You guys are cooked if you can't tell this is satire

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Make video games gay again!

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Folks, this is obviously satire… like, come on.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Yeah but G*mers aren't smart enough to realise that.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

you can never be sure about that on the internet

I'm like, pretty sure she's just parodying of how people treated Aloy. There were a lot of posts like this pointing out facial hair and such.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago

They've moved onto Ciri now for Witcher 4. Mad that the character doesn't look like a teenager now that she's aged into her 30s.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I don't know who Selma is, but that's my takeaway as well.

Western devs can't make an attractive male design. That's why I only play games from Japanese devs that make pretty boys like Alphinaud from Final Fantasy XIV

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 64 points 2 days ago

Androgynous elves gotta be one of my favourite genders

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How to make a pretty boy, apparently, make girl, flat chest, put in suit

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't forget "Give them an identical badass twin sister".

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Who is secretly another boy

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 18 points 2 days ago

Wait until you find out about the shojo hot guys

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Why did you post a picture of Allisae in your comment about Alphinaud?

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This but unironically.

Fuck Sony Dads.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Fuck Sony Dads"?

I'd love to but they're unfortunately not real 😞

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

The Dutch Giant once cosplayed as Kratos, so maybe that could kinda count?

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Okay, like, I can like an aging Sony dad AND think all this pearl-clutching and hand wringing about "wokism ruining games" just because Ciri could actually arm wrestle me and drink me under a table is bonkers. It's not Ciri's fault that she can achieve a level of badass that these chuds can only imagine.

Blue Alisiae is a good character.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Spoken like someone who has never seen Theodin Marcell

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 86 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sick of morons using the word woke.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 72 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The right pic looks like fucking hot garbage but i guess that was probably the point right?

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago

She's parodying this type of tweet:

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 47 points 2 days ago

It looks exactly like what you'd get if you asked stable diffusion to create an image of a generic white male.

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They himbofied him 😭💅

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Would and proud of it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Joel was always a himbo trapped in the post apocalypse, they just set him free

He could break my neck with his bare hands anytime 🤤

some modern female video game protagonists have some amount of chin, which indicates that they’re real and believable, and thus not meant for an audience of gamergate incels. the incels are outraged by it.

DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) is a buzzphrase right wingers scream whenever someone with an uncomfortable amount of color in their skin or a woman makes it to a high position. they mean to say that the position is undeserved, that they only got it out of pity or quotas and not out of competence or merit.

combine the two and you get a female protagonist with a normal body that isn’t built to be a sex object for incels who doesn’t deserve the position she has.

"Jaw too big" is a VERY common gamer incel complaint for female characters. It was especially silly with the recent Silent Hill 2 remake, where they were complaining about Maria's appearance which is based off her voice actress.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

That is a stunning lady.

People come in all shapes and sizes, and you're all unique and beautiful.

Be you, there's only one of you.

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 24 points 2 days ago

They turned him into Zac Efron

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

thanks I hate it

[–] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago

Somebody do one with a non-Caucasian character that they change to Caucasian male. But don’t point it out.

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Hot damn, no soft feminine shoulders there, no sir!

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Lmfao that's just Clive from ff16

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

That's the guy from Resident Evil
