Western devs can't make an attractive male design. That's why I only play games from Japanese devs that make pretty boys like Alphinaud from Final Fantasy XIV

Androgynous elves gotta be one of my favourite genders

How to make a pretty boy, apparently, make girl, flat chest, put in suit

Wait until you find out about the shojo hot guys

Don't forget "Give them an identical badass twin sister".

Who is secretly another boy

This but unironically.

Fuck Sony Dads.

"Fuck Sony Dads"?

I'd love to but they're unfortunately not real 😞

The Dutch Giant once cosplayed as Kratos, so maybe that could kinda count?

Okay, like, I can like an aging Sony dad AND think all this pearl-clutching and hand wringing about "wokism ruining games" just because Ciri could actually arm wrestle me and drink me under a table is bonkers. It's not Ciri's fault that she can achieve a level of badass that these chuds can only imagine.

Blue Alisiae is a good character.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Why did you post a picture of Allisae in your comment about Alphinaud?

Spoken like someone who has never seen Theodin Marcell

I'm like, pretty sure she's just parodying of how people treated Aloy. There were a lot of posts like this pointing out facial hair and such.

They've moved onto Ciri now for Witcher 4. Mad that the character doesn't look like a teenager now that she's aged into her 30s.

I don't know who Selma is, but that's my takeaway as well.

Sick of morons using the word woke.

The right pic looks like fucking hot garbage but i guess that was probably the point right?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 weeks ago

It looks exactly like what you'd get if you asked stable diffusion to create an image of a generic white male.

She's parodying this type of tweet:

Folks, this is obviously satire… like, come on.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah but G*mers aren't smart enough to realise that.

Joel was always a himbo trapped in the post apocalypse, they just set him free

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

He could break my neck with his bare hands anytime 🤤

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Would and proud of it.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 weeks ago

You guys are cooked if you can't tell this is satire

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 weeks ago

Make video games gay again!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 weeks ago

They turned him into Zac Efron

Somebody do one with a non-Caucasian character that they change to Caucasian male. But don’t point it out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago

thanks I hate it

Hot damn, no soft feminine shoulders there, no sir!

some modern female video game protagonists have some amount of chin, which indicates that they’re real and believable, and thus not meant for an audience of gamergate incels. the incels are outraged by it.

DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) is a buzzphrase right wingers scream whenever someone with an uncomfortable amount of color in their skin or a woman makes it to a high position. they mean to say that the position is undeserved, that they only got it out of pity or quotas and not out of competence or merit.

combine the two and you get a female protagonist with a normal body that isn’t built to be a sex object for incels who doesn’t deserve the position she has.

"Jaw too big" is a VERY common gamer incel complaint for female characters. It was especially silly with the recent Silent Hill 2 remake, where they were complaining about Maria's appearance which is based off her voice actress.

That is a stunning lady.

People come in all shapes and sizes, and you're all unique and beautiful.

Be you, there's only one of you.

Lmfao that's just Clive from ff16

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

That's the guy from Resident Evil
