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

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This but unironically.

Fuck Sony Dads.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Fuck Sony Dads"?

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 86 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sick of morons using the word woke.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 74 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 49 points 1 year ago

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

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 1 year ago

She's parodying this type of tweet:

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you can never be sure about that on the internet

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

He could break my neck with his bare hands anytime 🤤

Would and proud of it.

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

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Make video games gay again!

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

They turned him into Zac Efron

[–] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

thanks I hate it

"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.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Lmfao that's just Clive from ff16

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That's the guy from Resident Evil
