> Olympics lifters or competitive weightlifters are extremely abnormal
And I wasn't suggesting them as examples of normal women. I was saying you'd probably faint if you saw a real woman who's actually extremely muscular, which Aloy from Horizon is far from.
Aloy looks completely normal even in the cutscene you shared, which is a cherry-picked unflattering one. Attached are 4 pics that I assume are also in-game scenes showing her from more neutral perspective. If you think this is egregiously ugly character design, then you just have coomer goggles on.
And I'm not even touching any of the promo material / alternative designs / etc. of her.
> No it doesn't, we already went through this, there's several industries, journos, media, etc. to push this nonsense.
And yet BG3 won game of the year, in part by appealing to coomers. All those shady conspiracies to make female characters "ugly" and yet the entire industry is swooning over a game that made them extremely sexy and specifically used that for marketing. (Just balancing it out by including an equal amount of straight female / gay male fan service, so they can keep up their faux-progressive image.)
> The industry and ideology is currently entirely cynical and mostly goes against nature
Kawaii uguu anime girls aren't nature, mate. Aloy looks like a 100% normal natural-looking female human being.
> and what most of the players actually want
Most of the players are coomers, is my whole point. The studios have a choice between pandering to coomers and pandering to wokies and they do what they think will make them the most money. Simple as.
> You're literally currently cheerleading the popular bourgeois ideology, the ideology which is currently extremely hostile to anything not adhering to it
You're not even hearing my argument. Yes there are people who want to make representation of female characters in media ever so slightly less sexually objectified. Call that an evil feminazi conspiracy if you want, or call it the popular bourgeois ideology.
My point is that seeing them as evil powerful shady overlords ruining video games is completely stupid, given how little power they actually have. A studio decides to make a female character that merely looks *normal* instead of a CGI sex doll, and they get dragged through the fucking mud for it.
