Real women have eyes the size of small plates, their head is twice as wide as their hips and they don't have visible noses, unless viewed from the side.

I'll never forget when people lost their shit over the Horizon Zero Dawn protagonist having peach fuzz on her face.

[–] Saltblue@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And mocap actress was so pretty they had to tone down the alloy model, and make it uglier, in TLoU2 Abby's man body model, when they could have used a women's body model.

it's truly a artistic choice? Or it's the devs badly disguised fetish?

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 years ago

What fetish are you suggesting the employees of these companies in the chain of approval for these decisions all coincidentally had in common for it to make it out to a public audience unchallenged?

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't think the mocap actress being in the 40s had anything to do with it?

To be fair that does look like a dude

[–] Elivey@lemmy.world 78 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You seriously need to go outside if you think that looks like a man holy fuck

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

it’s okay kid, you’re allowed to be attracted to men with long hair.

[–] Elivey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I am attracted to men with long hair.

Don't know what that has to do with this picture though, this doesn't look like a man.

It’s Homelander in a red wig.

The constsnt push for realistic graphics has created this kind of paradox where Gamers want games to look 1:1 like real life but they also have no idea what a normal human woman looks like.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honestly, my first thought was that she looks like a younger Amy Dumas (aka Lita from WWE). It's really pretty weird that people are so quick to say she looks like a man just because she doesn't look like a waif.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Can I have games that look like Deep Rock Galactic but higher framerates and more zombies and more emergent gameplay dynamics?

Also devs who aren't crunched and are well paid so they can parent and touch grass sometimes too.

If I had to guess: Harry Potter takes his glasses off, makes love to Frodo, and they have a beautiful baby boy.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

She looks like an average woman. People who go outside and interact with people understand that not every woman looks like a supermodel

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People who go outside and are not socially inept unlike yourself also realize some women can look like a man at a glance.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Funny ad-hom definitely helps your argument

If this is what a "woman that looks like a man" is to you, you have not met enough women

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 13 points 2 years ago

Or men for that matter.

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine getting this upset over a video game rendering of a person that doesn’t exist.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

... I'm not lmfao, you're the one obviously upset given you throw ad homs around

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

looking at just her face while ignoring her hair it kinda does

"Faces are affected by human variation and the ability to tell genders apart is mostly contextual. More at 11."

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

no srsly. deeply. honestly.

WTF?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks a bit like Kristen Stewart in that screenshot.

There's just a lot of neckbeards out there that assume any woman with a better chin than them (and that's not difficult) is a man.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I think she looks like Kathryn Hahn

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I think, "Alloy has a beard." Is the best example of this.

[–] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, it's only Bethesda that does not know.

[–] onion@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can somebody explain the re-Xed X?

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 52 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The straightest Peter (parker) got the manliest MJ (Mary Jane), sadge (twitch emote for sad/cringe). It's a chud being a chud about Mary Jane not being fuckable enough for their tastes in a spiderman game, because that's an opinion people have now I guess

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

To he fair regarding the facts, MJ is supposed to be far more attractive than a “normal” woman and way out of Peter’s league. She fixes his fashion and gets him to ditch the glasses.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Idk, after a quick google I think this portrayal of MJ is faithful. Perhaps that's just me/my tastes. She's well above average. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that could honestly say that she's average/below average.

Within the confines of comic books and adjacent media, perhaps she's not as attractive as originally intended due to the hypersexualization of people in this genre. That's more of a comment on the social conditions that lead to this trope rather than if she's fuckable or not though

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Eh, fair shakes.

There like 56 versions of MJ and some have wildly different character traits, visual features, and relationships with Peter, to claim that MJ is "supposed to be" anything just betrays ignorance of the franchise

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The fact that you dismiss that there is a baseline MJ on which all subsequent MJs are based on to at least some extent but generally have the character wholly intact betrays your ignorance of not only the franchise but of the comic book industry in general.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The baseline is literally "attractive redhead" and that's it.

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It’s a shame that that’s all you reduce her to.

[–] instamat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you explain the straightest Peter part too?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

I can't.

I guess I missed the part in Spider-Man Homecoming, where Peter and Ned cupped each others balls...

[–] objectionist@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

you mean the retweeted tweet? because why the fuck would you show a corporation manners

[–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

I'm enjoying that their question really was gibberish to me before you put it in normal terms. May it always remain that way

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Ah yes. Gamers are the oanes who want to push graphics to 1:1 with reality.

[–] SRo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

But she looks like shit

[–] jedi_hamster@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

What? I think she is cute and hot
