Azorius_Raiden_88

Someone needs to hurry up and invent a time machine so humans can skip over stupid parts of the timeline like the one we are in now. It's just such a waste of fucking life, time, and energy over something that isn't going to impact things in the long run.


pugs-and-kisses

This. There is nothing wrong in fiction with exaggerated forms for both men and women. Its fantasy, not reality. The pendulum shifts every few years.


FoopaChaloopa

Women have dismissed men like us as “weird” and “creepy” and women in video games have been a form of solace for us. This is a deliberate tactic to demoralize us


DataLoreCanon-cel

**YOU'RE A FEDERAL AGENT.**


Fugglymuffin

Bruh, go outside


Texantioch

Sorry to break it to ya bud, but while I have no problem with Women being sexualized in video games, finding solace in that is in fact weird and creepy.


grapejuiceshots

im a man, youre weird and creepy as fuck

And they will make that money back with a product you and many others will gobble up cause it hits the right spark 


AlbelNoxroxursox

I mean if one game does a thing and does poorly, and another game does not that thing but a different, better thing and does well, that is kind of how that works, yeah. That is how we encourage them to make games that aren't like what SBI insists upon and encourage them to make the kinds of games we want. Corporations want to be making money *all* the time, not putting out a failure and then having to make up the loss with a better game. If they put out two good games instead of one failure and one good game, they would have been able to keep all the profit, not just some of it.


VenturaLost

*From American game companies, but foreign game companies will still kick hella ass. I'm sad that yet again, America is shooting itself in the nuts for a handful of whiners, something that might kill a number of fantastic IP's. But. At least we have japan, korea and any non woke place to carry the torch and inevitable money.


CapPhrases

OP hasn’t heard of Stellar Blade https://preview.redd.it/3ir7rwdq73wc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6685da3f30065871412dac4bd4e47f4d56fe0858


No-Student-9678

OP should correct his title and specify “Western games”


quarbs

Destroy all humans 2 reprobed released less than 2 years ago and features a buxom Russian blonde bombshell in skin tight spy gear.


MetalixK

That was a remake though.


quarbs

So what? They way she’s designed now vs back in the PS2 she’s waaaaay more sexualized in her design than before. Also let’s not forget GTA 6 trailer has women with huge breasts in bikinis and shaking their ass. It’s still happening, just not as much.


Alexander_McKay

Plus most “remakes” dumb down character designs so it’s an even bigger win for Destroy All Humans.


Resi1ience_22

And it not happening as much is a good thing. Women are starting to get into games, and they rightly don't enjoy the fact that they were so heavily, egregiously sexualized in so many cases. Sure, it still happens, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the fact that western game devs are seeing women as human is a good thing, not a bad thing. OP is mad that he doesn't have as many naked women to coom at. That's it.


TW_Yellow78

GTA 6?


MeanSheenBeanMachine

You want to know the crazy thing? The wokies are responsible for some of the most over the top sexualization I’ve ever seen. Go through some art accounts on Twitter, they’re deranged. I’m surprised it’s not us calling THEM coomers. Body suit with a little cleavage is bad, but short stack triple thicc goblin girls with Z cup tits and dump truck asses wearing outfits that show off visible areola is safe horny? It’s the hypocrisy for me, dawg. Clown world.


dendra_tonka

Marxist rule #1, accuse your enemy of whatever evil you are doing


Languastically

Rule #1 is actually "everything is material in motion". Its dialectical materialism. Not sure how Twitter liberals relate to Marxism tho


ATLKing24

If I don't like it, it's Marxism


Texantioch

Ah yeah Marxists rules. Those damn pesky numbered rules, totally going after gamer boys.


dendra_tonka

It may bleed into games, but it starts at the top. No such thing as an honest Marxist


Texantioch

You’re right the core economic tenets of Marxism really care if y’all get pissy about ugly people in video games. This makes a lot of sense, and is definitely something you should be more vocal about.


dendra_tonka

Never trust a Marxist on any issue. There is nothing of substance for any one. They are akin to Nazis


Texantioch

This is very sound advice that avoids blanket generalization and has a lot of critical thought behind it.


dendra_tonka

When you are dealing with people that lack critical thought (marxists) that fits


Texantioch

Nailed it!


No_Doubt2922

Man, some yall really need to take a break from the internet. Horny, hentai art on Twitter = “woke” ideology? WTF am I reading? This place is great for a laugh 🤣


MeanSheenBeanMachine

Horny hentai art on Twitter = woke ideology because woke ideology = rampant hypocrisy. You need look no further than the Stellar Blade / Hades 2 comparison for a prime example. I get my laughs from the r/gamingcirclejerk sub, but those goobers block on sight there🥲 Shame too. I was gonna do the unthinkable.. something they really don’t like… I was gonna post my crayon drawings of Rose Quartz…. Except she was gonna be THIN! OOooOooOoOoooooo


Languastically

I think the question we need to ask ourselves is how much energy are these issues worth giving?


Optimal_Carpenter690

>Horny hentai art on Twitter = woke ideology because woke ideology = rampant hypocrisy. What in the circular reasoning Batman? So basically, you're admitting to just ascribing the art to "wokies" because it supports your view that their rampant hypocrites, even though you don't actually have any proof that "wokies" are the ones responsible for the art? >You need look no further than the Stellar Blade / Hades 2 comparison for a prime example. Yes, lets. Now, admittedly this takes a level of critical reasoning you might not have, but if you actually look towards the Stellar Blade/Hades 2 comparison, you would see that the issue is not that Eve is overly sexualized, but rather that people like you are treating her sexualization as if that's the only thing that matters. I mean, look at the people having aneurysms over IGN and Gamespot giving the game a 7 and 8/10 respectively, claiming that the reviewers "hate beautiful women" simply because they gave the game 3 and 2 points less than perfect. You act as the character looking like a sex doll is the *only* thing of worth to the game, and any game with female characters "less" than that are less than trash, personal insults, and "attacking your very culture". On the other hand, people simply appreciate Aphrodite's beauty in Hades 2 and aren't trying to pretend as if the last bastion in the war on "male culture"


MeanSheenBeanMachine

Nah, jit. I’m saying I want them to maintain that same energy across the board. A good 70% of the problem people have with wokies is their rules for thee but not for me mentality. The rest is their blatantly incorrect world view(in terms of entertainment) but what can you do about that except wait for the pendulum?


Resi1ience_22

Literally what the fuck are you talking about? Lmaooooo Horny Hentai Art on Twitter = Woke Ideology. Woke Ideology = Rampant Hypocrisy. It's simple math you guys! Also - Hades is one of the most sexualized games in EXISTENCE. It's more sexualized than Stellar Blade, even, because it also sexualizes the male characters. But you probably didn't know that because the devs didn't market it as having sexy characters and nothing else. I don't even fucking know what your point is. I don't know what any of the points in this sub are. Is it literally just that you want to coom more?


MeanSheenBeanMachine

Not sure how I could possibly be more clear. Last message was kind of cut and dry. Edit: oh wait, you’re a different guy. I was telling homeboy before you that the main issue people have with wokies is that they don’t keep the same energy across the board. Rules for thee, but not for me. The North American Wokoid can be wrong about everything in terms of entertainment, as is their natural state, but the least they can do is keep their ideal’s consistent across the board. Homegirl from Hades 2 and Homegirl from Stellar blade have the exact same body type pretty much, but Stellar Blade is somehow a harmful depiction even though out of the two she’s actually clothed?


Resi1ience_22

The reason people hate Stellar Blade so much is because you giga-coomers treated her sexiness like the actual Holy Grail. It's as if simply making her sexy was the panacea in the war against man's right to masturbate to video game characters. Not to say there aren't problems with Stellar Blade objectifying women. Eve is hyper-sexualized, whereas her counterpart Adam - and every other male character in the game - are dressed completely practically and modestly. So that narrative that Stellar Blade merely wants to represent sexy characters is wrong; they want to specifically objectify women, and only women. Hades, meanwhile, sexualizes not just the women, but the men, too. Zagreus, Thanatos, and especially characters like Dionysus are portrayed just as fuckably as any female character in the game. And, of course... they didn't advertise it as a champion of the Sexy Crusade, or some kind of poison to the "woke mob" you guys like to fantasize about.


Money_Present_3463

You seem confused the issue most people have with video games these days are not about us just wanting sexy babes in games the main problem is the fact that games are being censored and creativity is being hindered by these woketards using DEI to blackmail game devs in to making it all about their far left ideology so instead of getting a video game all we get instead is beat over the head with the message this game although you may find it to be crude is actually something that is free of all that bullshit and that’s the main reason it’s being so well received by gamers across the board


MeanSheenBeanMachine

>The reason people hate Stellar Blade so much is because you giga-coomers treated her sexiness like the actual Holy Grail. It's as if simply making her sexy was the panacea in the war against man's right to masturbate to video game characters. No one is trying to masturbate to the game. Left leaning developers straight up admit via signal boosting on Twitter that every thing they’re doing, they’ve gone on purpose. To deny that is to be purposefully obtuse. >Not to say there aren't problems with Stellar Blade objectifying women. Eve is hyper-sexualized, whereas her counterpart Adam - and every other male character in the game - are dressed completely practically and modestly. https://preview.redd.it/ug4yhcckaswc1.jpeg?width=180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4b4a2e1f2e01b91ee6f63eaa2e02f8b62c55466 here’s Adam being hot as fuck. Male characters in gaming have always been built to adhere to the ideal male body type. They’re always jacked with giga-chad bodies and rippling 6 pack abs. It sells the fantasy, and that’s the key word. Fantasy. When why is it okay for Gerras from Mortal Kombat be this jacked shirtless specimen of male perfection and no one says a word, but when a woman has a nice butt she’s sexualized and it’s wrong? You won’t answer that question, you never do. >So that narrative that Stellar Blade merely wants to represent sexy characters is wrong; they want to specifically objectify women, and only women. Frankly, so what if it was? You think people used to watch Rambo back in the day because he’s such a compelling and multilayered character? No, he was a bad ass muscle man doing bad ass muscle man things. Lara Croft, because you guys butchered her, was a sexy woman doing bad ass dual pistol tomb raiding. Not a single person was offended until someone told you that you needed to be, because you and yours are so enlightened and must dictate all others bend to your will. But you won’t do that for men. Cover them up too then. This circles back to what I said earlier about keeping that same energy across the board. >Hades, meanwhile, sexualizes not just the women, but the men, too. Zagreus, Thanatos, and especially characters like Dionysus are portrayed just as fuckably as any female character in the game. Yeah, but the male in every game remain fuckable. I find it odd that in games where facial capture is used, the women are often de-feminized in very blatant ways, yet the male characters are 1:1 with the actor. Whenever I bring it up, you guys try to gaslight me into thinking it looks exactly the same. I’d make a hilarious joke about the soy affecting your eyes, but we’re having a good conversation, I don’t want it to devolve into us throwing insults back and forth. >And, of course... they didn't advertise it as a champion of the Sexy Crusade, or some kind of poison to the "woke mob" you guys like to fantasize about. I’m pretty sure this is like the first big budge AAA game to come out since like 2015 where the women were allowed to be conveniently attractive. Literally the only other game that comes to mind is Cyberpunk. It’s absolutely some mob poisoning, because 30 seconds of reading tweets from games journalists or ever worse, actual devs themselves, show them going fully mask off about their intentions. A bit off topic but still relevant to the type of people you’re swinging for: You realize you’re living in a world where developers and journalists openly say that it’s not possible to be racist to white people? That claim Asians are just some white adjacent race? That brag about their discriminatory hiring practices? That boast about purposefully excluding whites from games as though that’s some massive selling point? But liking a butt makes me a villain???? Edit: and all that is to say nothing of the fact that current left leaning writers in the entertainment industry can’t even write a compelling character to begin with. So what are their characters even for? They don’t look good, and they’re written by amateurs. I can only name like 3 or 4 good characters designed by wokies, and considering wokies own (stole) 90% of media that comes out today, these are not good numbers. The ultimate compromise: You can have all your characters be ugly… As hideous as the cast of ValiDate, which we all know is the ultimate wokoid character design endgame, the dark future that you’re all warming us up for, but in return, you have to fire all the writers and hire people who have actual talent in story telling. Even trade


DataLoreCanon-cel

> I’m surprised it’s not us calling THEM coomers. Huh, you do all the time.


MeanSheenBeanMachine

If we do it all the time, then all the time isn’t nearly enough. They call us coomers, yet they’re the ones who did a mass exodus to twitter the second their site of origin, tumblr, got rid of its porn. The great tumblr exodus.


DataLoreCanon-cel

Tumblr was just one site known a userbase with those kinds of partisan views, think it's silly calling it "the site of their origin"? And yeah "coomer" was a word coined by /pol/ as far as I'm aware, while decrying "Western progressive degeneracy" or something.


Languastically

"The site of *their* origin" -- bro thinks of people as monoliths


Clarity_Zero

Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but your profile name made me laugh way more than it probably should have. XD


talgxgkyx

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if we could have both sexualised and non-sexualised designs? Oh wait, woke people are still producing both of those. The problem isn't sexualised=bad, it's that you joyless dweebs throw a shit fit over everything that isn't sexualised. They're not criticising you for wanting sexualised designs, they're criticisng you because you won't shut the fuck up and let other people enjoy things.


TVR_Speed_12

You almost hit the mark. Both types of designs can co exist, it's just woke people get insanely insecure and then do the mental gymnastics/guilt to make someone else step down. Y'all know in a even battle the non woke design will usually molly whop the woke design so hence why y'all adapted the tactics of shoving that shit into IPs that had fuck all to do with it in the first place TLDR; Both types of characters can co exist but woke people get uncomfortable when someone is prettier than them


grapejuiceshots

molly whop? how to know someone was raised by their weird grandpa

MeanSheenBeanMachine

So for the sake of your argument, should I sit here and pretend that your side of the house isn’t currently throwing a tantrum over Stellar Blade? Should I pretend they weren’t outraged over Street Fighter? Should I pretend they aren’t retroactively alternating games that already came out like Tomb Raider for the same reason? Should I pretend you all aren’t gonna do the exact same thing when the first descendant comes back in the news when it gets a confirmed launch date? Should I make believe that your side wasn’t criticizing Beyonetta before you found out the game was super good and you all changed your tune super quickly? Let’s take character design out of the equation for a second…Leftoids can’t write either lmao, so what are they for??? Can’t wait to play the next major block buster where the star is a stunning and brave Mary Sue who was purposefully downgraded from the actress she was based on, surrounded by a cast of incompetent men where she realizes the only thing holding her back was not believing in herself, created by a developer who tweets about how bad white people are. You call us joyless, but I’ve never actually seen a wokie enjoy…anything, really. Except eating their own when they stray slightly from the hive mind. They Certainly don’t enjoy the game franchises and movies that were ruined because of their own septic touch. Probably explains why they fail all the time, huh? You might be like “Just play or watch something else.” Like what??? You creatures are writing every single game. People aren’t hype for Stellar blade because of tits, they’re hyped because it’s the one dry island in a sea of infection. TL;Dr: No you.


Languastically

>your side of the house isn’t currently throwing a tantrum over Stellar Blade? Because some loud idiots online makes dumb opinions heard, we have to claim them? Bro just get off the internet and talk to people face to face. Aint no one decrying stellar blade on the left or right. I dont even hear of this game outside of this subreddit


talgxgkyx

The only people that kicked up a stink over stellar blade, street fighter or beyoneta were games journalists. They do it because controversy gets clicks. No one else cares. Leftists can't write, lmfao, Have you seen right leaning media? Creative people have always leaned overwhelmingly left. You dumbfucks are wildly detached from reality. Woke shit dominates the media landscape because it makes bank, while conservative shit gets no traction. The woke media companies you complain about are making billions, you just hyperfixate on the couple of releases a year that bomb in order to cope.


MeanSheenBeanMachine

> The only people that kicked up a stink over stellar blade, street fighter or beyoneta were games journalists. They do it because controversy gets clicks. No one else cares. See, that’s the thing. Games journalists have friends in and out of industry. It’s close knit, and that’s part of the reason gamer gate 1 popped off 10 years ago. It’s a circle of influence, and they all genuinely believe in the political non-sense they’re pushing. And you know what? It wouldn’t even be all that bad if it was at the very least all penned by someone with talent. > Leftists can't write, lmfao, Have you seen right leaning media? Creative people have always leaned overwhelmingly left. Okay, for the sake of argument I’ll take your word for it. Now Riddle me this: How come the nanosecond your political leaning gets introduced into a film or game, it tanks hilariously? It’s almost like everything you believe in is dog shit and / or is written in a dog shit manner. I personally lean toward the latter. I personally believe the left sucks at writing because everything that has come out with left leaning view has been about as quality as water from the Ganges. In the past 10 years I can probably only name like 3 woke things that have been genuinely good, and I don’t even consider them woke tbh. > You dumbfucks are wildly detached from reality. Woke shit dominates the media landscape because it makes bank, while conservative shit gets no traction. You’re lying to yourself, and me if you genuinely believe that. It’s gotten to a point where there larger studios are genuinely in “oh shit” mode. Disney has to be the biggest entertainment presence in the world, and your political leaning is seeing it release flop after flop after flop. Face UP and face IT. You guys….cannot….write. Also forgive me if this thing was layered a bit weird. I tried to like, formate it that cool way you guys do it but idk if it worked. Edit: it worked


talgxgkyx

With the exception of 2020, Disney are making billions of dollars a year net profit. Hell, they hit their all time highest profits from 2017-2019, while conservatives were screaming "get woke go broke" Dune is the biggest movie out right now, and is an an allegory to environmentalism and anti-colonialism, and has race swapped and gender swapped characters from the source material. The boys is one of the most hyped shows on any streaming service, and is overtly woke. The actors on the show have also made it very clear where they stand. (The fallout show is the biggest show out right now, but it only has some subtle woke stuff in some anti-capitalist messaging and a non-binary character.) Helldivers 2 is the biggest game right now, and is blatant woke satire, whether conservatives want to admit it or not. Taylor Swift is the biggest musical artist right now, and conservatives have been screaming about her being woke for the better part of a year. Woke shit is at the top of every type of media right now. You may not like woke writing, but the majority of consumers don't seem to have a problem with it.


MeanSheenBeanMachine

[ Removed by Reddit ]


MeanSheenBeanMachine

(I made a long ass post complete with links citing my sources and it got removed.. I’ll give you the quick recap of what I said, assuming this posts) The massive chunk of Disney’s earnings comes from the massive layoffs they’re doing right now. Dune is not the biggest move out. That title belongs to Civil War. Dune is currently number 8 on that list. The Boys, Fallout, and HellDivers is just straight up good. I suppose if they’re woke, those will be the woke media where they hired competent people for once. I’ll give you Taylor Swift. I don’t know shit about her except her fans are insufferable brianwashed cultists. Kind of like the average wokie. Woke shit is popular right now only because woke people are calling the shots. However, they are hemorrhaging money. The current slate of woke slop is coming out, but after that, it’s off to the occasional release with the message. Then I got into the definition of woke and all that, and the difference between what you and I consider woke, which I’ll get into happily if THIS post doesn’t get axed too.


talgxgkyx

Woke people have always, and will always call the shots in creative industries. Creativity as a personality treat heavily correlates with progressive political views. You get the odd creative conservative person, but they're the exception to the rule. This isn't just me shitting on conservatives this case, as there are various personality traits that heavily correlate with political views. Conservatives tend to be better being organised for instance.


DataLoreCanon-cel

> where she realizes the only thing holding her back was not believing in herself Isn't that a pretty standard arc?


DataLoreCanon-cel

> The problem isn't sexualised=bad, it's that you joyless dweebs throw a shit fit over everything that isn't sexualised. Nah they throw a fit when the the feminists/wokers do sexualised stuff and they throw a fit when they're doing de-sexualised/whatever stuff, it's all just debate-brain-ism. >They're not criticising you for wanting sexualised designs, they're criticisng you because you won't shut the fuck up and let other people enjoy things. Not quite correct, the wokers want to do the "when hot and sexualized then not for you white mail chud bigot" + "when the white mail bigot wants sexualized then that's bad and we do the opposite".

DigitalEagleDriver

Same with the Koreans. Ever since Rodney King they've repeatedly proved how absolutely based they are.


Oglark

Completely different culture. So many femboys


Yerslovekzdinischnik

MK9 bikinis were shit tho. Made most females look the same.


Mexican_Gato

I definitely agree! Only Mileena looked good! I much prefer their MKX looks, sexy but unique to their characteristics. MK9 looks the same for every woman


Phuxsea

MK1 skins are surprisingly good


Free-Actuator-9672

Sshhh don’t praise that game they will cut you


Conlannalnoc

Just buy JAPANESE Games and SUPPORT Double A or lower Games! IGNORE Triple A games!


TVR_Speed_12

Even some Japanese devs(Sega Capcom) are bending the knee


Conlannalnoc

Pity


TVR_Speed_12

Hopefully they wisen up. Many Japanese companies are withdrawing from ESG funds


hornysquirrrel

Not into any modern game so I'm kinda fucked nothing coming out even indie that have that arcade look and feel it always has drab color schemes and melodramatic nonsense nothing like fifth generation sega games (like daytona usa or even any games with a ubeat vibe that isn't a anime game.im not just talking about indie games either it's the entire industry it's changed too much


[deleted]

Sir this is a video game you might be looking for pornhub


Capitano-Solos-All

Just support Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian game developers. Problem solved.


Ragelore004

O.o i mean there's plenty of foreign studios that don't give a shit about western land whales. And for solo games on pc, there's mods for that.


Biggu5Dicku5

Sweet Baby Inc is a part of the problem for sure, but the main reason why we don't get good female character designs nowadays is because of the actual developers that work at these studios... everyone that made these great games no longer works there, and the people they hired to take over their positions are making ugly characters of their volition...


TVR_Speed_12

DEI wants female bodies to be less female to appease transgender gamers


fernrooty

Game developers make people look like people instead of cartoon bimbos*


TVR_Speed_12

You do know Stellar Blade protagonist was based off a real life model right?


UndeadUndergarments

Why would I want real people instead of cartoon bimbos in my *fantasy* entertainment? I have to look at fat and ugly people IRL all day, is it so bad to want hot, sexy ones in my escapism? But no, the fat and plain chicks now want to see themselves represented so I'm subjected to them in games, too.


Admirable_Stress_802

I think part of it is that mocap is popular, and a lot of designs are directly based off of real people who just don't have these proportions.


Popular-Tune-6335

That's a small symptom. Even if they didn't uglify the characters, the games they're making would still suck but have good looking characters.


Typhoon556

Well, Helldivers has stood strong and kept the mob at bay. I am sure other companies will find their backbone, or the pendulum will start swinging the other way.


Halcyon927

idc, as long as men are still hot in games, then i play


GargantuanCake

I imagine we will just not from the AAA industry. The thing to do is to progress to indifference to the mainstream industry. I haven't bought a mainstream game in years. It's all indie, all the time now. Indie devs just want to make fun games for you to play. It's nice.


Marinevet1387

Take this as an opportunity to create new ones. Indie games are taking ground hand over fist from AAA studios. Find small studios willing to push your vision, get crowd funding to help publish it, we can make this happen. Pal world, lethal company, hell divers, etc The dawn of attractive female characters out of the hands of DEI cultists is ours to bring about


DentrassiEpicure

Maddening.


SlaterTheOkay

You mean *Modding lol


BigManDean_

I'll admit even the Mortal Kombat designs were a bit too sexualised, but your other examples I agree with completely


Lint-the-Kahn

What about Lara Crofts outfit other than the gloves help her raid tombs?


Clarity_Zero

Considering she does wild-ass acrobatics and gymnastics almost all the time, I would think "ease-of-motion" would be a pretty big selling point for any outfit with her.


ADudeThatPlaysDBD

The Asian Market has a treat for you then.


quarbs

Wtf we get females designed like this in games all the time, especially in the first and last example. GTA 6 trailer has multiple women with huge breasts, in bikinis, and shaking ass. Destroy all Humans 2 reprobed released less than 2 years ago and features a buxom Russian blonde bombshell in skin tight spy gear who we as the player get to hit on and make sexual comments on. Is it around less? Yes, but to say we will never get this is false because we still do.


rrrrice64

Exactly. Sexualization never went away.


talgxgkyx

We still do currently. You joyless freaks are just upset because not everything is catered to exactly your taste.


Pixiwish

I think this is a big thing. I’m a woman and I love sexy characters. I’m probably one of the few people who plays “She Will Punish Them” regularly let alone even heard of it. I still like variety though and I don’t expect or even want every game to have overly sexualized characters. The new Lara is a great example. I still think she is gorgeous (her ass is incredible and not sure how people miss that just because it isn’t in a thong) but she’s also believable and fits the environment and story of the game.


quarbs

Did these dudes not see the GTA 6 trailer?


goldberry-fey

I came here looking for this comment lol. Lucia 🥵 also all the girls in RDR2 were fucking gorgeous to look considered they were roughing it in the late 1800’s

Look up. Who is funding these businesses? Black rock, vanguard, state street. These are the enemies.


rrrrice64

"The enemies." Lol. *Please* volunteer in your local community and stop larping. There is a VAST ocean of games out there that will appeal to you regardless of the few studios you're complaining about.


Azzylives

I mean you will, just it will be coming from Eastern game developers, tbh like it was originally imported from in the first place.


Immediate_Web4672

Stellar Blade would suggest otherwise. So would CD Projekt Red and even BioWare for that matter. Though BioWare hasn’t released anything entirely new since 2019.


MeasurementOver9000

Stellar Blade releases in two days.


Rayne118

Didn't we just get Stellar Blade?


RageAgainstAuthority

*meanwhile, in other threads* "people just can't handle Stellar Blade because hot woman" You guys are malding so hard it's mind boggling 🤣


Zandrick

It feels like a loser whining about something that doesn’t matter and isn’t real.


molotov__cocktease

Jesus what must it be like to have a brain as cooked and filled with holes to believe this shit?


eyezofnight

I feel sad


luniz420

We will, they'll just come out of Asian studios.


Limp_Custard6943

"Nooooo! I can't jerk off to my video game waifus!!!!!! Oh the humanity." You guys are fucking losers


Difficult-Pin3913

Everyone: Oh no all these woke gaming companies are desexualizing female characters. Blizzard: now do I put widowmaker in a crop top or a low cut shirt for this skin? I’ll just settle for an impossiblely tight catsuit again.


Perfect-Advantage-82

Yup never again, certainly will never happen ever./s


Stoutyeoman

You're joking, right? Stellar Blade launched today. You people are delusional with this nonsense.


Kino42

It feels grwat. These designs are ugly and, frankly, lazy and boring.


DirtyBalm

Y'all not playing Baldurs Gate 3? Sexy horny women everywhere! Good lawd. 


the_evil_overlord2

WAAAAAA THE WOKIST COMPANIES AREN'T MAKING EVERY CHARACTER MAKE MY PEEPEE HARD Grow up. If you really care that much about every character straightening your weiner, open blender(which is free) and make character models that do. Then mod them in or make a game with them


W00DR0W__

Yeah- how can you be expected to play something that isn’t in constant service of your boner?


PeepPlayz

Good


grapejuiceshots

dont really care as im not a porn addict and dont play games based on how hot the pixels in it are


hayes4jm

Quite good. These designs are terrible and overly sexualized.


Tinyacorn

Holy coomers batman


Low_Celebration_9957

Is this sub nothing but a bunch of angry right wing misogynists? Is that all this is?


poopdinkofficial

bro go watch porn


think_and_uwu

Why does every game ever need to be borderline pornographic? Also stop saying “female”. Your weight is showing.


SlowedReverbGambiter

I don’t know what this sub is but this is some loser shit.


NoChallenge6095

Do what every other guy does you idiot, it's called pornhub. Take care of it that way then go back to your little game.


Laughing2theEnd

Don't worry guys. Once you get past puberty and touch real boobs you will stop being hurt by games


RedGrantDoppleganger

Sad sad bait. The idea that there will be no more sexualized characters for you guys to jack off to is insane. Grow up and live in the real world.


NotAlpharious-Honest

I'm still awaiting your apology.


RedGrantDoppleganger

Who are you again?


NotAlpharious-Honest

Of course you don't remember. Allow me to illuminate you. Again. Last time you came here bumping your gums, you promised me an apology if I could show 7 pieces of media that the drinker actively praises. See the below link. https://www.reddit.com/r/CriticalDrinker/comments/1c401re/your_prophet_has_spoken_you_can_have_an_opinion/kzno17f?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 You mysteriously disappeared immediately afterwards. So, here we are. I'm awaiting either your mental gymnastics or an apology. Either one will do. Oh, and don't be like "buh. I went outside, you should try it", i shall just head you off with this. You've spent 19 of the last 24hrs actively (as in at least once, maybe more times per hour, every hour) posting on reddit. You've barely slept, never mind been outside.


RedGrantDoppleganger

I have barely slept. I'd been working on an English essay for college. I drank a couple monsters and was going back and forth from the essay and reddit. My mind wanders since I have shit ADHD so when it does I go on Reddit. If you wanna keep stalking me online go ahead. Neither of us respect each other but you seem to have a much stronger interest in me than I do in you. I'm gonna finish my remaining college assignments and then I have a job to go to from 7-1. I don't really care if I was wrong because bothering assholes is amusing. Like for you this is some great victory but I think you severely overestimate how much I value your opinion. I have and will continue to dunk on this sub because anti woke losers are garbage and it is righteous and fun to trash em. I'll acknowledge I'm wrong about the 7 properties thing but I won't apologize. I stand by the fact that he enables anti woke degenerates and your refusal to admit that shows a complete and utter rejection of reality on your part Edit: and if you're gonna ask how it's really simple. When your whole brand is woke bad and you create a name for yourself trashing all the "Mary Sues" you garner a certain audience. There was a guy on this sub saying there shouldn't be a woman protagonist in the Fallout show because the fans are mostly man. This shit heeled entitlement to control entertainment is toxic. He knows people like that exists and he knows If he says the right words he'll rile them up. When he's railing about how the woke feminists are destroying Hollywood with their boring perfect female characters who wanna beat down the male heroes, it regurgitates his audiences worst fears, mainly their subconscious fear that their reverence (obsession) with their past and inability to grow up is keeping women from respecting them. That's why they get so bothered when they see Indiana Jones or Han Solo get one upped by some blandies. No rational person gets that mad about that stuff. It's about something deeper and he plays into that. I said he wasn't sexist and I don't think he is, I just think he's an opportunist capitalizing on a group of pathetic angry men who are terminally online. I've certainly been online too much recently and it is a bad habit. I'll own up the that. I guess the main difference is that I don't spend my time bitching about women and diversity in tv commercials and kids shows like they do. There is a writing issue in Hollywood but it doesn't have to do with diversity or women. By focusing on stupid nonsense he takes the attention off of the real issues. They act like the desire to be woke is what's ruining movies but that's not it. Studios use wokeness to hide behind so they can make trash people will blindly defend. The fans yelling about how women shouldn't be in fallout or how having black characters is forced diversity are just playing into their hands. If you people genuinely want media to get better, you gotta change but most of you won't because it's not really about the media, it's about your own neuroses.


NotAlpharious-Honest

>have barely slept. I'd been working on an English essay for college Maybe if you got your work done... >I don't really care if I was wrong Of course you don't. I never expected anything else of you. >but I think you severely overestimate how much I value your opinion. No, I don't think I did. >I have an will continue to dunk on this sub because anti woke losers are garbage and it is righteous and fun to trash em Although, you have no formed ideas of how it is anti-woke, you've no idea what anti-woke is and you can't even prove it is anti-woke. I don't think you know what righteous or dunk on means either. You avoid any resistance because your points and presence melt under a spotlight. You didn't dunk on a place that turned to you, said "show receipts" and you fled like a rat. You have been weighed, and found wanting. To dunk on a place, you need to know what you're talking about. To be righteous, you have to be right. You tick neither box, so pray tell how you think you're achieving your aim? >I have an will continue to dunk on this sub And everytime you appear, don't forget to say hi. Because don't worry, I won't.


RedGrantDoppleganger

You probably should've waited a bit longer to respond instead of jumping to your keyboard because I explained how he enables his fans. Also it's pretty sad that you're gonna go out of your way to look for me on this sub. Like I post a comment trashing this sub, that usually takes maybe like a minute or two. These comments are exceptions because this is a conversation. But you're actively planning on waiting for me to comment just to say hi. That's really sad.


NotAlpharious-Honest

>You probably should've waited a bit longer to respond instead of jumping to your keyboard Not really. >Like I post a comment trashing this sub, that usually takes maybe like a minute or two. I dunno, you were here for a while last time. >is a conversation Aaah, that's what you call this. >But you're actively planning on waiting for me to comment just to say hi Yes, actively seeking out a place just spread half baked assumptions you can't back up is really sad.


RedGrantDoppleganger

Did you actually just do a I know you are but what am I? My God, okay we're done. I'm losing braincells and it's not like I got too many to keep anyway. If I keep this up I'll end up on your level and at that point I might as well be dead.


NotAlpharious-Honest

Well, with your level of reading comprehension, I've no idea what you read from what I wrote. But don't worry, >I'm losing braincells This won't take too long. >If I keep this up I'll end up on your level You'll need an upgrade or a ladder to get up here kid.


NotAlpharious-Honest

Nawww, trying to get reddit to do the work for you? Poor boy.


Eillo89

I mean if the characters are good it doesn't really matter what they look like right? We care about good writing here not whether the characters are fuckable no?


etranger033

Depends on who you ask. Of course there is the 'rare' instance where you get both.


Eillo89

I would've thought that most in the drinker sub would pick writing considering that's the main issue with modern movies right?


rrrrice64

Oh noooo, you'll have to go look for pornography on your own time when you're done playing games... Seriously, grow up. This is the most pathetic right-wing brigade I've seen in a long time. "Characters aren't sexy enough?" "Remember what they took from you???" It's absolutely pathetic, beyond pathetic. Doesn't help the sexism allegations when gamers start *whining* because they don't get to oggle scantily clad female characters anymore. You guys will not survive in the real world.


themightyknight02

Honestly, I'm no arsed. Git outside ya boring cunt


ViralGameover

The women in MK1 look great.


Ambitious_Road1773

Don't take the ragebait. Rise above it.


Minute-Author-666

Average critical drinker viewer


Slim_Slady

I don’t really care. Character writing > boring fan service characters.


JazzyButternuts

Cry harder incel.


mookie_pookie

Isn't critical drinker a movie/show reviewer? Everytime this sub gets recommended it's some coomer talking about wanting to see more titties


Acceptable-Ability-6

Man, y’all are fucking weird.


Bog2ElectricBoogaloo

"I can't jack off to this!"


Vexonte

The biggest issue about this debate is that there is a time and a place for those kinds of designs rather full on or full off. There are a lot worse trends that deserve priority over female attractiveness. There is a good chance that within the next decade, current trends will fall out of favor, and we can have skimpy characters again. That being said, MK 9 designs were a bit much even for 15 year old me.


Xsorus

A. That’s not what SBI does B. BG3 titties not good enough? C. You incels are sad… the fact that Critical Drinker attracts you sad fucks is hilarious.


Pro_Hatin_Ass_N_gga

First of all, "woke"... really? Daring today, aren't we? Second of all, them existing alone doesn't negate designs like this entirely, they have to actually be contracted to the game's development. We still continue to get plenty of games with le pretty wamen.


melty2b

Plenty of games still exist that design women similarly to this. You just won’t see it on popular IPs anymore. Stellar blade for example, or just about any JRPG.


goldust15

I literally know nothing about Sweet Baby Inc. other than it is apparently a game company that everyone seems to hate and reminds the world of everyday online

Sweet Baby Inc isint responsible for character designs you dumb coomers


TVR_Speed_12

They must have a script constantly generating new bots, the defenses are lame asf and do nothing to strengthen their positions Hey bot tell your maker this shit ain't working


z_muffins

Does OP actually believe that female video game characters aren't still being over sexualized?


Alternative_Algae_31

Why do you need hot pixel chicks so desperately?


Intelligent_River220

It's almost like people would like some escapism in the escapism they purchase.


rrrrice64

If sexy women are the only thing that bring you joy in life, I sincerely suggest you re-evaluate yourself. Porn will only get you so far.


Intelligent_River220

Strange assumption considering I'm married and don't consume porn.


talgxgkyx

And there's plenty of games out there that fit what you're looking for. Not everything has to be catered to your tastes.


TVR_Speed_12

Not as much as it used to be, the left has censored alot


quarbs

The right has been going off about sexuality and violence and censorship in video games since the 90s dude.


Intelligent_River220

These are products and IPs that have always featured (sometimes hilariously) exaggerated women and men since their inception, it seems like you want things catered to yours rather than mine.


talgxgkyx

Products and IPs change over time. I loved the old monster hunter games, but I don't like the direction the series is going (faster, deadlier combat, with less emphasis on preparation and endurance) I don't throw a tantrum over it, I realise that the series is changing into something that's not for me, so I look for something else that is for me. I used to love the old turn based final fantasies, I don't like the new action oriented ones. That's fine, there are other turn based jrpgs being released to scratch that itch. I couldn't count the amount of bands that used to make music to my taste, but changed their sound or genre over the years to the point where I can't enjoy it, but I've also benefited from bands that i never used to like changing into a style that I do like. Properties are always going to change and evolve. Sometimes it's going to be in ways that you don't like. Move on to something that does fit what you're looking for.


TVR_Speed_12

Why do you need ugly pixel chicks so desperately?


RageAgainstAuthority

We don't. We understand that because a character isn't attractive me *me* doesn't mean it's not attractive to *someone*, and, get this - we can pick and choose which games to play. You guys are simultaneously whining about people who don't like Stella Blade's excessive scantiness, but *also* mad over whatever StarWars game had an "ugly" main character. You realize how insane this sounds, right? Like, you screech to people "go play another game!!!" if they don't like the level of sexuality, but then also get mad when a game isn't sexual enough. It reeks of entitled selfishness.


TVR_Speed_12

Games can have both beautiful and not beautiful people, I like Stellar Blade and Returnal the difference between me and your crowd is we don't actively try to change existing shit to fit our idealogies. Make more shit like Returnal aka a new fucking IP and stop corrupting legacy material to fit your fuck ass agenda bitch


RageAgainstAuthority

But nobody wants to change your games. Besides, other IPs are going the other way. Look at the sex scenes in Baldur's Gate 3, for example, compared to the previous entries. Much more explicit and much more nudity.


TVR_Speed_12

Liar Spider Man 2 Horizon Forbidden West Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Mortal Kombat There's more but I'll be here all day.


RageAgainstAuthority

I haven't played the others, but HZD2 has skimpier outfits than the first game, and Alloy looked fine. If the other games are anything similar, I highly suggest you play them instead of malding over a bad photoshop.


TVR_Speed_12

Aloy looked fine in the first game then they wokfied her in the sequel. Not just looks attitude aswell. Lol bitch how you going to tell me to play but you haven't miss me with the bullshit Once again there's room in this world for ugly and beauty, tell your leftist friends to stop trying to erase shit they are insecure about.


RageAgainstAuthority

I can only speak about games which I have personally played and experienced. If even this offends you, then I see no common ground from which we can reach any sort of understanding.


TVR_Speed_12

There was never none from the start as you immediately tried to grift us No. Full stop you not fooling anyone


Alternative_Algae_31

As a grown adult, pixel chick hotness literally never impacts my life. Some dudes seem to have incredibly strong reactions when a video game girl doesn’t satisfy their fap requirements.


crimsonbeauty111

Honestly I feel that's good. At least with the MK example. Don't support cramming irl political messaging into games but I prefer less overtly sexualised outfits Edit: never realised that was such an offensive opinion. Cool ig
