The modern fascist doesn't present themself as a strong military leader anymore, instead presenting themself as an entertainer for the people. I believe this image is what makes it difficult to get the masses fully under your control, and granting you unchallenged authority.

with hyphenated names: what would the children do then? you can't keep adding more and more names like that (both practically and legally in some cases). serious question because I've also thought about that

That, and I think graphics is the easiest part of a game to min/max. You can take any pile of garbage and hire a couple animators, 3D artists etc etc to make it look gorgeous, but it's difficult to find someone who can write a really good story every single year for a release

lmao if that's true he blundered this one so hard. either he doubles down and doesn't reinstate premium, causing people to get annoyed at him and potentially leave. or he does reinstate it and has essentially lost control over his platform.

seems like the former so far, his last tweets are full of responses just talking about this.

Clearly only one bad thing exists, sorry my bad.

One last try of getting you to understand this: when you go around and point out every single flaw in a female characters design you are setting a beauty standard for what a woman should look like (one that is most likely completely unrealistic anyways). letting people keep bullying game studios into designing their characters that way just reinforces that image. you're essentially saying "a woman isn't worth being in my art unless she adheres to these unrealistic standards". women have imperfection, news flash.

it makes even less sense because male characters usually aren't held to the same standards. it's because gamers (mostly men themselves) don't care about male characters because they're not trying to satisfy their sexual frustration through them.

and it makes even less sense when the female character in question is living in a literal wasteland or on a dangerous quest. Senua has better things to do than perfecting her outfit, makeup and getting a plastic surgery to appease some lonely men in front of the screens.

the "art" as you call it is just gooning material for lonely men

I'm not gonna keep arguing because you're clearly not interested in thinking about how the portrayal of women in media affects societies perception of women in real life. I urge you to take my advice and talk to women 🀠

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Yeah I guess we should just let people keep over analyzing the women in video games, pointing out every single imperfection, every pimple, every asymetry because thats what incels do. I'm sure the women in the real world love that behaviour 🀠 maybe you try talking to a women and see how she likes the portrayal of women in video games, and the coomers consuming said games

You conveniently ignored the quotes around "ugly" to go on your little rant there. These people already flip their shit when the woman is a mere mortal normal looking woman and not the perfectly shaped ridiculously curvy imperfection-free woman that incels think is the gold standard of attractiveness. Point in case: Star Wars Outlaws bad, Stellar Blade good

it really doesn't tbh

this wasn't even about witcher specifically... and sure, CDPR could have done all that, but they can also do what they showed in the trailer because it's their game 🀠

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 21 points 3 weeks ago (38 children)

The thing is though, they don't care about women in video games, they just care about "ugly" women in video games. as long as they can look at an hourglass shaped woman with massive curves in a skinsuit they don't mind.

don't go down the rabbit hole of "fixing female characters"...
