Current Events > So how exactly is the new Star wars girl "ugly"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Where is her giant oiled ass.

Where is her giant textureless oiled ass.

Wasn't her style popular in 1980 something? Like I get why people might not like MJ in Spiderman 2, but that one is actually pretty

What is this even from? I thought star wars was done

is this from the Outlaws game? cuz i've not really seen much, if any discussion of the characters in that game - just the awful Ubisoft moneygrubbing.

AFAIK there is some cherry picked image going around.

It's this. They took one terribly timed screenshot as proof that she's "ugly" and haven't shut up about it. They did the same thing with other games. Took one screenshot that made the character look bad and ran with it. But she looks fine.

There was even a topic here about it, but that TC started the topic and just never returned lol.

The "proof" they're using, for reference.

I've entered a great depression after just now learning this was going to be an open world Ubisoft game instead of the tight linear adventure that had formed in my mind.

If they want an average-looking character, they should hire an average-looking model, not virtue signal over how they made an attractive woman less attractive.

First, why does the character model have to resemble the voice actress?

The model isn't usually the actress

Second, where have they "virtue signaled" anything? You're being weird again

Probably just racism. Racists will go to any length to blame anything but their racism for not liking something.

I thought she was the voice actress, not the character model.

She's the voice actor? I thought she was the character model. It looked like they took the same features and uglied them up a bit.

It's actively downplaying looks.

If they hired someone average to be the model for an average-looking character, that's passive. They hired someone for a role and that's the end of it. But if they hire an attractive person, and they make her average-looking, they're actively striping away that beauty to show that they only care about the person underneath.

It's like ordering at Starbucks. You could order the Caramel Macchiato with soy milk or you could order "a vegan Caramel Macchiato" so that everyone within earshot knows you're vegan.

It's weird that they made a point to capture the same eyebrows, cheekbones, chin, and lips if she's not the model.

The character doesn't have to be attractive just because the actor is, but they made a point to make the character a less-attractive version of her VA.

You're gonna have to prove that they're "making a point" and deliberately doing this and that it's not just an uncanny valley thing, because that's what it actually is and not whatever wacky made up bullshit your horny gamer brain is thinking.

It's also one off model screenshot that y'all are getting up in arms over whereas she looks fine in most shots. Same story as every other time you totally normal gamers lose your minds over stuff like this.

okay, say they did. and? you're playing the game not fucking it.

I post Aloy screenshots that look so much prettier than the meme ones every time she is discussed and I get crickets.
