Does it really increase sales among female gamers?

Marvel did the whole pixie cuts and grrl power promotion and it didn't increase their readership any. I remember one comic author for the company being disheartened when she discovered that, upon questioning, most of the people reposting empowering comic panels admitted to not personally reading comics.

If the women of tumblr and Reddit are the most likely to buy video games, then go ahead and include them in the video games. But if they're not the women most likely to buy video games, why punish the rest of us with eyesore haircuts? I'd much rather have a tomboy, a Goth, a geek (I mean that term affectionately), a muscle queen, or a gamer gurl than somebody with an eyesore haircut as a playable character.

That, or at least be consistent. For every woman with a tumblr cut, have one dude with a mullet. Let's be consistent in our freedom of expression. If I can rock my "business in the front, party in the back" look, then you can have your "freedom on the side, no maintenance in the back" look.

:v

It's for the same reason there's so many male protagonists with buzz cuts or other hair types that don't need to be animated (or animated much).

actually the reason there are so many female characters with short hair in modern games is because most devs lack the skill to animate and articulate long hair well in modern game development engines, and short hair just presents a lot less problems in that regard. example: Bioware with Dragon Age Inquisition moving the franchise from an inhouse engine to EA's Frostbite.

Yeab, a lot of it has to do with basic hair physics.

But as a guy who actually loves pixie cuts, I cant complain. :3

It's the same reason the main character in Kiki's delivery service has shorter hair than in the story the movie is based on; the animators knew it'd be too time-intensive to draw her with long hair.

Short-ish hair is apparently SJW pandering and a war against attractive women. Who knows what goes on in the mind of sexist anti-SJWs?

take it from somebody who used to animate -- hair is a right pain in the rear -- short hair is easier

i personally love long hair ... its just so hard to get right (it tends to clip badly with itself and other objects on the character)

Pixie cuts are hideous. I can tolerate short hair though as long as it's at least shoulder length

but yeah the real reason short hair is so common is games is because it's hard to animate realistically. You have to go to JRPGs and stuff to find women with long hair
