When the story allows, do you show male characters who display a full range of emotions, including joy, sadness, and vulnerability?

Gamers have been more vigilant in recent weeks following an attempted harassment campaign initiated by an employee of Sweet Baby Inc against a Steam curator and his personal account.
Imagine being a real life woman and being told that you aren't a realistic woman by these gaming companies.
Not like some women dont naturally have proportions these people would call exaggerated. As long as not literally every woman in a game is like that I don't see a problem.To these people against this one woman being sexual is too much.
????A company that advises devs on how to not offend players, had a list made of all the games they worked on. So that people who wished to avoid those games would know how to. The company got mad and tried to get the list maker's steam account banned
To these people against this one woman being sexual is too much.
There's lots of women like that in real life, that aren't even showing it off, the office lady in a sweater, the modestly dressed woman at the grocery store, etc. Some women just have calcium cannons you can't hide even when you dress modestly.
Even athletic women have that GYATT

They'll get no credit for this, because everyone will be focused on 'as a 45 year old man, I can't cope without enormous tits in my videogames'.
But in the light of the male suicide thread, I thought it was worth highlighting.

Are your female characters equipped with clothing and armor that fits their tasks ?
Microsoft urges developers not to create female characters with exaggerated body proportions on their official site to support game devs.
The site, titled Product Inclusion Action: Help Customers Feel Seen includes a bullet list of considerations they urge developers to make when working on their product. One Twitter user pointed out the language expressly condemning certain female characters as reinforcing negative gender stereotypes.
<u>Are you reinforcing any negative gender stereotypes?</u>
* Are you unnecessarily introducing gender & gender barriers into your code or design?
* Are you creating playable female characters that are equal in skill and ability to their male peers.
* Are your female characters equipped with clothing and armor that fits their tasks?
* Do they have exaggerated body proportions?
* When the story allows, do you show male characters who display a full range of emotions, including joy, sadness, and vulnerability?
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 games heroine being based off of a real life model.
Between Microsofts developer site and Stellar Blade it seems theres been a reversal of roles. In recent years Sony has been criticized for its censorship policies after relocating its gaming business units to California.
Gamers have been more vigilant in recent weeks following an attempted harassment campaign initiated by an employee of Sweet Baby Inc against a Steam curator and his personal account. The controversy has spilled over from the employees actions to a wider conversation about narrative consultation in video games.

Why not let both exist within the same media and the consumer pick what they want?Not sure how this relates to what I was doing, which was to draw attention to the guidance on the portrayal of male characters.
Critics of Sweet Baby believe that their mission of promoting inclusivity is done at the expense of a games narrative quality.
"critics" are just a bunch of incels who are whining and not understanding what that company actually does.We seen what they've done and it's not good. Simple as.

The best thing about this Sweet Baby controversy is how it utterly exposed all sorts of journalists as dishonest gaslighters and grifters and exposed even worse companies in the same vein. It's refreshing to see people aren't falling for the "le evil gamergaters" bullshit this time around.
Humanity, specifically Western and especially American humans are sex negative and prudish by their very nature. So this isn't a surprise. I remember a survey done where many parents admitted they'd rather have their kids become serial killers than learn about sex at a young age from school if that tells you anything.

Its a video game why would they have to have realistic proportions?That part.
Stop assuming that all people in the west are Republicans
Even the deepest blue Democratic states aren't especially accommodating to sex work.There's a big difference between this and saying you'd rather your children be serial killers instead of learning about sex early
