They got rid of her eye tattoo, the most iconic part of her design, and replaced it with big anime eyes, bigger tits, perked up nipples (for some reason). This "feminisation" really does hit all the notes of "I know women only from anime and porn because I don't go outside".

The eye tattoo being removed is the most boggling to me. Like everything else is standard thirsty fan art “enhancements,” but you’d think they’d find the tattoo exotic and alluring.

Tattoos on women are sjw brainwashing, sweetie.

Once they get tattoos, what's next? Freerunning?

And disrespecting authority by punching future cops ooooooooooooooh

The people into booba anime aesthetics are extremely conservative and so uncool that they think tattoos and piercings are unsightly

I guess it does fit into that weird preference of hyper-sexual maturity in the breasts and hips department but in every other aspect they want a borderline jailbait aesthetic

When the conventionally of conventional attractiveness collapses in on itself and becomes less attractive

Mirror's Edge came out in 2009. Are they going back to find things to get mad about?

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recognize this image from many years ago. I think it came out when Mirror's Edge was still newish.

"I know women only from anime and porn because I don't go outside"

this

And they'll cling to cute celeb types that encapsulate their preferences in porn/anime as justification that they aren't sexualising/feminising characters like these celebs are the norm for how women look.

This isn't fan art, it's early 2010s incel rage

[–] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't understand is this actually fan art or is it just hornyshopped?

[–] Omniraptor@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

It's a really old Photoshop from before the original game came out

I kinda like both. I think the breasts are a bit much but the right one suits a prequel. She basically looks younger, like it's when she was teenage before she got the tattoo.

That says a lot about some sexualisation and "feminisation" that these people do just being about making women into adolescents though.

Still, there's a good story you could tell with a younger version of this character and how she radicalised into what she is. Dice kinda leave the politics of their world and the motivations of runners completely untouched because they're either cowards or don't know how to write it properly.

Considering her normal design, changing the eyes that way also seems p racist

And I don't understand why someone would remove the eye tatt but leave the shoulder one. If only one was to be removed, I'd expect it to be the shoulder tattoo, but maybe I just don't get it.

The right half is basically just this minus the bit where it's a joke.

I seem to remember an ancient Kotaku article that this image accompanied about Japanese gamers complaining that Faith from Mirror's Edge wasn't attractive enough or that Dice didn't understand what an attractive Asian face looked like or something
