Honestly, in every video game, I see now, the character model that they base the actress on is fucking RUINED. They are literally not attractive at all. The faces just feel fucking off...

eventually...

this is what they based the character model on...

I'm getting Mass Effect Andromeda flashbacks...

Computer games firm Bioware accused of deliberately making female characters 'ugly'

GAMERS claim to have noticed something very strange about the much anticipated Mass Effect: Andromeda release. Fans have accused game developer Bioware of making all its female characters “ug…

Why are female characters in video games makes me want to throw up?

What the fuck is wrong with this industry? I dunno about you, but this is woke culture at work. They are lowering the bar on character models., forcibly making them unattractive.

Might as well put this fucking abomination...

Good thing for anime faces, at least the Japanese can't fuck up the faces colossally as western developers have already.

 

[mansoor1980]

oh dear

 

[THEAP99]

Cringe. Why do you want more characters to look like barbie dolls? Maybe gaming isn't for you anymore. There is far far FAR more to be worried about in the industry than if developers are catering to your fantasies created by porn addiction.

0.o i feel dirty for reading this

[bentanchorbolt]

Lmao shook.

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t care about this. This isn’t an issue.

 

[Max_Po]

WEAK

 

[jigglet]

I can’t stand pretty boy Japanese characters but on the other hand I don’t want every one to be gruff as hell. I agree OP I think there’s nothing wrong with beautiful people. I’m certainly not one so let me live the fantasy.

As long as there are enough straight while conservative males in the industry, I don't care.

 

[TranscendentDee]

"Unattractive" is such a huge overstatement. This isnt really an issue for me.

 

[EviLore]

What’s supposed to be the problem with that Lara update?

Its not really that they're doing a much as it is why they're doing it now.

Also screw the, "That's not how a real woman who fights robotic dinosaurs would look" argument.

Anime avatar… of course.

 

[VeganElduderino]

WayForward are my favorite Japanese developers.

I know we’re all feeling a little... manic while we wait for next-gen consoles to be restocked. I don’t think OP is gonna make it.

Honestly, we've already gone over this in at least two recent threads.

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Isn't this same cringey discussion literally going on in like two other threads right now? Your avatar isn't attractive and looks like she's 14.

This anti-woke crusade is getting way too incel-y. Ya'll need to stop, it's embarrassing to read.

I know people are grilling the OP, but we have to agree that there is a conscious effort to "dismantle" perceived feminine "stereotypes" in the west generally and the entertainment industry particularly. It is very ironic that feminists want to do away with "patriarchy" and spend their energies working toward this very goal, but deep down, they just want to be men and have their physical features while, again ironically, abandoning the thing that makes them unique, their femininity.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Also wouldn't the WoKe CuLtUrE sJw's be making the males ugly? All these dudes look like Chads.

 

[reksveks]

Weird poster posting weird thread

 

[kretos]

not sure which is worse, ppl who just want pretty characters to jerk off to, or the resetera clowns with "Why women criticise sexualised character designs"

Characters you don't find attractive ruin a game for you? Seems shallow. Theres so many beautiful women in the world and the fact that you don't find the ones in a game attractive and that ruins your enjoyment is sad.

This game is a bad example, EVERYONE looks ugly in it.

I get it kinda, at least a little. But why do you horndogs always end your posts talking about how sexy Japanese anime faces are? Not everyone is into 1000 year old children.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I agree with the sentiment, but we’ve had enough threads about this after the Horizon 2 State of play.

Naw Western media is just changing, you put too many hot people on screen and we say it looks too 'CWish' and its never said in a good way.
In a few more years US television will start to look like British television. Have you seen british television? hideous people everywhere.

Watch out my friend, I made similar comments in the other thread and was deleted and I was kicked out. I better not say what I think of that.

Wow....that op backfired hard very fast.

I dont like the resetera approach to gender and beauty standards in video games either, but your perspective is very weird. Life is not a model tv show and neither should be video games. All this instagram filter shit is driving young people to a very unhealthy body- and beauty image already. The world does not need you weird take on beauty in video games.
Chill, relax and simply enjoy video games.

Psssssss... I'll share with you a secret: sometimes it's just a case of unintentional bad character design and not the fruit of some secret political agenda aiming to change forever your fapping habits!
