?Maybe i'm dumb, but i don't understand why female protagonists must necessarily resemble Disney princesses.
Little girls are supposed to see them as role models, be inspired by them, “identify” with them.
Very curious, then, that those princesses are abso-fucking-lutely attractive, all of them, no matter what shit they’re going through, no matter what camera angle you see them through.
Why, then, should a video game woman NOT look like a Disney princess? Good question, innit?
Maybe - just maybe - it’s because, no matter what the narrative tries to tell you, a game like Horizon is still mostly a male gamer’s interest (and that’s bad! bad!) and that means that a female character will be subject to the infamous demeaning male gaze (which also happens to be bad! bad!).
