What I’m reading is that Black and Asian women can only be attractive when they conform to western beauty standards: petite features, small frames, perfect proportions.
Considering that some games these days use the likenesses of actual people to create their characters, it disgusts me that some random guy out there gets to be the deciding voice on beauty.
He seems to be pretty hung up on that one guys girlfriend though…
What do economic and political ideals have to do with how women are portrayed in video games? It’s completely irrelevant.
People complain all the time about how women aren’t represented in games, or how the media focuses too much on beautiful women, etc. And now people complain that they’re too normal? There’s really no winning here, is there?
I don’t see a point to this article, it’s just complaining for the sake of complaining.
Does it? Because we’re still solidly on the side of the vast majority of women in games being attractive, even in the games where the examples come from.
Nothing was confirmed other than two artists saying they’ve had push backs on their models. Also, just play a game. There’s plenty of attractive women in games. Sorry if not literally every single woman looks like a supermodel anymore.
Also odd that the title directly contradicts itself by saying it’s specifically black women, in their experience, which would be an entirely different issue.
Also odd that the article mentions The Last of Us Pt 2. That game has a lot of conventionally attractive women. I assume they’re talking about one character in particular. And she wasn’t made less attractive, she’s just a butchy woman. That’s pretty core to her character.
Odd that they didn’t mention the new Fable which is where I’ve heard the most whining. Then again I’ve heard whining from Stellar Blade of all games.
Who is the Batman character they’re complaining about anyways? Is it Harley? Wtf are they getting at with that pic?

Lemmy is going to downvote this one, just like they did when I said Alyssa Mercante is a narcissist.
I don’t get what you mean. Can you explain?
Good chunk of Lemmy users are very neo-liberal or Communist and disagree with this article. See the down-votes and comments here.
As a communist neo-liberal myself, I think all women in video games and real life should look like straight dogshit.
Nah, man, I’m a capitalist, and this is stupid.
The downvotes might just be there because someone decided to write a assumptive article about a single tweet. I don’t see any bad comments.
