Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

What is these weirdos obsession with inhuman proportions?
The do realise that's not what women actually look like, right?
Anime isn't real. These people need to go outside and talk to actual women
They don't want women (humans), they want sexual objects (which is what "women" means under patriarchy anyway)
If you take them at their word, that digital entertainment is escapism from the real world, then damn you kinda feel sorry for them a little. Real women are entities from which they must escape. Sad!
porn brain creates a dopamine treadmill and they have to engage with more and more exaggerated and inhuman features and fetishes to get the same hit. The distance from reality is kind of the point, and it's how you get to online porn like futanaris with comically exaggerated sex characteristics. To someone who hasn't gone down this path of building up a tolerance via constant gooning, it looks stupid/hilarious/grotesque, but to them everyone actually alive is bland/vanilla/fat/ugly.
It was the norm for most female characters (if there were any at all) to be sexed-up waifus in most games up until the PS3/Xbox 360 generation where things started changing. It was partly because the developers themselves were largely horny dudes and partly a cynical marketing ploy because it was assumed the audience consisted largely of horny dudes. This was the era of publishers promoting video games by having nude renders of their female characters in Playboy, "Cybervixen of the Year" type awards, booth babes at E3, etc.
These things going away causes deep existential angst to the specific type of straight guy they were intended to cater to
It should also be noted that during this time, lots of other areas of culture were cleaning up their acts and getting rid of a lot of this immature booby-ogling content. Gaming was the last holdout since it had a large proportion of its fanbase as nerdy shut ins and an overwhelming male majority (due to women generally avoiding the gross gaming culture of the time). Hence, a lot of gamers felt like they were losing a culture war and had to make their final stand for boobies. That’s where a lot of the gamergate persecution complex came from, they thought “this is the one remaining space we can still act this way, why can’t they be happy having everything else”
Yeah, it isn't just about weirdos wanting to jerk off to polygonal boobies, but about the cultural values those polygonal boobies represent to those weirdos
