Maxim Korea released a video on their YouTube channel (1.01M subscribers) in response to the recent IGN France's controversial critics on Eve's body shape in upcoming Korean game Stellar Blade.



In the video, the host says:

What is a realistic body type? Defining "realistic " may be difficult, but there was a recent incident criticized for an "unrealistic" body type. IGN France reviewed the demo of Korea's game Stellar Blade, stating the character Eve appears bland, like a doll created with an exaggerated sexual aspect by someone who's never seen a woman.

However, as some of you know, the character Eve in this game was modeled after Shin Jae-eun, a Maxim cover model. Can a character modeled after a real person's body be called unrealistic? Does it make sense to call a body based on a real person unrealistic? Does this make sense? It's another issue related to political correctness we've been hearing a lot about these days.

Therefore, to educate that Shin Jae-eun's body is indeed realistic and exisits in reality, we've decided to re-release the video of Shin Jae-eun's photoshoot. [...] this time, it's made available with subtitles in English, Japanese, Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hindi, so more people worldwide can watch it.

LMFAO, I do apologize on spamming on the topics but the Koreans are roasting the woketards so fucking hard and I know you love to see it.

What a glorious way to fire shots.

 

[Xtib81]

The same that complain about her body, like the IGN guy, probably jerk off on onlyfans or watch some weird anime porn daily..

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Eves actual model is hot af and they cant handle it. And yet where is the outrage for good looking buff dudes in media? Isn’t that also “unrealistic”? Such a dumb topic, this is the most brainrot section of the “woke” debate

 

[ULTROS!]

probably because America/West can’t comprehend that women in Asia have bodies like that… and they’re used to their own ones.

Heck when I see modern American people, I’m like “are those bodies even real”?

When these Western far-left loons say her body is not realistic, I think what they're really communicating, albeit unknowingly, is that they mean it's an unrealistic goal for most Western women. They're trying to rage against the idealistic body beauty standard prevalent in entertainment until 5 minutes ago. They hate seeing it because it reminds them of how obese, how lazy and undisciplined they've become as a society. So they want to remove any imagery of it from entertainment, particularly media popular with Western boys because they hold the misguided belief that if they change what boys see in games, comics, movies and TV, from slim, fit & healthy, sexy and voluptuous bodies to the obese whales that increasingly represents western women today (particularly the woke slobs), they will reprogram them to find those more "realistic" bodies more attractive.... unfortunate for them, it won't work and men will always be more attracted to slim, fit and healthy female bodies.

Clearly, Asia doesn't have nearly the levels of obesity as the west does, so Asian women will not feel so threatened by seeing body types like this in games; not that even Western women should either, because the purpose of gaming is escapism, not to provide a standard for society to live up to.

What a glorious way to fire shots.

This was more than firing shots. They just unloaded a battleship on IGN France and all the butthurt western wokies who can’t stand that women can actually be sexy.

 

[TheTony316]

Based Koreans.

 

[Fredrik]

I’m surprised it’s France IGN that are doing this witchhunt, I thought France had a healthy and fairly attractive population Even up in the snowy viking lands I see bodies similar to that every single day and even more ”unrealistic” ones. I think that IGN guy really just need to go outside.

 

[Red5]

It's very realistic and achievable, they're just too lazy to get off their fat asses to get that body type, that's why they started the whole fat pride campaign or that they don't have to satisfy the male gaze.

 

[solidus12]

I love sexy women, but Eve’s model is heavily enhanced with implants. We need to be honest about that.

 

[eerik9000]

Excuse me, maybe I am stupid, but wasn't Eve born and raised on a different planet than Earth? Do we really know how human bodies would evolve in other environments?

 

[FeralEcho]

It's hard for these lunatics to understand that attractive sexy women are real when the average american woman looks like this.

Eve is like the Matrix to them.Unfathomable.

 

[Borowski_1]

Yeah this is a thing of beauty. Is this increasing suicide rates in women yet IGN? What an idiotic wacko statement

Maxim literally killing women confirmed.

I know IRL girls that have or had (in their prime) bodies like that, it's not even a rare thing, but I appreciate their clarification anyway, the video has some great Korean waifu material

 

[FunkMiller]

None of this is about what’s realistic or not in women’s body shapes. Not really.

It’s about attacking straight dudes.

That IGN guy wrote that article as a giant fuck you to an entire gender and sexuality.

And the worst part is he’s probably a straight dude himself, who’s desperate to be popular with the terminally online and terminally outraged, just because his livelihood depends on keeping them happy. It’s sad, desperate and pathetic.

There are people who have built up such huge resentment to popular culture being geared towards straight dudes for so many years, that we now have to go through this bullshit so they can get their ‘revenge’.

Them, and all the cretins like this cucked dude, are going to shout themselves hoarse, and then maybe we can get back to normal.

 

[Fart Knight]

Just ship your product and ignore all the SJW crap that we have to deal with here in the West.

 

[Venom Snake]

Ah yes Maxim, the memories..

 

[Hohenheim]

I'm so tired of hearing about this game. Or, the body "features" in this game.

The only thing more boring than hearing the mad and hysteric reactions to the "dangerous" boobs and asses in games, is having to hear about people defending it on top.

I love some of the enemy designs in the demo! People should talk more about the awesome designs in there.

I very hype for this game but I agree, I’m really getting sick of this whole controversy discussions.

It’s not like this the first time we are getting Asian game with sexy design but that’s all people are talking about.

I played demo the combat really fun with cool ass enemy designs but we barely talk about those.

Or get hyped by BG3’s bear sex.

 

[SJRB]

The average jumbo sized American looks more unrealistic to me than the slim Korean physique.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

One thing is being trolled by users on Twitter. Whole another level is to being trolled by an entire South Korea.

Way to go, lads!

 

[peish]

This shit is so strange. Beastiality, no woke western media gave a hate boner.

You can find lunatics and idiots in every country. No need to overthink it

But if we didn't have people defending this stuff then we might not get it at all. Sometimes we have to take the bad with the good.

 

[Gojiira]

Goddamn she’s gorgeous…But yeah calling a character modelled on a real person ‘unrealistic’ is beyond retarded.
Thank lord it seems attitudes are changing somewhat about character designs. Even in general it seems people are finally pushing back against all this Woke,DEI Marxist crap

 

[midnightAI]

Exactly, and also...

Thread is boring then don't post in thread, easy to ignore.

Lunchtime for IGN France.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I love sexy women, but Eve’s model is heavily enhanced with implants. We need to be honest about that.

Sure, but there's plenty of completely natural Korean women that look just as good without any implants. Let's be honest about that.

 

[deeptech]

I just love this, love how being true and down to earth, frank and honest pushes some people so hard, their images being shattered to pieces. It may actually do some good to many delusional ones, as nobody could wish the mentality in question on anyone. Anyhow, yesterday I saw a girl IRL with a behind even greater, so idk how can someone say beautifully shaped women don't exist.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

That's a national dish.

 

[Bernardougf]

I love sexy women, but Eve’s model is heavily enhanced with implants. We need to be honest about that.

As a plastic surgeon I can say I fully support her breast "realism"

On a more technical note I can say with confidence that given the shape, size and naturalness of her actual breats that IF she has implants they were pretty complementary to an already existing beautiful natural breast only to boost size purposes. As it is they are very natural looking and not so much "artificial".

 

[Heisenberg007]

I don't understand what she is saying, but I'd completely agree with whatever it is.

 

[systemr123]

What bodies are you talking about? All I see when I see modern audience American people are fat rolls. There’s nothing human about these bodies anymore.

God bless the current Asian female shape, try to see some 80’s 90’s tv shows etc. Everyone in USA was like that once too. Hell, almost no one in the world was either fat or obese, except in a tiny number of countries where being fat was seen as being a rich and wealthy person.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

It’s tiring, yes, but I understand people thinking that a lot hinges on SB’s success.

Remember, it’s a PS console exclusive. PS hasn’t been a haven for this kind of imagery for a few years now.

If *ahem* some people didn’t make such a huge fuss about it, there would be no need for such a backlash and we’d be interested in discussing the game’s other merits more,

 

[Saber]

Based.

I hope the following years we have dishes like that served more frequently. I want the age of "gaming journalism" over. They contribute to nothing in game space and an AI would do a better job than them, if one can considered writting rants and crap a job.

Eh it's more like, "this body is realistic, if you are willing to do tons of surgery to fix every thing people might see as a flaw" which can indeed get unhealthy.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

That is true alpha male move on the part of little dick Asians.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I have seen almost zero discussion about this game that doesn't revolve around how fuckable the main character and/or defending how fuckable the main character is. It's too thirsty.
