      I’m gonna correct you there. Feminists seeing pretty women…
      This BS of every woman needs to look ugly in games disgusts me. Especially when they are made to look like men. Women gamers want to look pretty. It’s fantasy. Sheesh. Let us enjoy our fantasy.

      This woman says finally. I don't want to fantasize about being some ugly woman. Being a sexy battle goddess that men lust over is some females power fantasy. I hate playing ugly characters. My god, I wanted to play a druid so bad in Diablo 4 and I can't get past level 5 because the character model for both male and females are ugly AF

    Speaking of Aloy, Aloy was based on a rather good-looking model but was then made “more realistic”. It’s actually not uncommon for the “modernists” to complain about good looking female characters being “unrealistic”, and then it turns out that the “unrealistic” character was modeled on a real woman.

    The thing that really invalidates their messages about Body Positivity and "impossible beauty standards," is that they're not the same for men and women. They have no problem expecting and desiring men with impossible beauty standards, and no problem with fat shaming men for even the tiniest bit of flab. You need not to look further than with the character of Thor. Since Phase 1 of the MCU, he was more sexualized than Scarlet Johansson. But as the MCU progressed the female characters had milder and milder outfits while Thor remained as eye candy with the exception of Endgame, where he was constantly mocked and ridiculed for his appearance and mannerisms. Rendered as stereotype of a fat man drinking bear and playing Fortnite. Then in Love & Thunder, Thor gets back in shape and... he's back to being eye candy, even being stripped naked on screen, much to the pleasant surprise of the female characters.
    And where were Feminist criticisms pointed towards? The depictions of the female characters like Black Widow.

    You look at the people the models are based off and they are healthy, fit and generally conventionally attractive, as soon as the 3D scans done it seems to never resemble the women anymore hug the men remain remarkable true to form in their digital incarnations, plus often a more chiselled jaw, muscle tone and change of eye colour.

    OH, no, the character model IS a true scan of Shin Jae-eun's body and I'll admit to looking at more than enough photos of her to verify that yeah, there was no enhancement in the game of her assets. She is a well-built, sexy woman with, let's just say it, nicely sized breasts, wide hips, and a curvy butt - some have tried to claim she's flat but clearly they didn't see some of her...spicier photos. Legitimately, she HAS the kind of hips in some shots where they're well and away wider than the waist, her arms and legs are very slim indeed, etc. Point IS, what you see in the game came from her, even if different outfits ACCENTUATE those things in a way that seem to amplify them (in the same way, the model she's based on looks significantly curvier depending on the outfit she's wearing, the pose and the angle - I did my research, not for nefarious reasons but because I wanted to get to the bottom of those "unrealistic" and "enhanced" claims. The FACE of the character is altered somewhat, probably for likeness reasons (they'd have to pay her more I'd wager) but even that is not that altered - she has the same cute, slightly large ears, the same face and nose shape - mainly it's the eyes and hair and maybe mouth but a lot of her face structure IS there.
    SPEAKING of uglifying and ALOY, have you SEEN how beautiful the model ALOY is based on is in real life? Gorgeous. And look what they did to her face. It's WEIRD. They deliberately made her less attractive than than real woman SHE is based on. Now, I still love the Horizon games, but I'm just saying, she DID get a bit uglier between round 1 and 2.

Boy, they gave her a jawline you can plow snow with, and she looks more like Peter's aunt or something. And then, when you look up the person they used as the model, she looks really pretty!

      i play Guild Wars 2 for a long time now. there are 5 playable species, 2 are more or less human (humans and the taller norn), another one humanoid plant and the other two are cats and rats. guess what, the humans aren't very popular, at least not any more than any other species. most people care about values, not about gender or look.

Hated his voice and appearance.

    Speaking from a more KOREAN oriented mind (Since I've been delving into KOREAN and ASIAN culture for YEARS as a fellow Westerner) I can say that I TOTALLY agree with Shad and everything said in this video. I've see a TONS of different female characters both in video games and movies and I have to agree that making female characters more "ugly" to make them more "appealing" for a "modern" audience is wearing itself thin at this point now that we're in 2024. I've been following Stellar Blade since 2019 when it was first called Project EVE and let me tell you they have ALREADY toned it down in terms of the complaints regarding Eve's physique and model in terms of her assets so to speak. I'm going to watch or play this game myself since I ADORE Korean culture and to see that other people are BASHING on a female character not only diminishes and discourages Asian game developers from expanding their audience and creativity, but also squashes advancement of the gaming industry over stupid values that shouldn't matter in a damn video game. I've played all 3 of the reboot Tomb raider games (and I'm a straight female IRL) and it was FANTASTIC experience for me. I'm going to enjoy this game since I LOVE these type of sci-fi post-apocalyptic themes and I LOVE how they've tied in Neir, Battle Angel Alita and other inspirations. Some people are here to play the game for the story. Honestly I couldn't care less and I LOVE EVE and the story they're portraying. Nobody had any issue with 2B and her assets due to the time the game was released in and it's a darn shame that this beautiful project is getting bashed NOW due to the unfortunate social climate we live in with our social norms. Either way I can see both sides of the argument but regardless I'm looking forward to this game.

    I _would_ actually like to focus on the gameplay of Stellar Blade; it looks like the slickest, smoothest, most dynamic spectacle fighter (Devil May Cry, Scarlet Nexus, Prince of Persia, and so on) that I have ever seen. Eve basically air-dances through combat encounters, and it looks. . . well, spectacular. There's lots of cool moments where she does things like dodge-cancel into other attacks, or swap to a powerful ranged attack mid-maneuver, just lots of really cool stuff that looks like a ton of fun to execute. It reminds me of the old 'Crazy Gameplay' bonus feature in Devil May Cry 3, where somebody was just controlling and playing Dante to the absolute peak of what the system allowed for. If you like the _gameplay_ of Sekiro, NieR: Automata, or Devil May Cry, this will be a must-buy, and I can only imagine how happy it must make the developers of this game to stand in such company.

    I've felt hurt many times walking across the streets seeing enticingly clad women on posters leering at you.
    I was like: "So, you advertisers tell the world that *this* is normal for a woman? To offer herself up to the lustful imaginations of literally *every single guy that walks by*?
    But then for guys you DON'T do this?
    And that's what's hurtful. Not to see beauty. Not even so much to see a "sexy" character every one in a while. It's to see games with 90% of the females dressing sexy and NONE of the guys dressing sexy.
    Either have ALL main characters dress like this, or none or a few of both men and women, but don't convey to the world that it's normal for a woman to have no principles, no dignity and no self-respect.
    While all your men get to keep their dignity. No, no, no.
    So that's all I beg for. Please be fair. Give women their dignity. Then, do what you want and I will choose whether I want to play your game or leave it to others to play it. :)

    Trailer analysis after the demo:
    Outstanding demo, isn't it ? Eve being one of the main characters. It hasn't even scratched the game lore yet. Now, when you'll very much likely play the full game on release, be ready to be overwhelmed and amazed without mentioning the enormous fun factor to achieve. Check the few breakdowns below:
    1. Eve has gone all Terminator 2 as “Arnie” that is similar to Doom gameplay demons slaying with the exploding ammo, Star Wars with the laser Gun, Call of Duty with the Drone Defence machine Gun.
    2. Eve has gone all Mobile Suit Gundam with the Mech.
    3. Eve is beauty and agile, with her Girl Power and amazing true strength. Such elegance in her varied outfits.
    4. Eve is Battle Angel Alita. She is the next gen Bayonetta.
    5. Eve to battle Tachy as a boss as she mutates into a Naytiba after being touched and cut by the alien's blade.
    6. Music
    7. Gameplay including Blade skating (Tony Hawk's type), F-zero X style channels gliding alongside the rocking music equal to pure joy and fun.
    8. Game Lore: What happened to Earth, origins of the Naytibas: their weaknesses, strengths, adaptability, infections, mutations, how they think: destroyed earth and the world to explore. Stories to unveil soon. Fight for Earth and all it holds as one unique place.
    9. Next Gen
    10. Game of the Year confirmed.
    More gamers should have the opportunity to play the game and on more platforms, however currently a full PS5 exclusive.
    Okay agree to Sony publishing this so they hold the distribution of this game on platforms. PC possibly after some years - XBox & Nintendo well damn very likely never ever!

    I don't play games as much as I used to, but when I did I liked to see beautiful people. The ugifying of characters has been going on for the past few years. I'm hoping that this is the death rattles of the woke movement as the pendulum swings the other way.

    LOVE THIS CHANNEL! So true that women can't handle seeing a woman they precive as being better looking than they without falling apart. Cannot wait to "enjoy" this game in the ways the developers mean for it to be enjoyable to men
