Yeah this is the sad reality of weeb culture. These are the guys who try to brigade something because a character’s boobs aren’t big enough (see: Tifa in FF7 remake) and are completely, utterly serious. And they don’t understand why none of us can muster even a modicum of respect for their opinions.
Reading the post and the top comments, I don’t think [most] people are upset that she’s flat.
(OP)
First of all I just want to say holy mother the real Herta looks absolutely gorgeous 😭🙏.
After looking upon her magnificent figure, I noticed her chest is flat. I don’t think we had a maiden model who’s flat chested before. This could indicate that devs may start testing the waters with their models

fuck yeah, slender women!!!
The controversial comments are horny people. Except one who said “Lame” (-16).
This one is funny though:
the lord is real, we’re finally getting women without overinflated balloons that have stupid physics!
I think you are taking that post the wrong way. For context every character in Star Rail falls into 3 (iirc) categories: short, medium, or tall, and every character within a category has the exact same body type, just with different accessories and textures. What that post is saying is that this is a character is in a category (medium/maiden) that does not have the exact same body as other characters in the same category, which might mean that in the future the characters will have more diverse models/body types.
That’s not to say that some people don’t get unduly angry over how their characters look, but that’s not what is happening here.
Its unfortunately a pretty common thing, especially for gatcha games. Look at the whole Limbus Company debacle from a few years back, for example, where people protested outside the studio because the summer skins weren’t sexy enough (for a game that hadn’t previously sexualized characters heavily) and got an unrelated artist fired because she was a feminist and thus was surely the one who made the decision.
With gatcha games, its a bit of a perfect storm with the extreme investment expected in these games, the monetization of characters, an industry that leans into this, and the fact that these games tend to be made in and marketed towards east-Asian regions where generally, sexuality is more accepted but sexism also more common and played largely by young, immature men.
Edit: Notably also, a lot of the men getting super invested in games like this are also vulnerable, which means a lot are likely to also end up in groups like the incel “movement” as well as being more likely to be swept up in any existing toxic culture around the games themselves.

What’s creepier: people too mad about a flat chest? Or people too happy about a flat chest?
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’ve run across both attitudes and they both seem… well, unseemly.
Why are you shocked? Weeb culture has been a menace in so many aspects already

Bro there are always some idiots.

Blame the cancerous gambling the game has, not what you like or don’t like about a pngs looks

You saw some weird shit and decided to subject us to it too? Why?
For anime moe games ? Yes, that is par of the course. Gachapon games are cheaper than therapy I guess.
The hornies don’t like you singling them out, OP.
Blessed be people who have not seen the gacha section of Game banana mods
