Real women have eyes the size of small plates, their head is twice as wide as their hips and they don't have visible noses, unless viewed from the side.

I'll never forget when people lost their shit over the Horizon Zero Dawn protagonist having peach fuzz on her face.

What, you think they have lip-waxing in the apocalyptic far future?

Not sure they have sugar, thanks to the events explained in HZD. Sugar cane may well be extinct.

They have honey, I think.

i hope they still have sugar, glucose is kinda essential to survival

They've got fruit. Just not sugarcane.

In any case I'm not sure they care too much about waxing when there's giant robot dinosaurs trying to kill them.

Worst case scenario, the body can create all the glucose it needs via gluconeogenesis.

Well I mean, they're coming out with a new Assassin's Creed game, right? Have they individually modeled every whisker on Jumpy Stabby Man's face?

The extremes of graphics like that just don't interest me. Exhibit A: I've been replaying West of Loathing this week.

And mocap actress was so pretty they had to tone down the alloy model, and make it uglier, in TLoU2 Abby's man body model, when they could have used a women's body model.

it's truly a artistic choice? Or it's the devs badly disguised fetish?

What fetish are you suggesting the employees of these companies in the chain of approval for these decisions all coincidentally had in common for it to make it out to a public audience unchallenged?

You don't think the mocap actress being in the 40s had anything to do with it?

Looks a bit like Kristen Stewart in that screenshot.

There's just a lot of neckbeards out there that assume any woman with a better chin than them (and that's not difficult) is a man.

The straightest Peter (parker) got the manliest MJ (Mary Jane), sadge (twitch emote for sad/cringe). It's a chud being a chud about Mary Jane not being fuckable enough for their tastes in a spiderman game, because that's an opinion people have now I guess

To he fair regarding the facts, MJ is supposed to be far more attractive than a “normal” woman and way out of Peter’s league. She fixes his fashion and gets him to ditch the glasses.

Idk, after a quick google I think this portrayal of MJ is faithful. Perhaps that's just me/my tastes. She's well above average. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that could honestly say that she's average/below average.

Within the confines of comic books and adjacent media, perhaps she's not as attractive as originally intended due to the hypersexualization of people in this genre. That's more of a comment on the social conditions that lead to this trope rather than if she's fuckable or not though

29

I can't.

I guess I missed the part in Spider-Man Homecoming, where Peter and Ned cupped each others balls...

you mean the retweeted tweet? because why the fuck would you show a corporation manners

I'm enjoying that their question really was gibberish to me before you put it in normal terms. May it always remain that way

You seriously need to go outside if you think that looks like a man holy fuck

it’s okay kid, you’re allowed to be attracted to men with long hair.

I am attracted to men with long hair.

Don't know what that has to do with this picture though, this doesn't look like a man.

The constsnt push for realistic graphics has created this kind of paradox where Gamers want games to look 1:1 like real life but they also have no idea what a normal human woman looks like.

76

Honestly, my first thought was that she looks like a younger Amy Dumas (aka Lita from WWE). It's really pretty weird that people are so quick to say she looks like a man just because she doesn't look like a waif.

11

Can I have games that look like Deep Rock Galactic but higher framerates and more zombies and more emergent gameplay dynamics?

Also devs who aren't crunched and are well paid so they can parent and touch grass sometimes too.

Says the sheltered person outraged to the fact that it’s possible for a woman to look like a man

If I had to guess: Harry Potter takes his glasses off, makes love to Frodo, and they have a beautiful baby boy.

She looks like an average woman. People who go outside and interact with people understand that not every woman looks like a supermodel

People who go outside and are not socially inept unlike yourself also realize some women can look like a man at a glance.

Funny ad-hom definitely helps your argument

If this is what a "woman that looks like a man" is to you, you have not met enough women
