    I'm kinda just hearing a dude complain abt devs making characters in games look more realistic and forcing beauty standards less. Also saying "There's an overemphasis on diversity" and then showing pictures of black women/characters is wild, as well as showing mostly POC characters/women while making your argument in this video. The call is coming from inside the house, man. However, I will say- as a fat person who's also AFAB- I literally couldn't care less abt whether devs choose to make characters that look like me. But it is weird af for ppl to complain abt devs doing what they want with their own game. If the dev isn't perpetuating harmful ideas/standards, then literally who cares.

    the aloy screenshot is using the "disgusted" face option in the games photo mode. It also is in a terrible angle. if someone suddenly snapped a pic of you with their phone right in your face, you would look much uglier then normal (I know, shocker). She is literally just a normal redhead. I wouldn't say she is really eye-catching as a character but she really isn't meant to be, so it doesn't matter in the first place. Most of the other pics can be related straight to this. Prolly used the photo mode to put the character with a goofy face, and even then some of these don't even suceed at making her look ugly. I'm not even talking about the fact that this video's examples are: a game that hasn't even released yet, a game that is famous for having terriblt ugly character design, someone who isn't even ugly, and a character I have never even seen. And that's where the entire point stands..... wow. Honestly, maybe I should've spent my time watching a funny video or something...

    as an art student, this kinda just sounds like you have an issue with forced diversity, which i also dont think is a thing. anybody should be allowed to exist without the implication that they need to have some underlying agenda. appeal is a real concept in character design but it doesnt concern things like somebody's fkn canthal tilt or face fat, appeal is a character's overall energy, design in relation to their personality (not role), and distinctiveness in comparison to their companion characters. i definitely agree that concord failed hard on design due to impractical clothing, anachronistic fashion choices, and no general harmony, but your example problem shouldve been with the fact that there are so many more creative ways to design a healer character besides slapping on a facemask and your typical cliches, not because the healer is fat and that doesnt fit the trope. like a fat nurse most definitely exists irl, no?

    Concord wasn’t bad because the characters looked “ugly” it was bad because it’s just another basic game in an oversaturated market with nothing to set it apart from the others. It started development in 2016 (the time overwatch came out) and was very clearly hopping on the hero shooter trend at the time and missed it by nearly a decade. It has nothing to do with “ugly” characters (any character that doesn’t look like Laura Croft or tifa lockheart by your logic) being in the game. These were meant to be based on real people and real people have varying body types.

    Do you just faint at the sight of a video game character who doesn't fit the label of conventionally attractive? There isn't an overemphasis on diversity, theres a social shift in video game demographics because video games were always marketed towards male audiences and developers didn't have to put in the effort into character design, but now that there's evidently a larger pool of people from different backgrounds who enjoy playing video games. Men don't realize that they've been pandered to for literal decades with the kinds of characters that fit their own demographic or what they would find attractive, now that it's not exclusively for men, you feel like developers are "pandering" these other people who have interests in video games. Bad visual design is a problem today but it's not because a character isn't a fit, attractive white person. You should've made two separate videos, one about bad visual design and the another about this other nonsense

When I say normal I don't mean realistic to real life, I mean the face looks normal even for a video game that would have pretty characters, and the point you were trying to make about people not wanting to play "ugly" characters doesn't really make sense either as I find unique looking characters charming. I also find the idea of not adding an "ugly" character to be pretty stupid cause if all the characters were stereotypically pretty the game would look bland.
