Gamers once more proving they've never actually touched grass nor seen an actual woman
Also showing how creatively bankrupt they are. It's no wonder they flocked to AI and poisoned it to yassify everything.
Oh fuck off, Angela is a [CW: SV, Self-harm]
spoiler
19-year-old sexual abuse victim who killed her father who abused her and now contemplates self-harm and suicide due to guilt and self-hatred
She was never some fucking video game babe even back in 2001. Characters in the Team Silent games were intentionally realistic and often average looking people
Show
Even without context, I was like "why'd they make the game character look like a girl from an Idol group?" Turns out it was G*mer bullshit all along.
I mean, not to give the
any points, but hasn't this been the function of most of the horror genre for a long time? They've always made the scary movies a little horny.Depends on which scary movies tho. Making this character in this game look more appealing to horny dudes is missing the point soooo hard that it's pretty hilarious.
Depends if it's shlock horror like zombie games or dino crisis then yes Gamers do the big horny, for more psychological horror games such as Silent Hill, Siren, or the Fatal Frame series then most characters are on avg plain or "traditionally good looking" but don't look like they have a mobile trailer following them to apply make up every couple hours.
Fatal Frame
Compared to Silent Hill and Siren, Fatal Frame's never gone for absolute photorealism and its female protagonists have basically always looked more like Japanese idols. Not sexualised*, but very pretty with overdesigned outfits you wouldn't probably realistically wear when exploring an abandoned old Japanese mansion
*That is until Fatal Frame 5, the last game in the series as of now. It's absolutely full of bouncing boobs everywhere, even on the ghosts, many of whom are buxom babes with tons of cleavage showing. The game also had a wet t-shirt mechanic that allowed you to see the characters' underwear through their clothing
True, I guess for modern standards looking like an average idol or athletic woman is average to gamers compared to the various AI generated abominations they keep making
And this is the problem with the improved character design - she's wearing a turtleneck instead of a plunging neckline with massive bazongas, hence why AI is completely flawed.
Modding female characters in Silent Hill 2 to look more like fuck-dolls has to be a whole new level of missing the point of the story.
What if we had a psychological horror game about average people trapped in hell but the average people were actually 10/10 smokeshows?
Since when did we need AI to help make every portrayal of a woman in media exactly the goddamn same? We were achieving that unhealthy standard long ago.
Someone who has a twitter account (🤢🤮) and more committment to the bit needs to yassify, idk, Freddy Kruger and Big Boss or whatever masculine characters are supposed to look tough or scary.
It would be funny stoking the outrage from chuds when they see characters they think are badass with a glow up.
Kojima completely fucked up mgs5 but not making it absolutely clear to people that got in board with 3 and have been riding Big Boss's dick since that the dude was a fucking monster on the highest level. Ground Zeroes was a good start, but yknow I've played the msx games, Big Boss was ideologically pro child soldier. Your nuclear equipped mercenary nation could have maybe had more in game scrutiny cause yeah, being the AnCap military rogue state is bad and should be treated as such. Instead it romanticized it more than peace Walker even did. The fake BB was suuuuuch a bullshit cop out, the parasites or whatever were stupid. Phantom Pain should have destroyed any good will fans had towards Big Boss and not pulled any punches in doing so, instead they didn't even attempt a punch.
some company should make a game that makes you login via facebook or insta and generates the characters' faces by averaging out those of the player base. Then watch the ensuing meltdown about the characters being "ugly" or whatever
Gaming culture always contained the seeds of fascism and Gamergate was the fertilizer, the sun, the rain, and the black soil.
You know those experiments with the birds the unrealistically large and spotty eggs and the neglecting their actual children for the weird fake supereggs?
I think about that a lot.
s take me away if you must)
