I am so sick of Woke Culture ruining video game character models!

I get the feeling that anyone who argues for the uglyfication of characters, are all sad bitter people, who feel better when everything around them is as ugly as themselves.

Strong heroic characters, give you something to admire, and strive to become yourself. You read Conan, and you see a handsome, heroic man. And you desire to become more like him, and strive to better yourself. But people who want everything ugly, they read it, and feel bad. They don't want to put in work and become a better person. They want all there characters to be as whiney, weak, and ugly as themselves, so they don't have to feel bad about themselves.

I must be the only one who thinks Aloy looks fine? I mean I'll be honest, shes not that pretty compared to a lot of Video Game women, but neither was Ellie from TLoU and she was great

I don't think it's related to woke, i think it just that westerners aren't as talented *not even close* as Japanese when it comes to design female characters. Unless i'm too naïve and they're actually really doing it in purpose? that would be the wackiest thing ever if so.

lmao this is even cringier than the OP.

I wish some of these "Alphas" that need their videogame ladies to be a 10 would post a picture of themselves or their significant other. I've got a feeling most of ya'll are at least double the weight of Alloy so

I agree with OP, half of the people are just white knighting and screeching buzzwords like incel.
The other half may be saying they don't care if the character isn't sexy but that's not what this is about. It is about the fact that developers are changing in game things to pander lunatics like those of resetera.

That is a stupid and dangerous thing to do.

The anti-woke brigade is becoming very cringy...things have slightly changed from what they were for 40+ years....try to adjust or get over it... or at least vote with your wallet (boycott), join the industry to make change, or start a petition or just sign one or something.

UGH. Just wait for FF XVI, where the characters look like dolls (unfinished designs?)...

I don't think "woke" culture has anything to do with this.

If every character part of the team was a super model i'd be bored and uninterested.

I just want to point out the ME Andromeda image is misleading. The shot of the make character is from an early trailer and not representative of the final game.

This is the problem with people getting their information from the internet and Twitter and shit.

That article literally has no merit to it. HOLY FUCk, one year later and people are still spreading bullshit Sausage Roll articles.


"The Last of Us Part II leaks are reported to come from a disgruntled Naughty Dog employee over a payment dispute. A source connected to the studio explained that, although they believe the leak came from an employee, it may be about a little more than a pay dispute.

“I don’t doubt, even for a moment, that this leak came from the studio. The Last of Us Part 2 is very divisive and, as you can imagine, some of the team aren’t really thrilled to be working on the game,” the source told Erina Rose moments after the gameplay footage leaked."

"The Last of Us Part II villains are allegedly homophobic Christians, so it is understandable that it would be very difficult for a Christian to work on the game."

Literally bullshit that was debunked a year ago, even by playing the game itself. Y'all got to get with the times and stop with this "agenda" nonsense the only agenda here is you being oblivious.

You have to respond to the idea not the person.
I'm not going to sit around and let GAF become a virtue signaling hellhole again. Already been there and through it. It's fine if they think that ugly models are ok. It's not ok to make it seem like there's something wrong with you if you disagree with their opinion though. So fuck the idea (not the person), as you put it.
T Twinguistics take a picture man this is what echo chambers produce :p
? Clarify please?

Don't play videogame and watch porn. There is nothing wrong with Aloy model. This forum is full with people who get upset with fictional character appearance. It's quite amusing
Making porn would be more apt.
Watching it would be a completely different medium as it takes away from the interactivity.
 
This place feels like it's turning into Era AKA old Gaf in a lot of ways. Why is the OP being roasted? Beautiful people are intentionally being turned ugly in games under the guise of some kind of social reinforcing agenda.

Shame...
Dude it's just that this isn't the 1st or 2nd or even 5th thread about this subject, it's tiresome and there's already an OT on the subject.
Corporations don't have morals, they manufacture a product that panders to the target society's current trends to sell the most amount of units of their product.

Honestly surprised by most of the replies, especially as we are on Gaf. I guess the fact that a lot of the examples usedare from Playstation games are causing this?.
The OP is dead right.
I'd say stick to Indie games, they are the only devs that really do attractive player models these days. The major studios are STILL scared stiff of the Twitter mob.

Post player models you're attracted to, please.

This has been going on for awhile. The problem with comparing it to Japanese games is that half of the female characters are either anime or really plastic doll looking. I am intrigued to see how the Japanese side of squareenix and not crystal dynamics would make lara croft but from what I understand even squareenix supposedly has been more sensitive to the west's views on females.

Way to engage. This is classic driveby shitpost stuff. Let me know when you actually want to have a conversation instead of spouting emojis and sassy strawmen.
