Imagine being hired because you are ugly. LOL. Games these days...

"Our female main character has to be unattractive, ugly even. Not a shred of conventional beauty"
"Why"
"The narrative demands it"

My brother in christ, you WROTE the narrative.

I tried but knowing why doesn't make this better.

She doesn't write poems……. She collects bounties!!

 

[MagiusNecros]

Hot Atsu

Would consider buying the game if she looked like this. Shame. Could play the realism card but I don't see a girl of Atsu's proportions realistically swinging an Odachi either.

 

[Haint]

So the studio with hard left activist developers who live in that REEETardera thread about women depictions in games, writes a flimsy narrative to justify putting ugly women in their game. Got it, boycott canceled, buying 3 copies.

, and not one driven by political correctness.

well yeah propaganda isn't political correctness.

Sign of a mature actor who embraces their strengths and weaknesses, actually. But yeah let's spin that too.

Oh, she's not "unconventionally attractive." Just unattractive. Call it what it is. I don't think it matters either way, but Sucker Punch can't possibly be unsure of why people question their intentions.

The bigger problem is why the gameplay looks like it's on autoplay. It just looks like a bad game, full stop.

conventionally unattractive

Regardless of how you feel about the game, memes like this about people are hilarious.

Fixed it for ya there bud, and I absolutely agree.

Weebs and Otaku have been disillusioned with giant anime tiddies attached to tween looking faces.

I'd be perfectly happy with something like this:

I wonder why it is that in movies or shows women can look good without problems, but in games that is wrong.

Basically the game is a ray of light for ugly people. Actually I give them a little credit for trying to address it instead of, hey here's some uggos, like Insomniac is doing.

But it's just not a message that anyone cares about in a fantasy video game. If you're ugly work harder I guess? That's just how it is in life.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I find her neither ugly nor beautiful. BUT! Imagine if she walks into a place you're at. Minding your own business. And she picks a fight and slaughters every hard-looking motherfucker in that place. Then she walks up to you, covered in blood, and grabs you by the collar or by the balls. Looks right into your eyes and says, "Come with me <insert racial slur here>. I'm aroused and wish to copulate". I don't know about you, but I'm not saying 'no'. I'm going to end up as that woman's breeding bitch and taking care of our kids at home while she goes on her rampage.

Wouldn't be that big of a deal if DEI hires didn't pretend they got hired due to their qualifications.

However, they tend to be extremely vocal and/or inflate all their accomplishments because they need constant validation.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Shadows & Yotei seem to have one thing in common - a lot of the shitstorm could've been easily avoided if the studio listened to what type of a playable hero people want. Just like Naoe could carry Shadows as a singular protagonist, having a second game with Jin would've been a solid pick here.

Of course, she's gorgeous.

To answer your question, this mainly plagues western film lately. And if you notice, the Turkish, Indian, Chinese or Japanese, etc., actresses they hire for the (funded) cameos or roles in western film, are still classically beautiful more often than not. Those places don't practice the mind virus.

GAF needs more posts like this. Thank you!

 

[yogaflame]

So her bad and tragic experiences made her ugly with all the punishment and stress in her life and her focus on her revenge rather than taking care of her looks?
