    I wish there were more beautiful boys in games 😔

    The default male protagonist is always that masculine look. I want a twink protagonist. I want a femboy.

        True, but it’s a gacha game.

        I tried running a server emulator for it, but I couldn’t get logged in.

        Pretty decent. The “homunculus” guy was kinda cute too?

          Also voiced by Charles Martinet, apparently mario-finger

          I recently became aware of this game and found the protagonist being a Raiden look-a-like interesting. I feel like just one generation later the devs would have been pressured to make him more generically rugged to make him appeal to the Western market, though to be honest, nobody would have made an oddball big budget adventure game like this on the PS3 anyway (aside from David Cage)

          You should, but the hexbear mods are picky about what constitutes a valid opinion. I made a comment in another thread about not enjoying the new trend of baggy pants on women, got banned from the thread lol.

                  It wasn’t the actress, it was the pants, and them not being flattering.

                  The Twitter user nor the post mentioned anything about the actress. Did you see the picture in the post? Or are you just inserting preconceived biases here

      I think that’s a pretty interesting point that’s never brought up in Gamer Discourse. They complain how western game studios make women fat and ugly and angry while Japanese games game women feminine and busty and attractive and gushing with joy.

      But they never talk about how western game studios make every male character gruff, masculine, angry, and muscular while Japanese games generally have them be twinks or just “anime guy” with some VA who’s emulating a high school boy’s voice.

          Yes, nowadays OCO2 made the faces look more humanoid. It takes serious cosmetic work to make a potato look human.

    It’s really funny that reactionaries don’t have a theory of mind.

    I just realized I make all my characters look freakish and generally unpleasant to look at, especially in online games.

    like beady-rat eyes, busted skin, cro-mag brow. in ark I made the eyes tiny and as wide set as possible. short and squat, paunchy, neckless.

    it’s always some combination of like derelict missing link meets yikes.

    the payoff is like cut scenes and shit, because there’s a generally a subtle implication in those scenes that the player character is sexy/attractive/desirable and it clashes hard with my bipedal disaster to add unintentional amusement.

      Same. If a a game gives me a slider to adjust any part of my character’s appearance I will treat it like an on/off button. It will end up all the way to the left or all the way to the right.

      Lower jaw forward/back is not a spectrum. It is a binary.

      i remember in second life if you moved all the sliders to the left your person would look like a hunched over little goblin with a huge mouth and it was perfect

    I love it when men tell women what women find attractive/s

    Do these guys know why boy bands and bishonen are popular?

    HAVE THEY NOT SEEN HOW GIRLS REACT TO LINK?!?

    Personally I’m not into meatheads or twinks. I like somewhere inbetween. Even then looks aren’t really a priority for me, if a dude genuine and shares my beliefs that’s the most important thing for me.
