I know this might be shocking to some but women can be the protagonist in your video games and they don't need to meet your requirements for beauty
Last time I checked the only requirement for a game is being fun
Samus is giving yall side eye

Well, Geralt certainly made me feel things lol
You keep using the word “only” to try and distort what I’m saying. I said the majority. Do you know what majority means. It doesn’t mean “only” it means “most” I’m talking about most.
I play Sonic games and I don't find that little blue bastard hot.
When I heard of the outrage, I genuinely was confused. Because she looks.... Fine
Mr Pac-Man doesn't even have a hat.
Ciri looks like what a seasoned Witcher should.
Strong, capable, and grounded in the story.
Not every hero needs to be a pin-up.
All
Of
This.
Anyone who hasn't tried it,I wholeheartedly recommend it
Nothing proves the patriarchy exists more than watching men squirm over the thought that someone might mistake them as a woman in a fake universe
At one point I definitely had sex with a male character and that was a little weird for me, but, as you say, it's the character. And she's a very sexual person I've decided. She romances everyone. *Everyone*
Many(most?) of those women aren’t playing action rpgs.

-I’m still trying to figure out how BlueSky works. I copied and pasted my reply here.
Not a TERRIBLE game, but probably not worth the $70 pre-order price.
6.5/10
Another $50 bucks to hang out with Jabba's fat ass ... I don't think so.
We had :
- Dark Forces (PC)
- Rebel Assault 1&2 (PC)
- Super Star Wars trilogy (SNES)
And that's the iceberg tip!
Meanwhile City of Heroes is now community run and completely free to play (if rather archaic in the look).
No, I am not biased.
No, this is not because I’m a skeleton.
No, you’re stupid.
Incels are gonna incel
Don't worry, we know that not every game has to be for us... and we don't buy those games. Studios just have to budget development costs based on 75-90% fewer sales for those games.
do you see how stupid you are
The "gaming industry" isn't doing that; it is the action of specific activists in the gaming industry who care more about lecturing than making good games for the most significant demographic.
So devs do. And then it pisses them off to the point that "anathema" isn't doing it enough justice for what it does to them. 💀
who treat daily life as a peeing
up a wall competition are under
the impression that there is
something manly about video
gaming.
Now if it revealed Samus looking like Jordan from the upcoming Intergalactic game, the chud freak outrage machine would be firing on all cylinders and then some.
I think it looks great, and the attractiveness of a character matters little to me, I'm here for a story
I think a lot of these "anti-woke" people or whatever are kind of stupid.
I love women who look interesting, who have lived authentically.
& a lot of people do too.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
It just uses the steam deck’s optimisations and recommended settings but overall for some reason it lets me boot into, for example, persona 5 when if I had this flag off with proton experimental..
Scummiest devs I've seen in a while.
Zanthia!
Rosella!
Ghost 1.0!
Ronin!
Captain Piper Faraday!
There are more but these are my favourites.
On the other hand Samus is a weird example given the Zero Suit mostly exists to go look she's hot and one of the games you can argue leaning into odd stuff
One heroic mod trying to explain to these man-babies that it’s okay if a character in art isn’t a 11/10 Aryan princess who needs a wheel-barrow to carry around her tits
Ask Rogan.
It doesn't matter if the character is a perfect pick or not, misogynists gonna hate.

My new "It" is Jesse Fayden from the game Control, who I think Autumn Ivy (amazing cosplayer) looks just like. I'm currently on my second playthrough.
a lot men seem only capable of being interested in a story if they are the main protagonists, and that’s sad. bc some of the best games have women leads.
But when it's an already chosen character? Go at 'em, lady!
The oversexed body type is played out.
What is wrong with that?
i honestly don't even know how it ended up in my library (maybe a humble bundle?) but i'm so glad it did.

Did people cry about this when tomb raider came out?
I want to slap the piss out of anyone who makes a fuss over a female lead in a game.
I really wanted to play that.
Bayonetta is also torturing them for their disrespect too.
(And yes, I know Bayo is kinda problematic; but I know she wouldn't stand for them being assholes either.)
That is a nonanswer. Detail how Ciri is unattractive in TWIV then.
But you just talked about how game characters can be unconventional looking, then pretty much cited Samus, a BEAUTIFUL bounty hunter.
A better example is perhaps Alyx.
Being a decent human is simple.
If it was up to you then no games would have POC and women. Metroid simply wouldn't exist and that's a successful franchise that's heavily praised.
Or This War of Mine.
They're just traumatic, but somehow still good.
I cannot relate to these man children (they seem to be only men) that are angered by this stuff. She doesn't even look much different from the last game as if that was important.
As a middle-aged white straight man who’s been playing video games his entire life like everyone else in the demo, I don’t fucking get it
Are all these people horny 15 year olds
It’s an immediately disqualifying opinion if you want to be taken seriously as a human
And since I’m not 15 or delusional, I also ignore celebrity bikini photos
Probably women, too. I’ve talked to more men
... -g
I probably also have a selection bias, but I’m also using a larger sample than a household
a lot of the guys that need to hear criticism downgrade from rhetoric to violence at the drop of a hat
It’s a dangerous game
Outside my clique, sure, we’d see things, but not inside. Sure, skins came to the punk shows, but they hid during the day
I moved to the Midwest and learned the folks here had very different upbringings
And the most shocking part was how he so casually described it like any other day

But yes, no reason to gatekeep protagonists
She's a great example as she's the OG of gaming protagonists
It's fine for both sides to complain because the only alternative is no discussion at all.

beauty is not a requirement for a protagonist but your message does not come before fun until i can select that as a refund condition.
