Yep, I've posted about this before, but Hasbro, the MASSIVE toy company, did tons of studies on why girls weren't buying toys compared to boys, and found exactly that. Boys want Iron Man, Captain AMerica, the Hulk etc, because they want to be them (so, just keep selling boys the same action figure toys). Girls on the other hand do not want to play with Wonder Woman or Harley Quinn or for example more recently Captain Marvel, no, they want plain jane barbies and similar that they can make do normal everyday things that they do. Girls want the doll play house set where they can make the dolls do their makeup or hair, or have tea parties or try on different outfits, etc (so, just sell them 20,000 micro-variations of the same bland empty template barbie doll set that all do the same thing). Does this sound like something that movie/tv show/video game protagonists (or antagonists for that matter) do, or does it sound like the banality of what women do every day? The thing is, this was done entirely as market research to find how to sell more toys, but incidentally ended up shining a light on a major difference between men and women's thinking, namely the real reason why no one, man OR woman, ever complains about seeing another half naked Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans, because men see extremely buff movie stars, or in this case video game warriors like Kratos or the dude from Gears of War for example, or who look like the Spartans in 300, just complete over the top muscle bound meatheads that in many cases nobody on the planet could possibly look like naturally, and they think, "Damn that dude is badass, I wish I looked like that" and that's it. Men don't see that and get jealous and alt f4 the game in a jealous rage at all this 'female gaze bait' or something LOL, but women... women, on the other hand, apparently get so flustered and defensive and self conscious when they see gorgeous FICTIONAL women, that they instead don't want to even look at them anymore, because they themselves are not that beautiful, and for some reason deep in their brain they feel like it's ALL a competition for the best men around, and they think they're losing... to pixels. And the men that DO want to look at said pixels must be superficial sexist misogynist pigs or something anyway! After all why are said men looking at miss FAKE GORGEOUS/'PERFECT' over there and not at plain jane THEM? M-Must be incels! TL;DR or rather put another way, you won't ever see supermodels crying about Stellar Blade.

This was confirmed in a study conducted by LEGO. Boys play with toys "aspirationally"; boys will take on the traits of Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, etc. Girls play with toys solipsistically; girls will make Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, etc. go shopping, go out to eat, and so forth.

Absolutely correct. The uglification we're witnessing across the entertainment media, is the woke brigade recreating female characters in their own image, because the initial traits are not inherited in themselves, such as beauty, slim bodies, femininity, and likable personalities, etc. They will change the world, before changing themselves, because they believe themselves perfect as they are.

Progressive values reject the concept of beauty. The idea of an innate sense of beauty offends their belief that human beings are blank slates who can be resocialized. The idea of a universal sense of beauty offends their belief that humans are stratified by class conflict. The idea of an achievable sense of beauty offends their sense of egalitarian anti-meritocratic laziness. Beauty is bourgeoise, beauty is elitist, beauty is a trick, beauty is racist, beauty is counter-revolutionary. To attack beauty is demoralizing and revolutionary. The Three Transcendentals are Goodness, Truth, and Beauty... They attack the first two, so of course they attack the third. How could they not?

4:20 to 4:32 This is exactly what I've been saying, yeah. Calling fictional characters "unrealistic" is kind of the entire point. Fantasies have no obligation to adhere to realism, and any realism it does already adhere to is entirely arbitrary, and always has been.

You can go that route, or you can just point to countless real life women who are "unrealistically" beautiful. The models that these characters are based on are already much more attractive, so how can their beauty be unrealistic? If beauty exists in nature, how can it be oppressive to you? Might as well declare a pretty sunset to be oppressive.

Discussions about how characters look has been going on in the superhero fandom for what seems like decades. Wonder Woman is a demgoddess who, like most superheroes, solves every problem with punching. That in and of itself is "unrealistic" so why does her appearance have to be realistic? It's canon that Princess Diana of Themyscira is an extraordinarily beautiful woman. Draw her that way! Superhero comics also show the double standard at play. The women have to be "realistic" but the men are still drawn to be very handsome and have bodies that are incredibly jacked. Artist Nicola Scott goes out of her way to make Nightwing attractive, with a special emphasis on giving him an amazing ass. I don't care (it's actually kind of funny) and neither does anyone else. It shows that straight women are already to look at beauty but straight men are not becase apparently the sexuality of straight men is inherently harmful to women.

I’m inclined to agree. I genuinely have no idea why Amicia is on this list. The games are about her from beginning to end. She’s also a beautiful looking character and she’s not even based off her VA.

The last 9 years of entertainment media have been [dons a tinfoil hat] A degeneracy/divide campaign. Most of these studios are literally written blank checks by special-interests [insert shadowhand name here] to make people angry, and less willing to form connections out of apathy. Doesn't matter how much a game underpreforms. They get more money than the titles' revenue. Ending Batman and making one of the worst titles in gaming? Mission accomplished.

I actually got an ad for that Star Wars: Outlaws game before the video. These advertisers clearly must not have been paying attention to what video they were allowing this ad to be used on. Seriously, shit like this is why I'm glad I prefer retro, indie, and/or Japanese video games that have a stylized look (cartoon, anime, pixel art, that sort of thing,) over these hyper-realistic AAA games that have been bitten by the "modern progressive" bug.

Remember when the argument against violence in video games was that gamers couldn't distinguish between fantasy and reality? Now fantasy has to be changed to "reflect" reality because gamers use it as an escape from the real world and they shouldn't be allowed to have that option.

I used to use Pokemon Go to exercise. My rule: I will quit the game when I look like my avatar. My avatar was slender and cool, and I wanted to look like her, so I got a lot of miles walked hatching eggs. Recently they updated the avatar and now it looks like a frumpy dude trying to be a woman. Now I look better than my avatar...so I quit. Admittedly, that's not the only reason I deleted the app...I didn't' want to look at that hideous thing on my screen, and of all the options to fix it, none of them made the avatar look cool and pretty. I would have accepted letting my avatar be one of the pokemon, ANYTHING to not have to see that frumpy reminder of CURRENT DAY.....games used to know that characters (male and female) had to be appealing. Nobody wants to spend hundreds of hours staring at ugly characters. And nobody is playing escapist video games to be reminded of current day politics and real world issues. Pokemon Go was a lovely escape into innocence and childhood fun, now it's just yet ANOTHER reminder of social justice warriors who can't leave anything alone.

Is this ever going to end? There is zero clarity on what people want. For me it is enough if a game is good and the character’s design mirrors the actual character being portrayed no matter how insane the design gets. I feel like many characters nowadays just look plain or have no personality.

I'm in the middle of this debate. I like attractive women but i've seen gacha games female heroes with backstories that don't match their look and outfits. Felt so out of place it ruined what little story immersion i had. I always like the ability to start off like like rags to riches. Humble beginning but as i level up and gain more fame and money, the character starts looking the role that has them carrying the plot and responsibilities. Eliminating all attractive women tho is an over correction. This is why i always love PC gaming. If the game doesn't come with a character creators, i can always mod it.

Where this really goes off the rails for me is the aversion to even allowing female characters to wear comparable clothing to women in the real world. Where if you are so inclined there is more to oggle on the average high street than there is in a video game who's primary audience will be male. I think there is a certain amount of spite that goes into this, especially since the same standards are rarely if ever applied to male characters. There might be some valid points about comparative male versus female outfits for the same class of character. But on the other hand there is also no shortage of overly muscled male characters in various states of undress. It feels like the objective is to not only try and seize full creative control over any and all depictions of the female form but also to ensure that there is no danger whatsoever of a male viewer having the slightest sexual thought in any medium that is mostly directed at them. With the exception of if it is explicitly presented as adult entertainment and the performers compensated accordingly. Sexual gratification for males is intended to be done on a purely transactional basis. But the additional problem with all of this is that it seems to fly in the face of how women appear to wish to represent themselves and the beauty standards that they choose to aspire to, even in the absence of the dreaded "male gaze". Whatever "sexualised" female figures the entertainment industry has dreamt up in the past, there never seems to be a shortage of women wanting to cosplay as those characters, whether that be for their own enjoyment or for a male audience (or a combination). But will they be so compelled to dress up as these bland, generic characters with all conventional femininity purged from their designs?
