GAF is beautiful ?

So with all this (frankly boring) talk of fat and ugly characters in games I can only assume most users on GAF are beautiful svelt people. Living their lives like a character from a CW show. Playing switch and laughing with beautiful friends on a rooftop balcony.

So let's see the receipts. Anyone willing to post pics of themselves. To be judged if they are worthy to live life.
Or be shunned from society and forever meme'd

I think you've got it wrong OP.

It's because we are who we are that we like to look at attractive people in games, movies and other forms of entertainment. This is nothing new tbf - it's human nature.

Would Breakfast at Tiffanys and Gone with the Wind be classics if purple haired landwhales were cast in the lead roles? Not for me to say but I suspect not.

It's almost like...most people don't want to play as themselves so ofc people want good looking movie stars and game characters. That's why it's called escapism.

I don't consider myself good looking or ugly,just average but I'm not making an average looking character if I get the choice. Especially if I have to stare at this character for 50+ hours like in today's games. That's almost as many hours as I looked in the mirror all my life lol.

I'm not fat but I'm losing my looks as I age.

I see ugly and obese people in real life so I don't want them on my screens as well, especially when the show or game is trying to make them likeable or competent when those types suck normally.

Since the dawn of story telling most characters have always been what we aspire to be not what we are.
