I am sick of being forced to play ugly characters

[Jefft]

New fable games protagonist is eurgh. I like fable, but they could have made her not actively ugly?

With lara croft they literally got rid of anything that made her 'sexy', and made her so plain now.

Apparently having curves is offensive. And 'representation matters'. OK what about representing women who have boobs and butt's but still want to be outlandishly badass?

The standard is still like such for men and no one complains about it. Its so frustrating :(.

Examples: Joanne dark, lara croft, Regina from dinocrisis.

I'm just gonna edit this because I've had to r/whoosh so many people:
'Don't play the game'
Not my point at all. I still enjoy games, I'm not butt hurt about a character being ugly or not attractive. I'm complaining about the lack of strong powerful but also independent and sexually liberated characters in the industry. Think Lara Croft Tokyo level, where she hides dual pistols in her garter and kicks ass.

'Play 18+ games'
I'm not after porn. I'm after a strong female character that can act as a role model. I remember being like 7-8 running around in my swimming costume with water pistols pretending I was Lara Croft. Being excited about growing older, and having the woman parts she had but also being as cool and badass as her. I used to buy the guide books which had the risqué pictures at the back and I thought she was so cool and strong and free thinking.

Most female characters now are a husk of that. If they are that level of attractive then they are boring and have no personality. Or are helpless. Think Ashley in Resi. Annoyingly helpless at times and it feels like Leon has to constantly baby her like 'ooh Ashley ur so good at turning a wheel, such big brain'. It's just, eurgh -.-. Give me more Ada Wong (minus the atrocious voice acting). Hell make a resi with Ada as the playable main char.

Go downtown on a Friday night in any major city and you will see gorgeous women showing off their bodies in every single direction.

No way gamers would do that. It'd require them to shower, walk out and socially interact with actual people... They could even encounter a woman. A real one!

As you can see the stereotyping road goes both ways.

I want to give this a jester and a hilarious award but currently don't have the points atm.

And I can't take either of these posts seriously.


But stereotyping is very normal like racism, bullying it something that won't go away so why even say something like that as you can't change what other people think. Like how people think certain criminals are evil, etc. It just how life is.

The man who started this thread saying OP was a hormonal 12 year old now laments stereotyping while talking about gamers as though he is totally unaware of what Steam sells and what it is for. Remarkable.

Nice 216 post, 6th cube. This is living up to the digits. Others should take notes. Apply yourselves. Checked and true.

My 217 post if interpreted as 2:17 is 137 seconds, the 33rd prime.

Okay, I'll be the 666 cube now. Rotate it 180 and it's 999. 9+9+9=27, the 3rd cube, 333. It's bbb, 222. Mirrored vertically it's ddd. 444.

Have you ever heard of mods?

Not every game ought to to follow the Bethesda model of releasing busted, broken, and buggy and requiring mods to fix. Game designers should not be releasing purposefully ugly character designs on us to begin with.

For a TL;DR

OP is mad because his gaming characters aren't thick anymore and is blaming SJW ♥♥♥♥ for making Lara Croft's boobs smaller

And he is correct on all counts.

Is it because SJWs or because those games now want to appeal to lots more people than the 'I like my characters thicc' bunch?

Imagine Laura becoming an out of shape sjw with multicolored hair and clear plastic glasses and has a special designated button for the meltdown screams to wipe out the enemies near the area. Instead of tackling the physical and mental challenges that lie ahead of her, she complains and blames it on her parents for colonizing. She then starts to question her very gender why is there two? Final boss would be the milky color Christian "colonialists" who are set out to repress her.

Probably the former because to argue otherwise then involves having to come up with an alternate means of explaining the weird sex obsessed neuroses involved with the people who accuse folks who prefer good character designs like Joanna Dark and Regina of just wanting their characters "thicc"

Whereas picking the former answers that question perfectly.

Back in my day video game characters didn't even have faces.

You kids...

[Zilkenian Davenport]

I prefer male main characters, but yes, nowadays they all have the same face with different... sliiightly different hairstyles. Even the villains look like the heroes, but with grayed out skin.
Where's the creativity?

Quite a powerful cabal of people able to bend an industry to do their bidding.
