What the hell do these people want in their games? Supermodels? Porn stars?

My guess would be they want both of those things. Related ice-cold take on the Horizon series:

It feels like ppl that post these takes have been watching too much hentai: giant tits that defy gravity, waists with no ribs, attracted to ugly bastards that just exist, etc.

I looked at BGrizzy1989's tweets so no one else has to, and hooboy. Pro-Trump, transphobic, anti-woke, fat-shaming. As one might expect, it takes a pretty gross human being to freak out about less-than-supermodel looks on a video game character.

Probably the same people that mod those games to make the female character to look like overinflated balloons. I looked for interesting Horizon mods recently and a stupid amount of them were Aloy "enhancements" that defy realism in any way.

Based on this image and a similar one I saw...it's makeup. They want female characters to wear makeup. They either don't know that makeup is what makes them, "hot," or they realized that it's stupid for a space outlaw or a robot-apocalypse survivalist to be wearing a full face of makeup, so they have to say they're ugly. Either way, these people don't fuck.

Yeah, it's all the same guys that inspired this meme.

LOL, yes, exactly. This is the kind of thing you learn about women when you have a girlfriend for more than a month. I think most of these guys don't realize they're telling on themselves when they complain about these, "ugly," characters.

Still prefer the right one though

The fact someone voted that down is hilarious. Some poor incel crying that the world doesn't work like they want. rofl

Ehh... third pic happened to me with a coworker a few years ago. I've never commented on or thought much about her make up, but one day she got to work and her lips were much paler than usual, so I asked her if she was ok and she told me she hadn't put on her makeup yet.

ah yes the very famous Nora tribe makeup and makeovers

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Hahaha the famous Nora dental plan

I love that the pic on the right looks uncomfortable. That’s a customer service smile, an “a man told me to smile and I don’t feel like fighting him right now” smile, a “the photographer is really creepy but this is my job” smile

And the one on the left is giving him the "why are you existing in my space" look.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah but I figure he didn’t specifically create that character model. His idea of a beautiful woman still looks miserable
