TopicCulture War Is Brewing Due to How Women Are Currently Portrayed in Games

It's fuckin' stupid.

Totally normal gamers have convinced themselves that Western games no longer have attractive women (false) and that there's an active campaign to make all women in games ugly (also false) when in reality all that's actually happened is suggestions that maaaybe, just maybe, we should see a variety of portrayals in women in videogames. That's it. The mere suggestion that not all women in games need to be 10/10 stacked dime pieces will cause those folks to lose their minds.

Look at Stellar Blade. Outside of that IGN editor's goofy ass remarks, criticism of the lead's design has been mild at worst, but they'd have you believe there's an active campaign against the game, despite it getting 7s and 8s across the board from the same reviewers these guys are mad at. And those 7s and 8s aren't even good enough and I've seen multiple reviewers attacked for not scoring it high enough.

And anytime they try to bring up an example of their "Western game baaaad" bullshit, it's always the worst screengrab possible and it's also always the same like, 5 screengrabs.
