Maybe it's just me but I feel like the market for masculine, non conventionally attractive female leads in games isn't as big as the video game industry thinks it is

No offense, but I’ll take my hot takes on masculinity from someone else.

I don't think Tati Gabrielle appreciates getting called ugly for starring in a video game.

 

[joeygreco1985]

It says something when the grossest man possible speaks about women's looks

I don't think Tati Gabrielle appreciates getting called ugly for starring in a video game.

But do you think she is really happy with how the chatacter looks?

Even microsoft managed to make great looking women in Indiana Jones.
They are strong, good looking and charismatic. And just like that - it's no issue. It's not that hard

 

[VulcanRaven]

I would guess so.

 

[March Climber]

It's literally just her but bald. Like the face is 1:1.

 

[jason10mm]

I would guess so.

But she clearly spends a ton of time on her looks in real life and in other projects. Seems to me she cares about her appearance quite a bit and to be altered in such a way, presumably on purpose, I imagine she was at least a little miffed.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

They're not pursuing a market, they're trying to socially engineer the next generation to absorb their insane political ideals. Then all men will be feminine, all women will be masculine, and every interchangeable human can wear grey jumpsuits and live in pods while eating bugs. Sustainability unlocked.

I'm sure it was a decision agreed by both to go with the no makeup look. She was most likely scanned like that. There is no way they don't discuss these things with the main actor.

Dont be ridiculous. When an artist creats an art out of you, absolutely any human being on this planet will want to see themselves in the final form and I can 100% guarantee you, if this femboss didnt like it, Cuckman would've changed the looks instantly, not to mention the fact that an actress has a manager who also needs to approve so that it doesnt ruin her image. Fucking think my guys.

DeepEnigma who would you pick to go out for a date?

 

[Mr Moose]

I would hope so, it looks exactly like her.

 

[lughnasadh123]

And yet never a attraction metric male leads have to pass to be deemed acceptable. Not even sure why it matters. Why is attraction a quality when it's not even the focus. Is Returnal a shit game because some don't find Selene fuckable? Not every decision made by devs is a politically motivated finger to piss off people.

Nah, I bet she did all her work and they tweaked the model through a hundred variations. She probably knew the model would be bald since she presumably mo-capped the scene but that "rolled hard, put away wet" look with a very defeminized physique i bet wasn't something she had any input on.

 

[mitch1971]

There is a difference between a starwars outlaws scenario who clearly uglified her character model, and someone who is pretty much a one to one with the real human being. Basically the arguement seems to be, hey, you are too ugly to star in my video game. Seems gamers are choosing to say the quiet parts out loud these days and are fine with it.

Just plug me back into the matrix.

Can someone point out which facial alterations were made for Tati Gabrielle? Here is a set photo and a shot from a movie with her as close to bald as possible:

She was probably bald or close to it when scanned. Her physique looks just like in the Uncharted movie. Just google it.

No need, I posted video evidence in the other thread, here:

I didn't knew her so googled, there wasn't a single photo of her looking like a 'trucker' all steroids beefy. She has a nice feminine figure.

none, i think some pepole don't like the MC design (and that's fine, not my fav also), and making it woke reasons.

Human cockroach has opinions about Hollywood hotties.

 

[Drake]

The one from Star Wars outlaws is the most egregious example. Ubisoft should be ashamed of themselves. The Naughty Dog one is pretty bad too.

Meh, Space Marines 2 had the ugliest dudebros ever.

 

[Valt7786]

I think the major problem with it is that we know WHY Druckmann had her designed this way. It's his stronk masculine woman agenda pushing through. People didnt like Abby's design and some people didn't like Lev. So here he comes out with his companies new game where the protag looks like he smushed both those characters together because "fuck the chuds".

If someone showed me that picture of her above my immediate thought is "Bald Asian Man" because thats what it looks like.

No doubt a date with Morpheus would be banger.

I didnt disagree with you on. I do think shes ugly and I hate that shes the main protagonist, but other than that, Im with you on that she looks like herself irl minus the makeup.

I just want people to be honest about it then and say they think she is ugly upfront. Using this odd shielded argument of 'They made her look worse' is just weird.

I didnt disagree with you on. I do think shes ugly and I hate that shes the main protagonist, but other than that, Im with you on that she looks like herself irl minus the makeup.

Thank you.

It wasn't until people posted this twitter thread that I really noticed it. Her eyes are too big and lower jaw is too pronounced. If they would have made her look more like she actually does I think the backlash would have been less. But western devs are gonna western dev.

Druckmann designed her that way because he likes female characters that look like that. Not everything is a jab at "chuds".

 

[onQ123]

But main characters in videogames have always been fugly now they are just more realistic

 

[rofif]

Besides, it’s not just about being ugly but because we all know why she is ugly

More like "no make up vs make up."

No way this is the narrative that twitter community is running with. They are two different expressions and that is a photoshoot picture.

The fact that they are jumping through hoops and can't courageously just say 'I find the actress ugly' is laughable.

Like it's so easy, just stand on your opinion.

 

[midnightAI]

"Hair equity"

She's talking about how many hairdressers dont know how to do POC hair, irrelevant though, we are talking about how similar the face is

 

[Drake]

It's like she's 20 pounds more than she actually is.

 

[Danjin44]

I guess psychology between how western devs like design characters.

Most the time Japanese devs like design their characters young and beautiful while most time western devs like design their characters old and beat up because to them that’s more “realistic”.

The Marxist language is what's stupid.

Yet males still remain studs in those same games.
