I don't really pay attention to AAA games but I can't help but notice the number of intentionally ugly women - black women in particular - that are being used in marketing these days.
What is that expression supposed to convey?
Who is this supposed to appeal to?
It's the leftist 'smugly' face. It's everywhere in marketing now. Especially in comic books. I don't know the purpose behind it, but it's everywhere. There's a meme genre about it.
I think female writers think it's strength/empowerment. Because dudes learned long ago this face gets you punched, but .. well equal rights and all that haven't really kicked in yet.
Look up the TMNT 'Arpil O'niel' typo comic book cover. Yah they actually printed it "Arpil'. That's how competent Heather Antos is as an editor. One of the original Smuglies. You'll see the expression on 'Arpil' and recognize it's on so much other shit right now.
I looked it up, holy cow the art is terrible. Like the last page of clip art from a 1990's bargain bin CD that no one ever bothers to scroll to. No wonder these people are afraid of AI. https://i.imgur.com/epNsHkX.png
Yeah that cover would most definitely outsell the Arpil cover. Even with the AI gibberish text.
