Just make them not deformed!

What always bugs me is the intentionality. You could make a deformed female character, if it fits the character, and isn't just a 'hahaha, expectations subverted chud' bit of woke nonsense. Make good characters, whatever they look like, instead of political and ideological cutouts that shit on the audience.

I don't even have anything against ugly game characters. I have something against the uglification of game characters though, big time.
