It's long known and has become pattern recognition to the general audience. If a dev creates a good looking character, they'll design one that appeals to their prospective audience and that naturally leads to them thinking 'what else might appeal to them? What gameplay do they like? Story etc.
Making ugly characters as a statement means you are already antagonistic to your audience so will not bother making a fun game or story for them. And now it's sunk in enough that they spot ugly, they don't buy.
Now more important question, have we got a big leg and thigh fetish with these hot characters? There is boobs and butt there does seem to be a focus on sculpted legs?
This is what I came here to say. The ugly "women" are a symptom of a larger problem. Either the devs don't care enough to make a good game or the devs aren't trying to make a good game, they are making propaganda instead.
You're partially right but still missing a key element.
The detachment from reality matters here.
It is easier to imagine a white guy being able to fly and bulletproof and strong enough to stop a moving train than it is to imagine a black lesbian woman being a physically normal human and having heroic and selfless traits. It is just too far removed from what life tells us to even be acceptable to the brain in fantasy worlds.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a really funny choice for this meme, given it's full of ugly darkoids, one of which is the actual main female character you interact with, was criticized for simplifying MH gameplay for a modern audience, and to this day remains shamefully unoptimized on PC.
at that point you're asking devs to stop making games and start making porn if they want your money, and it's apparently even okay if there's only one or two decent-looking chicks in a sea of fugloids.
Its sales numbers also fell off a fucking cliff after launch.
I’ve seen a lot of articles about how Monster Hunter Rise has been selling better and inevitably the author dives into cope about it being due to Rise going on sale for $10.
If Wilds was good people would be paying so they can play with their friends who play it. But it’s not, so they won’t.
In large part because its a buggy unoptimized shitshow
thats the same for Final Fantasy 7 remakes... you got a handful of pretty main and secondary characters. but in a sea of ugly mongoloids lol.
It's amazing you call out so many darker skin characters in the game, yet it's the colonial white characters that arrive and give the effort to save the world. The rest just sit there thinking they're in "harmony" when in fact there is something wrong that the colonial foreigners come in to fix.
I'll be honest though, then characters in Wilds don't bother me. They're fun and silly and no one is really being punched down.
Ugly women characters only appeal to woke feminist young girls and middle aged women. Normal young girls aren't threatened by hot chicks. Old ladies don't compete anymore, so they don't care. Middle aged women are extremely threatened and get raged out about hot chicks.
The question is, do woke feminist young girls, and middle aged women, make up a significant share of the market? Significant enough to cut out a ton of the male market? The memes leads me to think the answer is "no."
Because they’re fresh off of hitting the wall and discovering they can no longer get a pussy pass for their every shitty character flaw and childish tantrum. They should honestly be ridiculed and bullied completely out of anything to do with gaming. Go read eat pray queef and fuck off
Because the answer really is “No.”
When you include mobile games and farmville, they're the majority.
Yeah but Ubisoft, EA, Remedy, Naughty Dog, Rockstar etc aren’t supposed to be selling mobile games or FarmVille, are they? There’s a difference between candy crush and Grand theft auto, just like there’s a difference between the devil wears Prada and Rambo 3.
Board execs used to understand this, and compartmentalised their products and marketed them to different audiences (and made literally billions). Now it all just has to be woke feminism, race mixing and homosexuality no matter the medium, no matter the plot, no matter the audience.
2025+ The year where people discovered that:
Most men are heterosexual
sex sells
I'm more annoyed about how dumb clown world is than clown world itself
And you didn't even mention Expedition 33.
I'm really looking forward to Tides of Annihilation ...
"Fixed?"
What was the original?
They called the top one "for gooners", it became just a word for straight men who are not castrated and like looking at attractive women.
The woke mutants have a billion dollar + capitalization in their game development.
Let them print their worthless fiat. The crash will be spectacular!
Gamers are coomers confirmed
Ok cuck
