CONTEXT for those who don't know.
Pokémon GO! just updated their mobile platform outside of Japan and all the players have had their online avatars, which they had previously customised, "Updated" to be more realistic.
This means the many girls who play (A sizeable amount) have now been made to look more manly in frame and not as conventionally pretty as intended and the boy players have been androgenised into effeminate Twinks.
This wasn't an opt-in change and didn't get implemented in Japan, who are now having a good chuckle at other players around the world for their grotesque representation in game.
It appears the ESG filter is mandatory and robs living individuals of their online autonomy and creativity in how they wish to be perceived in that space.
I would suggest that it needs to be changed as it disregards the right to freedom of expression as defined by the 1947 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
That or they roll it out in Japan too and call it a global update.
I was not aware the graphical update was not globally applied. That should really make one wonder why certain regions got the uglification update and others didn't. Hopefully some normies wake up from it.
The thinking is that the Japanese market would reject it and go to a different game/franchise altogether having been offended.
I can't say for sure but I can tell you that it wasn't rolled out in Japan (Yet, or probably ever - unless it's a consent opt-in thing).
Because that would piss off the Japanese players which would then get more easily brought to the attention of the higher-ups in Nintendo of Japan, which I'm guessing the people who made this change want to avoid.
Pretty brazen to just go and remove all plausible deniability from the normies who play PG. The deliberate uglification of vidya characters I'm sure sounds just plain bizarre to anyone who hasn't been paying attention, but then these "people" just had to go and shove it in the face of normies everywhere.
I've seen some incredibly smug, shit-eating comments in woke groups about how the majority are ackshually on their side and...yeah maybe it's fine to let them indulge that delusion because it makes them tell on themselves.
I don't know the character (I'm guessing from Pokemon), but they can't even make the fat ugly one have the same feeling. One looks like a happy little girl, the other is like an angsty tranny. Can't even smile, really?
It's a reflection of how the people who push this really feel
Apparently.. pokemon go's community manager is a pudgy ftm tranny. Its always the community managers.
Got a source? Really curious now.
Says "Forbidden Resource" now, at least for me... :-(
Maybe it was removed? Or is it just geoblocked where I am or something..?
The link works for me, reading some of the responses, most of the females that play pokemon go are the ones most vocal about the update, they don't like that their characters are ugly looking now and also outfits they purchased were removed (basically scammed).
Was hoping to get an idea what they looked like, but of course they are hiding behind a cartoon avatar that represents what they THINK they look like.
I think I found it.
It's a still image from a tiktok they did that is now private found from google image.
So the ESG ray fires undiluted delusions of grandeur and comes with a "complimentary" all-you-can-eat buffet pass to Golden Corral?
I get it's a joke, but I assume the right image means players can have their real
clownworld character wear Dawn/Hikari's outfit in Pokemon Go.Pokemon Go's charachter creation/avatar got hit with the ugly beam, from what I heard.
No one likes it, everyone hates it.
Think this was done by a Japanese artist to make fun of this but I could be wrong. Japanese in general are clowning on this it seems and rightfully so.
You can get several of the trainer outfits in the game. Some are free, but others cost premium currency. Dawn's outfit (pictured) is one of the free ones.
Only the brave dare ask what the aura around the Piplup (the penguin) is.
A pronoun cloud to gas the chuds.
shadow pokemon. 20% increase in atk 20% decrease to def.
She's not black and doesn't appear to have a penis. They must have only landed a grazing shot.
Well…
Trannies will look at this and think they're the same.
Wow... you, eh, REALLY grew up.
and sideways.
Except for the tits, which are, umm, even smaller, proportional to the rest of the body, lol...
Cheetos Bag uses CARBS! It's super effective!
Trainer used Earthquake!
Aww hell naw, they hit her with the diabetus ray
