I guess we just disagree, I thought she was very pretty myself. And sure, for Casandra, I get many don't like short hair on a woman but it suited her and helped work with her adorable personality tbh.
That's not at all what I said though. None of them were feminine. I loved Cassandra's design, but she was hardly feminine.

Sera was a rough housing tomboy

Cassandra is a battle hardened warrior

Josephine was tacky.

Could you romance Vivienne? She was bald.

No, all you said was Josephine was an "uggo" and Casandra had short hair. So that's what I went on and not on if any of them were feminine or not - not that looking feminine means attractive.

Again, I disagree on Josephine, and disagree she wasn't feminine. She was exceedingly so imo, but I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that. The rest weren't feminine, no, but I wasn't aware you and I were discussing that as feminine doesn't mean attractive.

You couldn't romance Viv, no. But being bald doesn't mean not feminine as well. She's another reasonably attractive one as well, setting aside her personality which will put most off her. Still one of my fav NPC's though.

Lara got a reduction.
Samus got a reduction.
Tifa got a reduction.

There is a pattern here.

You can say I'm a loser, but you can't deny what is happening. It's not a conspiracy. It's not internet nerds preemptively being outraged. We said it would happen and it did. We knew it would because it's happened already. Because it's a clear and continuous pattern.

I don't care. I'm a fucking nerd. Whatever.

No, I don't need big breasts on a female character to find her interesting as a character. You don't need profanity and gratuitous bloodshed to have a good time at the movies. But if there's a PG-13 sequel or remake to an R-rated movie, people flip a table because they're being denied something they used to have. It's the same thing here.

If you go to favorite place to eat and find one day that they've stopped serving alcohol, you'd be within your rights to go someplace else even if the food is just as good as it always was.

Even if you don't care about fictional breasts (or real breasts on women playing fictional characters). Even if you're not into women period, it's still a bad thing to remove all buxom women from the media. You are saying that there is a certain type of person who you do not want to be featured in the media and it's through no fault of their own. This is like taking every story which had a Jewish character in it and replacing them with non-Jewish characters. You would be selectively removing a group of people from having any media presence or representation.

It's not just censorship. It's discrimination. How are women with large breasts supposed to feel in real life when they're not good enough to make it into movies? What does it say to them that body types and personality types are treated one and the same and that busty types are the "bimbo" types that we don't want? I suppose they can go out and get reductions if they want to be treated fairly.

Cover Tifa up more. Take away her midriff. Make it so that there's no bounce or jiggle -- just fat dead space. But don't flatten her because women with sizable breasts are somehow bad people according to the censors who think themselves progressive.

It's like there's an Anti-Tit League that gets to dictate who has an appropriate enough body type to achieve representation. And, according to them, women with small wastes and large busts are unworthy.

Fuck!

In what universe is Josie not feminine? She was basically a moe anime girl.
Viv was also very feminine
and Cassandra had both masculine and feminine traits. There was a whole subplot about her loving romance novels, for Christ's sake.

A bunch of feminine black women have very close-cropped hair, even shaved heads. I know a few myself. White standards of beauty aren't the only ones. And disregarding the hair, she's a feminine noblewoman in every way.

Josephine was very feminine. Her whole romance arc is practically a fairy tale. Vivienne was feminine too in that aristocratic noblewoman way.

If you think they're ugly, well, you can say so, but don't lie about their femininity.

As someone who has had sex, I dont see how I am better than anyone who hasnt had it. I say they are lucky, no worries about getting someone pregnant, stds, break ups, jealousy, cheating, etc.
Theres alot that comes along with sex, sure pleasure is good but lets be honest, people dont become a better person just becsuse they got laid

It does seem like AAA developers have been trying to make women ugly for a while now or more Man-like.

I remember booting up an old game Enslaved Odyssey to the West, and thinking wow the main girl is stunning in every way, body and face.

But it was like a uncharted game so I wasn't interested

You genuinely think there's a worldwide secret conspiracy to make women ugly so you'll have less boners? That's a more likely explanation?
