It's like a Lovecraftian fish person...

Maybe it’s unfair but I blame Sarkesian for all of this. Along with gaming companies refusing to accept that men and women tend to like different games generally speaking. I remember there was an assassins creed game where you could choose to play as the man or the woman (of course all the trailers had the woman I think) and the head of the company or head developer expressed disappointment that most players chose the man to play with. Same game where they changed it because the female character got pregnant and it angered the lgbt activists.
I’d say the uglification of women is a symptom of this
I would not only blame her. She was just the priestess announcing the coming of the new intersectional and godless religion.
It’s a mistake to separate leftist activists from their embedded counterparts in institutions and corporations. All of these people are revolutionaries first and foremost. Their actual jobs and duties are secondary and, in fact, serve primarily as assets for propagation of leftism. The leftist bank CEO endeavors first to debank their cultural and political enemies. Running the bank is job number two.
Precisely this. Group actions equals group guilt.
You are based.
So from unity on they always had the option to play either male or female. Then Odyssey they decided that the sister was the canonical character and got annoyed when everyone played the brother.
Then in Valhalla they made the default you switched between man and woman because in-game they weren't sure if the character was a man or woman, so it switched at different times figuring most people aren't going to select the option of always male or female and instead keep it to the default.
Jesus... at what point is it undeniably an unhealthy obsession? If people don't want it, you don't goddamn force it on them.
They can see it, but they don't want to be ostracised by the big mega-corps who need them to keep consuming.
Just like a bunch of the idiots who got the jab because every media outlet and celebrity from around the world told people to "get it or else...", and plenty of stupid people decided to get it, because they didn't want to be ostracised.
The amount of normies who accept the globohomo crap is truly black-pill worthy whenever you step into their spaces and get an idea of how they think. Maybe it's just social media culling all of the based and red-pilled blokes, but it looks kind of bleak.
The number of retards that got the jab to fit in is a massive black pill, just on its own. Anyone chickenshit enough to take that to fit in, not wear a mask or even just to keep their jobs, deserves everything that happens to them. Don't try to tell me to act sympathetic to the ones who did it to "keep their jobs" either. They're not only part of why this shit went as far as it did, but they apparently didn't think about how dying is worse than getting fired. Good luck keeping that job postmortem, you worthless fucking sheep.
Forcing things on others is the fundamental aspect of perversion.
When you are in power I preach consent because it is in accordance with your principles. When I have power over you....
I believe with Valhalla, the vast majority of people again preferred to play as the (historically accurate) male character. Most cite the better voice acting as a reason, but I think it’s just an excuse. Nobody wants to be some Viking chick, getting boned all across England (nobody normal anyway).
Now apparently for their next upcoming game still in the pipeline, there isn’t going to be ANY choice offered. Main protag will be female and that’s that. I’ve already read so many nauseating comments like, “finally a female lead”, it reminded me a lot of the “finally a black superhero” bullshit when Black Panther came out 🤦🏼
I bring it up because apparently the new Assassins game will also feature a black African samurai supporting character who we’re supposed to believe is based on a real historical dude who totally existed (we promise).
Like synthetic man says, “I’m not even angry anymore, I just don’t care...” 😒👍
The funny thing is you can do a female samurai if you write it right. Blue Eye Samurai was great. But you know they're not going to go this route.
They're going to go the "well in this world no one bats an eye to woman samurai and there is zero prejudice."
Thanks. I couldn’t remember the exact ones
The reason why Sarkeesian wasn't because she was particularly persuasive, eloquent, or well-reasoned. It was because by the time she started her grift, game development corporations were already critically compromised by Leftist ideologues.
Part of that is because Left-libertarianism was historically popular among tech bros. Part of that is because it's illegal for corporations beyond a certain size to not have Leftist bias in their hiring (HR + Mandatory anti-White, anti-Male discrimination in law).
These people agreed with her all along, Sarkeesian and other brain-dead Leftist activists just provide the surface-level rationale
The characters in Left 4 Dead (both games) look more like the people they're modeled after than... whatever that fish thing is in the OP.
When were those released?
That explains the Uncanny-Valley effect I'm seeing a lot of recently. Thanks.
It’s both. You can tell by the non-female models present in the game. If everyone is a freak, you’re looking at the product of diversity hires. If only the women are ugly, you’re looking at the product of ideologically possessed devs.
Why not both! LOL.
That's the crazy part about the game though. She actually looks like that irl. That is an accurate representation of the sheboon who voices the character.
I also wonder if maybe part of it's a deliberate decision in the same vein as planned obsolescence. Where they just put out crap for a while all so they can make themselves look spectacular when they actually do finally put in some effort every once in a while.
Probably not the case though, since it seems like they're solely intent on lowering audience's expected quality without ever bothering to offer something of even remote value.
The more likely explanation is DEI. Whether by coercion or conscious decision, developers are hiring a significant portion of their staff using identity as the dominant criteria. You don’t have to be a race realist to recognize that the pool of talented female and/or non-white devs is very comparatively small. Very quickly, you’re faced with a “pick two” triangle dilemma:
cheap and competent: 100 white male devs
cheap and diverse: 50 white male devs and 50 diversity hires
competent and diverse: 100 white male devs and 100 diversity hires
The first option is on the verge of becoming straight-up illegal. Only smaller indie studios can really swing it, and any amount of success will summon the diversity kraken.
The second option is what most studios are choosing, and their output is suffering noticeably as a result. The extremely wealthy studios can opt for the third option, but both options two and three have created a “brain drain” within gaming dev.
Even as they are systematically discriminated against in both hiring and promotion, white male devs are still doing most of the heavy lifting on game dev projects. They are expected to deliver productivity on par with teams that are effectively twice as big. At the same time, indie development offers the possibility of real riches if you can hit it big, so more and more of the competent devs are taking their shot. This leaves even fewer good devs to prop up the bloated diversity teams.
I've probably said it before, but someone needs to open a western studio that operates out of Japan, the UAE, or some other country that doesn't have diversity laws, and poach a bunch of the top talent with them.
It's an easy pitch: come make great games and good money for a season of your life.
You know why they are so bad at making anything now? Their ideology guides them to refuse many qualified candidates, and also punishes those who are talented in the companies by having them pull the dead weight of the diversity hires.
Yeah, that definitely gives me a reason to not get Fallen Order, no matter how cheap it gets.
I got 1 for free and ol' bug-eye makes it a real chore to play so I haven't done it very much.
I for one praise our Chinese overlord game developers.
Gonna shill a little bit: RenderMax on Youtube previews a LOT of Asian games with cheesecake protagonists.
What the heck does this me-
Oh. Oh yes. Subscribed.
Didn't genshin censor shit too when it got too hot? I seem to have something like that in the back of my mind. Nowhere near in the level that is being done today in the west but it is a slippery slope.
I cannot even tell what game this is from and I at least saw a lot of the newer ones. Wtf is this? This looks like what aliens would think a human might look like by only looking at the ones who got the ugly stick stuck in their rectum. The fact I cannot tell what game exactly this is from is not even scaring me any more... Its all of them who look like this now, at least in the west AAA's look like SHIT.
The progressive gaming industry basically 'adopted' her as a team mascot to represent their left-liberal progressive values of 'diversity, inclusion and equity'. She's black, she's female, she's conventionally unattractive as a female, she's most likely lesbian (not going to look that one up).
She's a DIE mascot. She's supposedly proof that the gaming industry has 'matured'.
isn't it funny. One of the better games in this year has no HUMAN FACES at all. And still managed to make a whole lot of memorable characters.
Which one is that?
Ac6
Because she is overused to a point where that alone should be reason to mock the industry. The same way Troy Baker and Nolan North were shot at constantly 10 years ago for the same fucking thing.
Except in those cases, it was only VA. In this case, its her entire character model perfectly recreated across numerous games to a point where its jarring to see her constantly.
There is two reasons right there before you even get into "woke" and "racism" reasons.
Because she has a face for radio and the gay commies are inflicting it on us as a humiliation ritual.
Proper send off = dominating Vader one-on-one like a typical modern day Disney Star Wars girl boss before narrowly losing. Fuck off, retard lol
This is her best bit of acting ever. Because we get to see Will Sasso shoot her.
