It only sterilizes one way, of course. Plenty of nearly (or fully) naked buff men in media for the harpies to drool over when they aren't jealously whining about hot women in video games.
Recently, western game developers have been making a point to rally against “objectification” in games and are citing unrealistic beauty standards set by fictional characters. Most recently, Stellar Blade has been the subject of such criticism despite the game’s heroine being based off of a real life model.
Just so we're clear on they're position, these untalented fucks are complaining "you can't make your female character too pretty, it ostracises women!"
Meanwhile the women that actually PLAY the game like the fact that they play a hot woman kicking ass in a game. And in a third person game, men really appreciate having a nice booty to look at.
Western studios have given up on beauty, it started with ESG pandering but now it's ingrained into their very corporate culture and they have no way to regain that knowledge so lash out at those in the East that still know now to portray beauty.
I was in a meeting today where about 5 male devs went off about how they hate toxic, masculine games and how they want to devote the company to making queer dating sims that feature more examples of drag to "help normalise it".
Removing HR won't fix these kinds of guys, they're totally reprogrammed.
Sucks to know they're going to keep tanking the company and that I'll eventually lose my job but the company deserves it.

Fucking hell that's bad! Dude I'd see if you can join Arrowhead or some other Indie studio as an escape plan as it sounds like you're current company is on borrowed time.
Of course they're going to say that you gullible fool.
It's called putting up an act.
That's how they keep their job.
Same way how Everyone in PRL said socialism was good until they didn't had to in 1989.
I now identify as a curvy beautiful woman (who shaves zer beard in Planet Fitness and gets actual women banned from that gym). Not having attractive, curvy women in video games is denying me representation.
That is precisely the kind of female character you would want if your studio was kept in business by selling the customer what they want and not ESG money, butt pats from other studios and devs on the DEI dole, and positive social media interaction.
what if you held a stranglehold on all video game design and writing? what if you wanted to nudge culture towards submission to women, to what women want, and to enforce the idea that men sacrificing their life, their needs for women is a man's highest calling?
Vanillaware, the current reigning champion of "curvy female characters" and amazing 2D art in general, has a surprising amount of women artists on their staff. You don't see anyone bitching about a woman sharing a lead artist's credit on Unicorn Overlord, for example. I'm not convinced that women gamers who genuinely love the hobby and aren't just grifting for the ESG money want these ugly characters, either.
Always fun reminder that one of the guys from Vanillaware responded to Kotaku's crying about their women back in Dragon's Crown by drawing a picture of three buff, naked dwarves and saying "provided something closer to your liking."
We can go further than no bitching about a woman sharing the lead artist credit. I also don’t see any bitching about the abundance of (admittedly very pretty) female characters in the game. Why? Because their personalities aren’t shit and they don’t detract from the main story. Even Virginia, who is canonically a raging bitch (according to the other characters) doesn’t really come off as abrasive. And nobody is pulling a “straight white men are the most evil thing in this world” routine.
Then they go out of their way to specifically state it's for the women.
Men can still walk around wearing nothing. I guess.
Again something something double standards.
Plus y'know, men can't seem to have things for themselves anymore. It has to be what women want, all the time ever.
Even though women don't play those games in large enough numbers to be of any significant impact.
I want to make romance novels worse. No more Fabio hair and toned bodies. Enjoy the sweat of his man boobs, while he furiously itches his unwashed neckbeard, ladies. The way he just can't take a flight of stairs without being winded. It's gonna be SO fucking great.
Most the time nothing about it is "unrealistic" either. Most video game characters still have less exaggerated features than your average pre-edit insta thot.
They're literally just railing against "beauty standards for women". Because like all other standards, your average woman wants to be exempt from that responsibility.

Well said and pretty much cuts the issue to the bone. Women despise prettier women in the vicinity of the men they want to either fuck or leech resources from (simps). Even fictional feminine women remind men what women used to bring to the table and we can't have that!
Like communists jealous of successful businesses in capitalist environmenta, they would rather ban the competition than self reflect and improve themselves today to compete better tomorrow. If you cant keep a guy interested in you compared to pixels on a screen, what does that say about you?
This week on "everything healthy and normal is bad" we discuss the problematic nature of big tiddies and hips and their tendency to reduce faggotism in children.
Media influences real-world behavior or it doesn't. It can't influence only certain behaviors but not others (depending on what your enemy is arguing for/ against in that instance).
Call it what it is: the sterilization of entertainment in order to meet the approval of unelected Marxist commissars.
It only sterilizes one way, of course. Plenty of nearly (or fully) naked buff men in media for the harpies to drool over when they aren't jealously whining about hot women in video games.
Bouncing tiddies on a screen: NOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT
Bouncing testicles in front of children in real life pride parades: This is healthy, you chuds.
I agree. Stop exaggerating how fucking ugly they are.
or how fat

Nah. Remove the HR harpies and all the male developers with healthy libido will churn out beauties again.
You can't return the libido to the castrated...
Unless they managed to be the unseen dev working in the background to make the game work, I doubt they'll be able to do it.
Put it this way, do you think the guy in charge of development at Naughty Dog would make beauties if we removed HR?
Neil Cuckman? Hell no. That's top kek.

I classify him as HR male harpy in higher position. Purge him as well and my answer is yes.

STOP BEING BIGOTED CHUDS, MICROSOFT!
Call me crazy but if you are making a game for a straight male market, wouldn’t that be precisely the kind of female character you would want?
That is precisely the kind of female character you would want if your studio was kept in business by selling the customer what they want and not ESG money, butt pats from other studios and devs on the DEI dole, and positive social media interaction.
They assume the straight male market is already owned by them, so they don't need to appeal. They just will buy whatever.
And they still haven’t learned their lesson
Women like playing as hot female characters too.
Exactly. Whenever they trot out yet another ugly female character a good amount of outrage comes from women
what if you held a stranglehold on all video game design and writing? what if you wanted to nudge culture towards submission to women, to what women want, and to enforce the idea that men sacrificing their life, their needs for women is a man's highest calling?
Stranglehold? raughs in Japanese

I see that budget cuts haven't been a problem over there.
Another fan of Fleekazoid I see. I get that reference.

The fragile little female snowflakes are psychologically incapable of dealing with curvaceous babes.
Don't forget the trannies who are triggered by seeing what they'll never look like.
The criteria for rejection is "would a heterosexual man enjoy it?"
May the Xbox die then. Sticking with Japanese and indie developers.
Except if we are talking about gay dudes fucking then it is all ok to sexualize
Busom Quest: The Search For Bouncy Betty
Ah reminds me of the Diablo 2 hack where the assassin chicks outfits were all painfully redone for maximum feminist seething.
“It makes me sad that this is real”, vol. 999,999,999.
This week on "everything healthy and normal is bad" we discuss the problematic nature of big tiddies and hips and their tendency to reduce faggotism in children.
That’s a terrible way to put it. It reinforces liberals’ belief in a “genocide” of queerness.
I couldn't give the slightest fuck about what they believe about anything at all.
Women and trannies.
what are you fucking gay?
Media influences real-world behavior or it doesn't. It can't influence only certain behaviors but not others (depending on what your enemy is arguing for/ against in that instance).
Extra Extra! Read all about it! Microsoft to only allow lolis on Xbox! MILFs purged with extreme prejudice! extra extra!
Good thing we have indie devs to make games that are actually fun and awesome
Beauty is an enemy of the ugly.
Next fighting game, nothing but fat ugly people like lizzo, use actual 3D modeling so you can use the starfield defense, call it Jelly Fly.
Someone should call them out for using the incel term "female"
Troons mad
