Man boobs on our male video game protagonists ?

[Apexnexius]

Are we mature enough to have a more realistic type of male protagonists in our video games?

How do you feel about this ?

How far has video games come as a medium and are we ready to embrace man boobs on our heroes ?

Your take ?

I beg to differ.
But don't ask me how I know that.

I'd argue Dwayne Johnson has man boobs and he's definitely in shape.

When I was younger I actually dealt with this and needed to have a surgery to get it removed.

He is getting on in years, I guess. At 49, I'm surprised he's able to keep his body as good as it is.

I bet the new Street Fighter game will change that. This seems only a logical course for Capcom to follow, considering their portfolio.

Do you fantasize of mediocrity and poor physical health?

No, he thinks about man boobs apparently.

You know, "fat" characters have been there for the longest time, but we mostly ignored they were "fat" because, for the most part, they were quite well constructed characters.

Recess is a good example.

To be fair, games really do lack reality. I've never seen Sonic the Hedgemahog stop to take a dump.

You must have the censored version.

The only time you get man boobs is on fat men, men drawn by Rob Liebfeld, :P, who is "not an artist*", and men who suffer from Breast cancer.

* If you get this reference, I will be happy.

They certainly do.

If I booted DMC 3 and played first mission with shirtless Dante and his manboobs were flying all over the place I'd be grossed out.

Sometimes I wish to be patrolling the Mojave, and wait for nuclear winter after reading this.

I'll take things you're not allowed to say on Off Topic for 500$, Alex.

I believe you should be able to edit all of your characters features no matter how ridiculous

You'll be able to one up Aloy with some solid upper torso man bubbles.
For the culture...

Hopefully it's epic exclusive so I don't have to see it for a year.
