It just doesn't make sense for people to be so triggered by a game like Stellar Blade.

I'm confused. I don't remember this kind of uproar for Bayonetta, (or did I just miss it)?
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

Probably not, but unreasonable body proportions are still bad.
When do we know how long we can break it? Where do we go to have some?

Remember when women killed themselves after looking at Shadowheart?

Its a stylistic choice in a piece of fictional media. You have to be a damn moron to believe women should look like that IRL. Oh wait...some do and thats why theyre bitter virgins.

Probably need to address it on social media first. That place is a hellscape for making women feel bad about their bodies. At least video games dont pretend to be actual real life.

also lol at imagining that somehow a few sexy video game characters are someone going to matter when everything else in the world is equally, if not more obsessed w/ physical appearance.

Damn the female suicide rate mustve been wild when the original Tomb Raider was released.
This game's controversy is starting to enter HL level of stupidity at this point. I just want this game to release already so it can be forgotten already.
DI MOLTO!

So was Ganondorf.

That said, it's always weird seeing just how many people on CE give a crap about IGN.

Yeah, but most women don't look like that. Hence unreasonable, and not unrealistic.

That's...not really what he said.

I think it's way past time you put your phone down. You're clearly way too addicted to potential internet outrage.
...I think I'm done here...
Any man that would insist that real women need to have bodies like the MC of Stellar Blade are not actually interacting with any women (or probably people in general really) anyway. Women arent going to catch any grief from them unless theyre habitual 4chan users.
He's definitely stupidly conflating things to justify his dumb stance from the initial review. Dude can't just let it go that he went too hard on his shit take. This is definitely a both sides are dumb situation.
this reads like the guy is terminally online and the only interactions he has with other males are the incels who cry about all women in video games not being sex dolls and that it is the fault of "wokeness". they all need to get outside and touch grass.

This guy is fighting for the women ladies.

I mean, they might have a point, I'm a guy and even I feel insecure my ass will never look like that.

Half-Life 3s silent cancellation never had this kinda reaction from the fans.

Men with exaggerated proportions (like cartoonish muscles) also look bad.

Boy the discourse surrounding this fucking game is really something else

A better way to put it is that is that incels don't actually understand what women like at all: https://datepsychology.com/women-dont-find-gigachad-attractive/

Studies keep showing that the "extremely muscular" trope isn't actually for "female eye candy" purposes, it's for guys who think that that's what women think is sexy/how they want to view themselves. Incels have just deluded themselves into thinking that women are ever given the perspective in any meaningful sense, as opposed to the reality that it's really all just "what do men think is hot."

Yeah, they don't seem to realize that a lot of straight women prefer men who are more handsome than muscular.

They certainly do things a lot more differently than GameFAQs moderators. I think they leave those posts up as a warning of what NOT to post there.
