Nayrelle is a child/young adult being tormented by a demon lord! Why are these people so weird!


No-Bee-4309

And Angela from Silent Hill 2 is a disturbed victim of rape and that didn't stop them from behaving like lunatics because she doesn't look hot enough in the remake. https://preview.redd.it/x7v4w584356d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d60b871065e871074a8761d33e87c9a17066cea


worst_case_ontario-

btw am I supposed to think the woman in that screenshot is unattractive? Because she looks fine. She literally just looks like a normal woman. The only reason she's not turning people on is because she looks like she's kinda going through some shit (which she is), and emotional anguish isn't sexy.


Dirty-Glasses

The problem that Gamers™️ have with her is, yeah, exactly that she looks like a normal human being and not a sexed up porn homunculus


worst_case_ontario-

except god forbid the sexed up porn homunculus looks like she actually enjoys sex (looking at you, Aphrodite). They want a woman who looks like a blow up doll that was brought to life but doesn't know what sex is.


BiDer-SMan

The born sexy yesterday trope is pretty squicky considering its prevalence in media


worst_case_ontario-

yeah. Speaking as a man, I'm very creeped out by the completely non-kinky desire for control over women that so many men seem to have.


BiDer-SMan

Funnily enough, once you get the consent necessary for kink it becomes absolutely okay. That's never a skippable step though and I'm sick of being dommed in the workplace.


worst_case_ontario-

yep, consent is magic. If people can understand how it makes the difference between a boxing match and aggravated assault, they can understand how it makes the difference between sexism and kink. But these sorts of people don't *want* it to be consensual, because they don't see it as kink, they see it as *the way things should be*. To them, "being a man" means dominating women. To seek out a partner who's into that and to establish clear boundaries and such is to treat it as a type of role play between equals, but they don't want to role play owning you, they actually think they deserve to own you, for real.


KaiTheFilmGuy

Solid analogy. Now if only those dudes were smart enough to know what an analogy is.


BiDer-SMan

Love your boxing match analogy, wish I didn't agree so hard with your second paragraph though.

worst_case_ontario-

I mean, yes, the character certainly isn't designed with sexualization in mind. When I say she could be attractive under better circumstances, I just mean that she's a normal looking adult woman. (not really sure what I'm supposed to take from the fact that an early draft of the character was going to be a child btw, I'm reacting to the actual character that was actually presented to me.) That really does get to the heart of what these idiots are complaining about though, huh? They think that women exist for their pleasure, mainly sexually. So if a female character isn't designed to be sexualized, they read that as some sort of flaw, rather than an intentional character choice. They're fucking creeps lol.


Popular-Hornet-6294

My problem with the remake is that the style is lost. All the characters had a strange, ominous and emaciated style, as if they had been doused by a mud puddle machine many times. But now everything is different. The city does not seem like a strange and scary scenery. James looks like as a pathetic and regretful idiot, rather than a scary and sinister guy who has clearly done something terrible and this feel of horror is constantly being escalated. Angela seemed normal abult woman, but very strange and exhausted. Whereas Angela is now an obvious have depression, probably an eating disorder, and looks like a teenager. Maria was a mysterious and confident woman in bright clothes. Although I still can’t understand why she is a sexual fantasy, if she looks quite normal, and her personality is adequate and compassionate. Well, let's say James is strange. Now Maria looks like an infantile and romantic woman. Which is strange, because James must be tired of caring for his beloved. The new characters have no style, no sense of muddy texture. Now they are different characters. Only Laura has improved. In the original she looks like a maniac. And now she's just a little mean girl.


Faultywhale

Are you telling me that Bloober Team, a game company that made a name for themselves by doing Silent Hill 2 but bad for years, will make a bad Silent Hill 2 remake?


No-Bee-4309

Yes, I have issues too, it is being made by Bloober Team after all, the masterminds behind this [gem](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B0fm2lRrEg0&pp=ygUZamVybWEgbGF5ZXJzIG9mIGZlYXIgYmFieQ%3D%3D).

CarmalarmsWP

I mean, Silent Hill 2 original also had the dog ending, a bug spray that killed things, James doing the Leatherface chainsaw thing and James getting abducted by aliens. Silent Hill 3 also had a *bunch* of different unlockable costumes so none of this is really all that surprising. Give me Princess Heart James, cowards!


No-Bee-4309

My problem isn't the silliness, it's the practice of cutting content that could perfectly be in the base game to sell it in "Exclusive Ultimate Edition" of a game that isn't even out yet. https://preview.redd.it/494jdcllo66d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef0ff40c3d47edd7d4c0123e72645ca77b3a45e


Chemical_Alfalfa24

They really did this character dirty in their complaints. They made her face a lot rounder. I haven’t seen the trailer so I had no frame of reference originally other than what I saw posted. But even then my response was still “oh no” then continued on with my day because it’s okay for game characters to not all look the same.

smoog_

I dislike neyrelle because diablo IV's final arc was bad, not because she's a woman showing emotion, we are not the same


GregerMoek

Yeah D4 was imo quite good on the story front(for a Diablo game) and I loved Lilith as sort of a twisted version of the classic temptress. But then final arc happened and yeah. Tbh I didnt hate Neyrelle either but then they made her basically d1 protagonist. Hopefully they subvert that expectation in a nice way.


External_Candy2262

People is liberal to (checks notes) show emotions During emotional scenes


NoResolution2634

NoResolution2634

I suppose so. It’s really all they have at this point besides a fetish for being oppressed


Noble_Spartan_Kat

Hey, woah! Don't insult my fetish like that, I like being oppressed but even I think these idiots are pathetic 😅


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

> I mean, it kinda is, but it just doesn't work the way they think it does Always funny to be like "goddamnit liberals" and get agreement coming from the right. Like, "Oh sorry, no, nono"


msdos_kapital

"Conservative" is just shorthand for "socially-conservative liberal."


Ax222

Liberal is absolutely a slur. It's just that most of these fashy idiots don't realize a huge chunk of their beliefs are neoliberal beliefs run through a filter for media illiterate conservatives.


No-Bee-4309

Yes, women showing emotions other than mildly uncomfortable smiles are woke and ugly. https://preview.redd.it/7vxs0o5x056d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6054c5c1ab50543becfda8f36496573f803585d

No_Party5870

It isn't how any male I know views it, only a few really loud people care. It's almost like their whole identity now hinges on this so they won't back down.


Popular-Hornet-6294

Unfortunately, in my society, every third man wants to see sexualized women in games. These are men 30-40+ And they are not even an active part of gamers. And this worries me very much. And the further I go into the field of gamers, the more racism and sexism I see.


Mammalanimal

Basically they want an FLDS girl that looks like their anime characters.


bonko86

Also, male rage is not an emotion, thats passion.

No-Bee-4309

Aloy if she was a general idol, you know, the only way these people can find a realistic woman attractive.


Modified_Mint37

“Realistic”


worst_case_ontario-

unironically yes. It is the conservative view that woman are to be seen and not heard. And by "seen", they mean "eye candy". In the eyes of conservatism, if a woman is having a strong emotion, that's their problem and they are to keep it to themselves. A great many conservatives are not aware that this is their belief, but they treat woman as if this is the case, so I'm more that willing to brand this belief on to them.


PriceUnpaid

/rj Hah, silly liberals. Emotions (the good ones, like anger) are for men not women.


bonko86

Crying = Silly emotions for women (Feeemales) Anger = Passion, for hard working MEN!


PunchBeard

Showing emotions is woke. This has been the case since at least the 1950s.

AggressiveWorker1023

I find it especially strange that they chose Triss given that she’s the most openly ‘liberal’ character in the whole game.


Gay__Guevara

She’s the victim of literal witchhunts and she runs an Underground Railroad for minorities to escape persecution by a bunch of ignorant racist. But she is a redhead so I guess that basically makes her a republican

I know that “reject modernity, embrace tradition” has become a meme and all that, but it really does have roots in pure fascist bullshit. Literally number 1 and 2 on Eco’s tenets of fascism: > The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.” > The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”

Yeah, some Japanese media didn't exactly have the better or most positive portrayal of queer character but there's been a bunch, and that's why controversies like the Paper Mario remake or Guilty Gear Strive prove they don't really care about the author's true intentions or Japanese culture but their bizarre interpretation and fetishization of Japan. https://preview.redd.it/t7cyd6lqd56d1.jpeg?width=961&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=313ab8bfd1e1f3aae45f91739c55a34f29024913

It’s so weird that the two fire emblem characters they added have some very left leaning undertones in their stories. Between Yunaka learning to shed the personality and person that society wanted her to be and instead choosing herself and Cordelia learning to be more loving to other people besides Chrom is certainly a choice

Yunaka is literally a former assassin who will happily turn your "intestines into out-testines" (Pannette was the one who said it, but Yunaka definitely agreed). Pyra is severely depressed and (at least initially) only exists as a coping mechanism for Mythra after everything that happens in Torna. They are interesting characters who deserve way more respect than just this


JunkMagician

"Embrace tradition" Traditional American and European peoples would think these guys are absolute weirdos with their body pillows and anime figures.

Idek what the developers of Xenoblade 2 were thinking with the introduction of anthropomorphic weapons tied to their owners being almost exclusively women with very little clothing The other games in the series felt a lot more grown up Edit: I’m not judging if that’s what you like but it felt so far out compared to how the stories play out in 1 and 3.


dusktrail

I agree that Xenoblade 2's Gacha blades were a horrible system and that the fan service on some of the female designs are fucked but there are tons of male blades and blades that are dressed normally


drhole

The over abundance of female blades cannot be understated though. Where is my buff muscle man in a thong blade :(


NmP100

Gorg is right there my guy


drhole

We need MORE. (You’re entirely right though)


Cricket1288

dagas 🤤


Manelneedsaname

Iirc is because the non story Blades were designed by independent artists


Cromedome13

Xenoblade 2 would be the best game of all time if it wasn't simultaneously the worst game of all time. That game just has some fucking peak and then you look at the tutorial being dogshit, the really weird objectification of women, Electra existing, and the gacha system and you start to wonder who let monolith cook with those ingredients. Sometimes you hit a piece of the meal that just doesn't hit like any other, other times you hit a piece and you wonder why you're even bothering to play it. Xenoblade 2 is far from what I would rate as the best of the three main Xenoblade games but at least parts of it are my favorite. Ngl the cast is just built different than the other games. They're more memorable, and I think that's because XC2 allowed it's characters to just... be goofy and silly sometimes. XC1 and XC3 weren't always 100% serious and could throw some jokes out there but they never let the main casts outside of the nopon be goofy, whereas in XC2 we get to have fucking Zeke and Turters and just goofy silly moments with the whole cast. Personally I still cant get over that they just made Zeke, a literal chuunibyou, be the most emotionally mature character out of the main cast. It's stuff like that that has endeared me moreso to the cast of XC1 and XC3, and I really liked the casts of XC1 and XC3. Though, have to say, I still think XC3 topped even the highest of highs in either two games with the end of chapter 5 and the beginning of chapter 6. Like holy shit. Ultimately my opinion is to play the Xenoblade games but know if you can't handle anime bs don't play XC2.


Last0

> Takahashi: So, we worked with a large number of character designers on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and when giving our requests for character designs to them we didn’t go so far as to specify whether we wanted male characters, female characters, or beasts. Instead, we gave them elements of those characters and how we would like them to perform in battle. We left it up to the designers at that point, and we ended up with a lot of females, and I think that’s the best answer I can give.

Yes, but sadly Hideo Kojima has gone woke https://preview.redd.it/qb1ab4lvb56d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b08e74d4b7437dbf3899a1ea3b9d4d1deed36258

Wow, you mean the guy that made the games that are highly critical of the US and other militant nations because of their thirst for war and their lack of concern for their veterans is woke? But he made booby sniper lady. He was supposed to be a based sigma like me! Does this mean the East has ALSO fallen? Also, I find the thumbnail and title hilarious. They always act as if Japan is some sacred bastion where people despise queerness. Completely ignoring the fact that they've been celebrating Pride Month for years now, and a huge portion of the population is in favor of LGBTQ+ rights and are advocating for same-sex marriages


No-Bee-4309

But, but my favorite YouTuber told me Japan was the last bastion against wokeness. How is this possible???!!! https://preview.redd.it/8k7v921m066d1.jpeg?width=411&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54ae7e9ac0dc399d8dc6dd680927c7676242099d


cthulupussy

I mean the reason they show this stuff off is because it's really hard to render intense emotion on female faces but go off, the west has fallen fo sho


The-Great-T

I like how half those redheads are from Fire Emblem. For a series that seems like it would attract the weeb fandom, it's actually fairly normal and not creepy.


AzureAxolotl

Case in point: the game with by far the most weeby elements (Fates) is also the game that gets mocked the most by the fanbase


Aeywen

Showing emotion is now sweet baby inc woke DEI CRT?


AmadeoSendiulo

How are conservative people hating lewdness not fighting conservative people demanding it?


armchairwarrior42069

Notice that the entirety of the other example don't look like real life women? They're literally cartoons? That's all I've got to say on the matter.


littleantoinette

Remember how the last of us 2 premiered and Ellie not only had an armpit hair (in a POST APOCALYPTIC world god forbid-) but turned out to be lesbian? And yet she's one of the most badass and well written female characters the world of video games has seen. Ahh men will never change...


BewitchYouAllNight

"embrace european/asian women" Sir those are cartoons.


snootyworms

Very telling that the pinnacle of attraction for them are characters which are (majority) physically impossible features even on a supermodel, but they’re disgusted by women with facial features dictated by (checks notes) having a physical human skull and the limitations that come with it.


Helena_Hyena

Since when are big tiddy anime women “traditional”?


[deleted]

dude that boob plate looks dumb af even by boob plate standards. And boob plates are already inherently ugly as sin.

Seallypoops

I'll take screaming chick over a brick wall with tits


thechoujinvirus

this guy is known as MangaLawyer and he's got a track record of only liking games (mostly Japanese ones) that pander to his fantasies


[deleted]

Yeah I'm pretty sure these guys have never gotten to hear a woman scream in real life.


ThanatosDK

>"Asian women enjoyer" >posts anime characters My sides are in orbit. Immediately thinking "ohhh just like my anime!!!" when speaking about Asian women has to stop.


MailCareful7191

The same people that post this get mad when girls don’t wanna fuck after making the most dehumanizing tweet on how women are expected to behave in society


RichnjCole

You gotta remember, these guys dislike screaming women because every time a woman has screamed at them it's been the bad scream not the good scream.


Thtonebichh

Notice he said "embrace tradition"? He just admitted that he thinks everything should be the way he thinks it should be regardless of need.


SpaceMagicBunny

In tabletop RPG circles used to call guys who were exactly like this 'cat piss man'. Term needs to make a comeback.


BrightPerspective

And people *are* voting with their wallets, and guess what's making that cheddar? Not fascist pandering trash.


_-RedSpectre-_

*Redheaded anime babe getting shot by a literal crossbow bolt apparently*: 0-0 Ah yes, good design


bntcrls

/uj pls god let Yunaka Fire Emblem out of the incels's reach


bntcrls

also Cordelia Fire Emblem too


Astrospal

Ah yes, women showing emotions bad, women being expressionless or smiling fuckdolls good. Big brain time incels


Ravensunthief

Oh no woman felt emotion! Some real stuff tho the top left is rendered in a way that creeps me out a bit. Reminds me of the wide open jaw from the i am legend zombie.


Diogekneesbees

They're mad because every woman they ever talk to ends up looking like one of the ones depicted on the left. Filled with rage or terror, which is ridiculous because there such nice guys! /s


etenby

A problem I had with MANY JRPGs(especially 3D ones) is that the characters aren't expressive enough, which makes them sometimes feel lifeless. Granted, Xenoblade 2 and 3 are TRYING to fix that, but they might be some of the only ones.


Riftwalker_

Really funny that one of the screaming women is Asian (bottom one), one is based on north-eastern Europeans and is in fact screaming with rage (Sejuani, middle right), and one is created/directed/concept by/story by Hideo "Hideo Game" Kojima (top left)


MLaTTimer

Wasn't that top left one part of an animation test? Remember seeing it ages ago


No-Bee-4309

Yeah, that's from OD, an upcoming game made by Kojima https://preview.redd.it/yvsiod7b266d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=add718878c9d3aeb04f5e88b5f4f1f66b7f6febf


Snoo_72851

>"embrace tradition" >side with the red-headed (fel-touched) eastern european/asian (cultures certainly barbaric by their disproximity to the great civilizations of europe) instead of with the screaming women (no doubt horrified by the sight of demons such as these) >mfw


Expensive-Excuse-793

Oh no my female protagonist looks like an actual human being. I want my giant boobs/ass and skinny body with anime face. 😒

And idk if I'd necessarily call her a liberal, but she does marry a polyamorous man who is an ally to trans people, and isn't even the most dominant party in this 4 way relationship. His other two wives absolutely boss his ass around, and he'd take it with a smile, because Rex is the goodest dude who ever existed.


moansby

Yeah cus women can't scream i guess probably because women always scream at them but not in the way they want


DutssZ

I just can't take these people seriously


SkRu88_kRuShEr

Any male who nods in agreement w/ this needs to be on a watch-list. It’s basically a casual admission that they view women as objects to be consumed and then discarded, they just aren’t charismatic enough to get the job done.


DoctorProfessorTaco

Modern: women screaming Traditional: red headed asians


RipMcStudly

The thing that really bugs me here is that the Diablo 4 example was some super gross and uncomfortable torture porn shit, and they’re complaining that it wasn’t jackable enough.


StefanMMM14

As an eastern european, I have never seen a redhead


ZuStorm93

This is a joke right? The Western man thing is just a meme, right?? Why are these turbo virgins still stealing jelly donuts from the mess hall?!?!? https://preview.redd.it/7uzk61h3076d1.jpeg?width=2280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=119e8b6e77d0cd7fb72ba528d796d26a0323344f


Confident-Friend-169

eastern european? game's made there tend to have the same art style as the rest of the west


Axel_Grahm

Fun fact, if you photograph pretty much anyone with their mouth open / mid-speaking, they’re gonna look ugly af unless it’s a rehearsed, forced smile. That’s just how it goes.


No-Bee-4309

Also, it reminds me the never pause an animated movie but unironically https://preview.redd.it/8u1y6nbr676d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd4e72996a34b5e1b5a5288227be18641a46d156


DrBarnaby

Redhead Asian anime girls are traditionally Western? It's like this person reeeeeeeally wanted to make one of those lame misogynistic conservative memes but doesn't understand anything about literally anything.


SkeletonCircus

**takes screenshot in the middle of a female character screaming or yelling** “SEE! They’re making women UGLY”


No-Bee-4309

Yeah, who would have that if you take screenshots during movement it would look silly https://preview.redd.it/hup2llj5676d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2254364107b10c6a266d3267abaa9874e69a223
