Western women are so insecure about their looks that they even feel threatened by fictional characters. It's as simple as that.

Is not western woman pushing it. There are a lot of woman who like this type of character and do cosplays of this characters. Is western Frankfurt neo marxists who believe that everything that the average male likes is heresy/problematic and everything that he hates is "progress".

don't think there's any actual audiences that really wants woman uglyfied.

Consumer audience? No. Activist investor audience? Yes.

Thinking gamers want this shit is like saying sport fans want trannies at their olympics. It's just pushed up on us from powerful people fanatical enough about it to push it against everybodies best interest.

I know several woman that actual play video games and they are all so apolitical they wouldn't even think shit like this does exist. Nor would they advocate for it ever.

Not a bad likeness, but the lowered hairline and stupid little wings of hair (that are undoubtedly influenced by the artist's affinity with the Sims-style dress up games) render her far too girlish. The freckles need to be pared back, the scar emphasised. The rest is generally correct otherwise

Do you really think that Arab women and Negresses are different?
The women living in Africa and the Middle East generally don't give a shit because they have much bigger concerns in life than how fictional women look like in a medium they're barely even familiar with (if at all). Not to mention that the idea that the whole world has to bend over backwards to accommodate women's feelings comes from neoliberalism, an ideology mainly rooted in the West. So, yeah, it's only women (regardless of race or ethnicity) in Western countries that can afford the luxury to give a shit about something so petty.

Feminists and wokes want ugly women in vidyagames and movies not to feel threatened.

It could be as simple as having aesthetically challenged proxies in a medium that elevates even the grotesque into subjects that, in the case of main characters, are always adored because of their actions. It gives them hope and a welcome distraction, and if the lustful hetero men get some spit in their eyes, then that's a bonus. If the women are true marxist believers, then the order of these motivations would be reversed.

Probably worse, because of the pressures of western commercialism that underlines that in order to be attractive you need to have light skin. Some arab women and negresses can be exceptionally hot, but they may not actually feel so. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and women in general don't value their strengths.

HOLY SHIT LMAO

Hey I know that face, isn't that the algerian troon boxer?

If the ingame face still retains that look, then holy shit the meme potential just increased by 150%.

I forward that all images of DA nu-companions be spoilered.

Reading this last page was difficult and disgusting.

Or just lock the thread and ban all discussions because it's not an RPG, not a good game and thus not relevant to the Codex.

Of course, that would never happen.

Bioware's demise can't come soon enough. It's hard to believe this character is from the same company that also designed this:

Heroes of Dragon Age is a mobile game. Have you ever seen a popular mobile game with ugly characters?

It's almost like the global audience still prefers attractive people.

Perhaps the biggest problem with women is that they can change their mind about anything 180 degrees three times in a minute.
