Why does the western games industry equate realism with ugliness?
>>
I wish I knew, but this seems like an industry wide coordinated move, because whenever you criticise this shit, you are conveniently immedately get labelled as an incel and your opinion is invalidated just like that. Honestly, it's wild and I have no words. I still have faith in the asian developers, they still deliver, but I don't know when or if this ever going to change back in the west.

Because the only women who let them hit are ugly feminazis that want to tailor games to validate their ugly asses, and they can nag their nerd partners to do it

>>719591948
No. They've been trying to make her a hero for years (like the entirety of the supporting cast), but the reception is always lukewarm to non-existent and they drop it. Recently they half committed to it, largely in a plot to try to decouple her from Peter for good, but it backfired terribly and now she's got Venom on her ear telling her how great Peter is.

Not only did they Tom Hollandify Peter, they didn't even rig the mocap properly to the new face. It actively ruins the ending cutscene against Doc Ock.

>Why does the western games industry equate realism with ugliness?

Western game companies are staffed with extremely insecure women who actively sabotage female characters to make them uglier than themselves.

No, seriously. That is the reason all this nonsense is happening. Body image issues of female employees.

Making games with huge teams and tons of outsourcing, while aiming for the biggest possible audience by making sure the content is safe and inoffensive is/was an industry-wide phenomenon. The rest is a by-product. Games made by more than 30 people is a pretty new thing. And AAA games are already trending down

I once did a university game project in a team with an insecure guy, who demanded making the male main character more and more "average" with each iteration. He started out as a confident pretty boy (the artist was a woman), and ended up as wrinkly and sad. I managed to argue against making him bald.

Women got enough of a foothold in society to normalize acting like a woman. And acting like a woman means being a petulant, insecure, irrational, selfish bitch. Turns out there was a reason to not give them power all along.

Lego did a study when trying to make a line that appealed to girls. They found out that boys, when playing with a toy character, would project that character on themselves, wanting to learn everything about that character while pretending to be it. Girls would instead project themselves onto the character, wanting to make it look more like themselves.
>>
>>719596416
I think it's mostly management worrying that their giga expensive game is "just for young boys", instead of "wider audiences" (which are probably just rhetoric to please shareholders in most cases. But some bland/ugly AAA games do sell really well)
>>
>>719590020
Women don't like "unrealistic beauty standards." Which is narcissistic and self-entitlement. No one deserves to feel beautiful. Also, beauty is a positive descriptor, meaning the absence of beauty isn't negative, but rather is neutral. Men just have to cope with being ugly, but for women and girls, it's some society has to fix.

Getting better pay and opportunities by being attractive is a societal problem for both men and women. Being regarded as unattractive doesn't lead to neutral treatment, but to detriment

I had a dream last night where I read a comic about Spider-Man fighting Phantom Blot from the Italian Mickey Mouse comics. It was a 200-page hardcover book where every page was done by a different artist. The art ranged from mid-2010s Tumblr noses to amazing stuff, where for example Phantom Blot was revealed wearing a cool looking white theater mask under his hood

It wouldn't fit her character in the Insomniac games, being an international war journalist. On the other hand, her character is pretty badly written, so it would probably be better to just replace her.
All the younger women feel extremely fake in the games. They focused much more on making them "strong" instead of human

Wait, are there still people not aware of the JQ, and how literally all of this boils down to them, Every. Single. Time.? Haven't you noticed that when the jews are mentioned on any board other than /pol/ they get met with the same criticism, "go back to /pol/" "/poltard/" "back to your containment board" now that opinion is "invalidated" the same as what you said. Seems coordinated in the same way.. Perhaps the same people coordinating it?

The “male gaze” is feminine beauty and charm. When they decided to get rid of the male gaze, that’s what they were actually getting rid of.

These people hate beauty because it implies that not everyone is equal. They can’t stand the idea that they aren’t as good as someone else in some objective aspect. They purposely make themselves ugly (dyed hair, shaved head, septum piercing, etc) as an act of defiance against beauty as a concept. It’s also why they’re fine with calling someone like Lizzo “hot” but will never do the same for someone who actually is hot like Sydney Sweeney.

A normal person can accept that there are millions of people who are better-looking than them without having a mental breakdown.
