What’s wrong with people? do people not like it when people look like people?

They’re whining DEI about white characters, now, too?
“Woke” is anything they don’t like, including characters they can’t immediately sexualize.
My guess would be that Ciri looks older now, she was 21 in Witcher 3, and there are a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio types out there who get offended by any suggestion they should be attracted to women their own age. And as you point out, assume that any women in media are there for them to sexualize.
I’m sorry, did they expect a chainmail bikini in Witcher?
Reminds me of the hate Aloy’s character design gets by certain gamers.
Child Aloy haunts my nightmares.
Hey now, they haven’t seen the sun in two years and like worms only crawl out of the earth when it rains so of course they don’t know what real people look like. And c’mon, if you didn’t respect women for anything more than their appearance then you’d also have ridiculously high standards and nothing more to offer them but insults when those standards weren’t met! /s
These people suck and so do their opinions. There’s always going to be something wrong because if there isn’t then they feel like “normies” and among that group they’re bottom of the barrel. They could do something about it but that takes work(and probably therapy). There’s no point in trying to appease them because they’ll never be happy, they refuse to be.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a sec. You’re telling me that women can look different as time goes on? Like… ageing?
I’m MORTIFIED.
@[email protected] nope, they want their female characters to look like starved prostitutes, plastered with makeup…
else, it’s woke!
But that photo looks like a starved prostitute plastered with makeup!
The woke / non woke neckbeard standard:
Hot actress:
Ugly actress:
@Blue_Morpho I know!! some people are just really fucked up lol
@Blue_Morpho @bazkie Ok. I’ve looked at both pics and I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a joke or I’m missing something.

The difference is the cut out in front. By the time WandaVision came out, Elisabeth Olsen had enough clout to not have to always wear a costume that had a tit window.

He said it in his own post, he definitely is a sad dude…
The trailer does give uncanny valley vibes. I chalk this up to toxic gamers saying anything they don’t like is woke. It’s like they can’t even articulate what they’re upset about.
It took me a second to adjust. I recon it’s just the change of engine and I have no recollection of the camera being that in her face for 3
I’m kinda stoked for this given the way 3 ended
I haven’t played 3. I got the trilogy and tried to start with 1 but it’s pretty dated lol. I should just play 3.
2 is much less dated, but you can just go to 3.

The only witcher content I’ve consumed is witcher 3 and it was great. Didn’t have any context going in and enjoyed it.
There is a very loose through thread between the game but the 1st in particular is very dated both for mechanics. You can play just 3 very happily
Me specifically. (Trying to be vague ans as spoiler free as possible below but just incase it’s not here be yer warning)
You don’t meet yen until game three and I had read a couple of the books by this point so for me personally my Gerald had built a rich relationship with triss in 1 and 2 but the cannon relationship is yen so it made for some really tough choices on that side of the game.
we all ended up just good friends which also felt right in reflection.
Wait… Which way did it end for you? Because there’s several ways.
There are I’m being vague on purpose so as to not spoil
Ah okay
Remember the name, once the game comes out and of its a total hit. He and all the others who follow will change their tune, as they always do.
@[email protected] They’ll “realize” the game is actually “anti-woke”!
The complainers are stuck on the r34 version of Ciri, which is why they’re upset the sequel doesn’t match their wank material.
Edit: It was the same for Horizon. In the first game, you could glitch photo mode to clip through clothes and see fully modelled breasts. Then the sequel popped up and their wank imagery was ruined.
@[email protected] she looks cool and pretty badass
Well as director Joel Schumacher once said: people like to see beautiful people. That’s why (lead) actors are usually very beautiful, regardless of gender. I mean sure, sometimes you just need Danny DeVito but you get the point
Although personally I don’t see what’s the problem with the screenshot, just replying to what OP said
Disclaimer: I haven’t heard him saying it myself, Mike from channel RedLetterMedia mentioned he saw an interview with him on this topic. But regardless, it made sense to me
sometimes you just need Danny DeVito
Too true. Sometimes you need beautiful people, but sometimes you need perfection.
Somebody wake up their GIMP, we’re gonna need to see what a perfect Ciri looks like.
@[email protected] how does one define “beautiful”? By who’s standard? Yours? Mine? It’s subjective and also cultural. Then there’s realness which an abundance of shows & movies also follow, casting the correct person for the mood & vibes.
In other words… I call bullshit on Schumacher.
Beauty is subjective but I’m willing to bet I has distribution or atleast some agreement. There are definitely people who other people tend to find more attractive than others.
@[email protected] by who’s ideals?
White westeners?
East Asians?
Southeast Asians?The moment you try to define beauty, you just end up a ignorant xenophobe.
Why is it bad to let characters age and look mildly real to the hard life that is these videogames?
I’m not arguing characters shouldnt look normal. I was arguing the idea that there isn’t some consistency to what people generally consider attractive. I’d say across all of humanity, including all races there’s probably some agreement among attractiveness. Even without trying to define what it is. I’d say if you had people rank a group there would be some people that came out above others. I don’t think people’s opinion on attractiveness is fully random.
Even across races. Ofc there would be variance between cultural groups but internally those groups probably have some consistency.
Ah yes the classic anti male gaze outrage.
Honestly I don’t like it when people look hyper realistic in my games. This isn’t a “vidja girls must look hot”, but more “oh god you spent 250K on skin textures”. This stuff puts me in the uncanny valley. I want my girls to look like my boys, cell shaded or pixels.
We peaked here:
This is also acceptable:
I held back my opinions about the Dreamcast so I wouldn’t rant about aesthetics.
Maybe I’m not the target demographic for that post, but I find that character beautiful.
@[email protected] I… I don’t get it. What’s wrong with how she looks?
They haven’t even seen any game yet man, damn chuds or whatever they called
@[email protected] DEI ugly stick? She’s pretty!
