Against my better judgment, I ended up watching a bit because I desperately wanted to know that the fuck ESG is supposed to stand for. I still don't know, but I do know he blames BlackRock for blackmailing video game devs into not giving female characters huge jiggling tits
I had to stop watching after he brought up the whole conservative "ackhsually the Titan sub imploded because Stockton Rush hired woke black trans engineers" chestnut for some reason. Here's the link if you hate yourself
Also this guy's avatar looks like a Dexter's Lab character which saddens me
cartoon avatar complaining about SJWs ruining everything in video games
Trump running as president
Non 0% chance Hilldawg will also run
It’s 2016 all over again
I want Biden to die and Hillary to step up so bad it hurts. Seeing her lose twice would almost make it all worth it.
Don't know what the deal with the rest of those pictures is but Aloy from HZD was probably a bad choice to label as fat considering this is what she looks like when you don't zoom in on her face at a weird angle.
They've gotta scramble for something they can label as fat, considering fat characters basically don't exist in AAA gaming. Honestly I can't think of any fat human protagonist from any game. Ever. I'm sure they exist of course, but certainly not recently or often.
Dave the Diver as a recent example comes to mind (and is pretty cute as a game, but is basically about fishing and eating fish, so not absolutely not vegan friendly). There are a handful of fat fighting game characters, Borderlands has some. Wario maybe?
It's a very very short list.
Ahh, yep, fighting games definitely have a few.
Now, ultra hard mode. Fat human woman protagonists.
Can't believe I'm going to bat for Blizzard lmfao.
Diablo 4's "canon hero" is the Druid iirc. She has a wide stance and considered "strong fat". Like some power lifter shit but not quite. She has a very distinct silhouette compared to Barbarian Muscle Mommy.
World of Warcraft also has Kul'Tiran and Pandaren women as playable characters. They both have distinct body types too
First time I've seen D4's druid, yep, that definitely meets it.
Pandaren ladies also have a nice distinct body type and I like it, but I'm not sure I'd call them fat. Male pandarens get to be fat, the female ones are just kinda chubby.
You're right about Pandaren women. I hope I didn't come across as mean or anything like that.
I was more or less giving a shout out to Pandaren and Kul'Tiran women as good examples of body types outside the norm. WoW has been pretty good on that front and they deliver all kinds of different power fantasies in spite of everything.
idk, personally for me fat means fat. you can look at a person and see whether or not they're fat. it's not scientific, it's just a vibes thing. some people would call pandaren women fat im sure, but im not one of those people.
Literally how a lot of women would look if they did intense exercise that stimulates muscle growth, while on a caloric deficit in a survival situation. I thought gamers wanted the most realistic looking characters?
They explicitly don't want that for female characters. In their view, women in games should be made to look as flawless and exaggeratedly sexy as current rendering technology allows as well as cater to specific fetishes, realism or what makes sense for the setting be damned. They want them all to look like Cammy from SFVI and dress like her classic outfit.
Until a couple of console generations ago that was largely the norm which is what they're so salty about
"It's not supposed to be realistic, it's art so they should show the ideal female form"
A lot of these complaints are really telling on themselves that they've never seen a woman up close.
The best was people screeching about Aloy having hair on her upper lip/face.
Aloy is not fat, she literally has bicep veins and toned skinny arms lmao. Probably one of the more realistic looking woman characters if you take their activity level into account.
Seriously, it's weird the amount of weebs I see online calling people ugly for not looking like a cartoon.
The whole "emaciation is high fashion" deal was bad enough. The "ackshually you can't be pretty without breast enlargement" made it worse. Now these professional jackoffs demand emaciation, boob jobs, and a complete facial redesign. It's not even "just" fetishizing Asian women although that's a big factor - even they don't look enough like cartoon Asian women for the weebs
They don't want those things in their female characters. They want them to be designed like hentai characters from the word go
I'm thinking more of the weirdos who post women's selfies (invariably nice selfies at that) to circlejerk about how "ugly" they are, comparing them to cartoons or women in their "non-political" games. I guess they're probably the same weirdos, come to think of it
It just feels exactly like the shit I heard men saying at the mens-only outings from church, except that instead of comparing all women against supermodels in a linear and objective conception of attractiveness calibrated to the standards of the modeling industry, they're doing it with cartoons and video game characters
Or to put it less clumsily, the standards they want to impose on women's bodies are no longer constrained to what's possible for the human body
the standards they want to impose on women's bodies are no longer constrained to what's possible for the human body
This is pretty much it. When it comes to fictional female characters, they do not want any attempt at realism or even more diverse stylised characters.
They just want their set of fetishes or hentai imageboard tags reproduced in ever more increasing detail and fidelity
Apparently some BlackRock HR guy was filmed with a hidden camera on what he thought was a date, set up by the Project Veritas guys. The BlackRock guy talked about using the money from the funds to make every business woke, which I'm sure had nothing to do with him being a boring nerd trying to impress the incredibly attractive lady in front of him, and everything to do with BlackRock being the Antichrist org.
Even if he was being 100% sincere my reaction would be a shrug
If Blackrock gets broken up by the state, it won't be because of them trying to monopolize and make owning a house inaccessible, it will be to prevent wokeness.
it was a project veritas op. blackrock are obviously the scum of the earth, but anything said in that video should be presumed to be entirely fake.
Lol I like how every one of their undercover vids is like “even though I’ve only met you recently and you’re asking very specific and suspicious questions, I will give you the exact and complete details of my sinister evil operations using the same terminology that conservatives use, coincidentally.”
ESG is Environmental Social Governance, which is just a vernier of change but it has the riled up.
Right-winger bringing up capitalists talking about their plans for governance? If I had to guess they think the Jews are behind it all. Do they talk about cultural Marxism in the video at all? I don't really want to watch.
He apparently called Jason Schreier a Jew in the video so yes
It's amazing how antisemitism can really fill in any gap
Why video game lady no sexy no more?
The jews did it
Antisemitism is the ideological expanding foam that holds fash "theory" together. When your entire world view is just "i hate these people, i also hate those people, oh i absolutely fly off the handle when i see these people" and nothing else, when you start with an extremely long, completely random list of persecutable outgroups and want to turn that into a political tendency, the easiest way to do that is make up a backstory where jews, trans people or jewish trans people are the final boss of all the people you hate and organize all of them. In this case, to target gamers by taking away their fanservice, which absolutely is an indispensable part of the plot to exterminate white people.
He apparently called Jason Schreier a Jew in the video so yes
thanks for reporting back & taking the psychic damage for me
A coworker told me that ESG is a Chinese Communist plot to take over amerika.
That's the "before woke" photo, in the "woke" photo her skirt covers her ass
Video games no longer have sexy characters? Finally can play video games in front of my mom.
I haven't looked up ESG but I'm going to assume it means "Extremely Similar Guys" and refers to white male game devs.
I watched about half of the video (double speed muted with captions) and apparently it means ”environment, social and governance”. https://www.axios.com/2023/06/26/larry-fink-ashamed-esg-weaponized-desantis Just a term used by s to pretend they're doing good, but I guess it's maybe some kind of chud flavor of the month now?
The video is rambly garbage even by the standards of these kinds of videos.
I geniuine would have guessed that it is basically something wildly antisemitic. It's the kind of unhinged world view that always ends in blaming "globalism" and "them".
He refers to Jason Schreier as ”Jewish journalist Jason” at one point, so you're probably not far off.
Googling it wasn't helpful but I think you're on the right track. I was thinking it was "Extremely Similar Guy" but as in how there was that time period when the overwhelming majority of game protagonists were similar looking white guys.
I am so stoked to have normal looking characters in an RPG
The fucking medieval perfume models are so god damn annoying and cringe
Imagine you're immersed in a story and there is a really hot character you meet, and you can guess how people are going to act towards them, without needing one of the characters to like turn towards the screen and say "the writers have decided that this is the hot one and it will definitely be a plot point very soon"
The woman in the Fable trailer is a likely a VAGRANT MERCENARY, people not known for having their makeup game on-point
The fucking medieval perfume models are so god damn annoying and cringe
Skyrim modders:
It's what I think of every time. You have a game that is absolutely UNHINGED in its inability to create a normal looking woman, apart from like 2 old grandmas, and then thousands of fans are like no, why are these models so fugly, I need my corkbulb farmers and cave dwellers to look like boomer-tier porn stars
I'm old enough to remember when GamerGate was going on, chuds would say a lot of things like "Just make your own games if you want progressive themes or feminism or whatever." Ok well now there are games being made that don't always objectify women, or you don't play as standard white guy with a gun.
Has the shoe flipped or what? It's not illegal to make games about objectified women with big breasts. These incels can make their own games. Instead they make video essays.
Oh no, even more asset flip Steam games with weird prebuilt Real Doll player models
They're pretending that nobody actually would want to make "woke" games or they would never produced by the "serious people" in charge so "obviously" the wokes must be cheating the games in somehow.
Woke is being trans groomer and woke is also not letting me stare at kid ass in Skullgirls
