Lara is no longer a top tier waifu

[sztyrymytyry]

What happened? In Rise of the Tomb Raider Lara was a top tier waifu. What did they do to her? She seems to have more manly body. Her shape ain't right. Her rear ain't so juicy anymore. Her hips ain't so feminine animore. Her face seems weird, and if you look from a certain angle she has a big, pointed nose. Did devs cave in to the SJWs?

EDIT: OMG, I've just read that Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider was made by Crystal Dynamics, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider was made by Eidos Montreal. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!

These thread seems to be filled with male virgins who failed to rub one off and are now complaining about their sexual inadequacies.

Its funny how a thread simply talking about how lara became ugly became a libtard battlefield when someone mentioned SJW / feminists did it (wich is probably true, considering we're in 2018 and you can legally identify as an assault helicopter if you want, but hey, they're progressive right?).

Legit question.
I thought "waifu", originates from the fact in Japanese phonics they don't cut letters off except for "n".
The term therefore started getting used in the west from Japanese animation fans to describe their favourite "if she was real, I'd marry her" Japanese animated characters.

Again, this mostly playing on the fact the "waifu" would be someone who primarily speaks Japanese, thus would pronounce wife as "ワイフ" (phonetically sounding like "waifu")
i.e. Japanese animation fans would get high over the thought of hearing her try say "I amu your waifu"

I'd say the same would apply to someone who grew up only speaking Japanese, however one would assume that someone would be Japanese.

A non Japanese anime/drama fan would simply think you don't know how to pronounce "wife", or you have a speach impediment.

However. If I am not mistaken. Lara Croft didn't grow up only speaking Japanese. She would fully be able to pronounce "wife" properly and she doesn't fall into the stereotypical image of a person, or animated character who couldn't.


The question is.
Has the English speaking world since adopted "waifu" outside of that circle as a legitimate way to describe anyone who they would be happy to marry irregardless of origin? Taking away the ability quickly determine the topic of "Japanese animated girl I wan't to marry"?

Which, in turn makes the "waifu" thing lose it's value since it no longer identifies the group it originally intended?
Which, if it lost that meaning, it now just means "wife", so the only meaning it has now is that the speaker can't spell or pronounce their words correctly?

When and why?

thanks for confirming this for me. i thought from the previews that she looked even more like a boy than previously. but hey that's PC culture for you. keep voting democrat and giving power to the extremely vocal feminists that don't play these games. I'll go back to play 2013 where Lara actually was a leading lady worth the time.

I mean, you can look exactly like 2013 Lara in the game if you want to, if you own the old game.

But hey, knock yourself out.

Are you living in cave or something? This is already happening for 5 year, it doesn't matter it's made by Crystal Dynamics or Eidos Montreal, they all belong to the same "category" now. Also did you even see that obnoxious "virtue signalling introduction" in this game? Like "Hurdur we develpoers are diversed and multicultures with diferent races, genders...balbla, so we make good game." I mean it's right in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BEGINNING of this game, you can't even pass it.

Awwww, you're another triggered little snowflake, aren't you. Did the mean developers make you upset? It's okay, you can quit the game and run back to your safe space if you need to.

And for all the fuss made about this sort of thing, who does it actually hurt? The message at the start of the game I took as the studio wanting credit for trying to do thier due diligence in potraying cultures that still exist. Remeber the lost tribe lot from RotTR with clearly american accents, that lived in russia and originally came from greece/byzantium? It was lazy and felt silly, and it didnt ruin the game or anything, it was just avoidable.

She looks the same.

[JACKSin]

It's like the same character model. You've clearly reached the 20-30 threshold for confused young men. She looks like a man to you because you want her to. That's cool, dude you should just run with it.

People really buy (or don't buy) games based on how attractive they find the protagonist? That's...sad.

Did anyone consider the fact that they're just stylistic changes for the sake of it and not some kind of feminist conspiracy? I mean seriously, people get hung up on the dumbest ♥♥♥♥ these days. I don't need my female protagonist to look like a cosplaying stripper to be interesting and capable. If you judge a game based on how "sexy" the player character is, you have some seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥-up priorities.

None of those are pictures of the fictional Lara Croft.

They're all examples of real women that engage in the same passtime as Lara (sans the mass murdering).

The fact that the devs gave her more toned muscles is honestly just more realistic. Same goes for reducing her cup size and hip curve. When a woman engages in that sort of physical activity, that fat just burns away and all you're left with is the muscles and mamaries.

It'd be like making the female protagonist of a cooking game overweight. It's just the law of averages.

And to chip into the whole "is it feminist propaganda" debate, I really don't think so. I think the opening page about diverse developers had more to do with the underdeveloped Incan civilization in the game than the two or three female characters of note.

After all, its the same screen that shows up at the start of every single Assassin's Creed game. A necessity when you spend most of the game butchering people of color with a side foray into Catholics.
