Has a game character casting ever confused you?

They apparently wanted to do full body scans and even use her tattoos on characters and she had to put her foot down.
Fucking why? What's the goal here? That goes past
>Scanning heads is easier than designing them
Now they are putting extra work into trying to make sure character models are 1:1 to real people for no real payoff.
>>
>prefers to play characters that don't resemble her
A fucking negress has more sense than these retarded companies. Self-insert fags get the rope.
>>
>>749906527
Even debra is asking them what the fuck they're doing lmao what a clown show. She's a nice enough lady too, shame she catches heat for this.
>>
I mean just look at the entire game's cast. Everybody is some weird or uncanny copy of the actor right down to Troy Baker in clown makeup as Sinister...I mean sorry, Essex.
>>
>>749906527
What's there to be confused about? They want to use her likeness because they want their games to have a black woman. She's used because she's black, a woman and easily accessible by the industry.
>>
It's so they can get diversity points by signaling that they hired a black woman.

The pessimist in me makes me think she did this as a marketing stunt but I can't help but like her more for saying it.

Too bad it's not likely to shift the dial at all.
>>
>>749907297
Nah, it's consistent with what she has said before.
>>
>>749906905
Yeah, actor scans don't even go 1:1 in most cases. Like for some reason in Death Stranding they kept Norman Reedus's tattoos, but the body they use is not Norman's. So they went and did an additional hand scan of him for no real reason.
>>
>>749907297
well she seems cognizant that they're using her at this point. She's an actor sure, and it's her job, but she seems to be picking up that they're profiling her in a way that makes her feel like a token black woman. I wouldn't be surprised if she questioned any future roles of hers as less than genuine.
>>
>>749906527
I think it's kind of sad for her that they're using her not because of her talents as a person, but because she's a black woman.
"Oh right, she's in because they needed a black woman" is a hill she'll never be able to surpass.
>>
>>749907097
Feminine penis

She knows and she get paid for it. Her earlier reason is that her appearing in games make her grand daughter happy or whatever shit.
>>
>>749906527
The trend of increasingly unvarnished expies of recognizable celebrities has been ongoing for several decades now and has largely been driven by Boomer upper management. This was pervasive in film, pervasive in animation and now it is pervasive in games.
I am confused as to why people would want human faces at all, knowing the basic psychological manipulation involved, but I do understand the basic mechanism driving it.
>>749906905
It's generally theorized that the average human can only give a shit about and be invested in about 150 human relationships (Dunbar's Number) before they stop giving a shit and most humans have difficulty really separating fact from fiction consciously and subconsciously. Major production companies want one of their actors to fill one of those 150 relationship spots and for the resulting parasocial relationship to do some of their marketing for them.
Keep in mind that forcing this bullshit has probably contributed to multiple actors committing suicide or just being driven out of the industry, they generally aren't fans of this kind of thing, it's mostly being forced by the industry.
>>749907297
It's too late, Debra lives rent-free in your brain.
>>749907410
>>749907450
As described, it's less token black woman and more token Debra Wilson.
>>
>>749907517
At the end of the day it's a job. She's very clearly not on their side, but what is she going to do? If anything, she should demand more money and bleed these morons dry.
>>
>>749907613
Its why I find many people saying "WE MIGHT HAVE TREAT HER TOO HARSHLY" or "BASED! SHE SAYS IT THAT SHE HATE IT!" retarded. They ignore the fact that she will still do it to get paid/pander to her children.
>>
easy to work with
>>
>>749907297
she's a good actress for voice, its just weird to see the same person in every game over and over when game characters used to be all unique and not just 3d scans
>>
>>749906527
why doesnt she refuse
>>
>>749906527
We too would also prefer if they stopped using her vile sheboon likeness.
>>
>>749907651
I don't think those things have to be diametrically opposed though? we're all under the same system/cultural zeitgeist and losing a job over being a hardliner on something hasn't ever done anyone favors.
>>
>>749906905
>>Scanning heads is easier than designing them
>100s of millions of dollars in development
where the fuck does the money go?
>>
>>749907805
Yeah no shit. She can say all the shit she wants, but in the end of the day, either she will still be feature and get paid, or use the mocap resources and AI and she won't get paid. Retards that think her words hold any weight is retarded.
>>
>>749906527
DEI agenda, she is the perfect pick, she is black, old and most importantly, she isnt a totally insane bitch like most of the other failed "actors" they do mocap of

I mean, she could just refuse to give them her likeness rights... but she's so easy to work with.
>>
>>749907753
Sketchy companies.
She doesn't know what they'll do in advance and even with assurances and contracts they WILL go back on their deal.
The only alternative is not working at all.
>>749907843
Consultant babysitting.
Stock market price manipulation with bloated team sizes doing nothing.
Disposable management layers are also basically like condoms for doing illegal shit like wage theft, insider trading or embezzlement.
>>
>>749906527
Its crazy to think that everyone actually working on vidya thinks this shit is retarded but has to keep following the demands of their corporate overlords.
>>
>>749906527
does some jew just own her likeness and sell it or something how does that happen
>>
>>749907097
In-game Jean is beautiful compared to the irl model
I haven't seen casting choices this fucking bad since Huntdown the Freeman
>>
>>749906527
>Debra why do they keep making everyone look like y-
>I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW
Well at least she's as annoyed by it as everyone else.
>>
>>749907091
An ugly one, who defies le male gaze and doesn't make trannies feel jealous
>>
>>749906527
EASY
>>
>>749906527
>Characters that don't resemble her
As much as people are becoming hyperaware of her likeness in a bunch of games, she's actually got a bunch of roles that don't look like her at all, you just wouldn't notice.
>>
>>749906527
I like dabura wilson but they doing her dirty by putting her face only into shit games and ill fitting roles.
>>
>>749906527
Can't she just say "no"? They can't use her face if there's no consent..
>>
>>749907010
She was great on MadTV so it's weird she's become a negative meme.

>Black
>Female

>Ugly
She checks so many boxes and has zero physical appeal for straight male gamers, of course they're going to use her likeness as much as possible. But she can't allow herself to accept that it is because of that that they scan her all the time because it would be insulting and humiliating to admit. Her skill as a VA has nothing to do with the face scanning.
>>
>>749907338
>kojima is retarded
All you had to say
>>
>>749909161
>>Old
>>Ugly
She's somewhat of a less ugly hag irl, still rough though and makes no sense and a heckin badass girl boss
>>
>Gamers: We don't want her in games
>Debra Wilson: I don't want to be in games
>Gamedevs: Um, isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
>>
>>749906527
yeah judith gibbons after shelley blond
no way were they ever the same character
