Starting to see why people were pre-emptively saying we shouldn't compare this "unfairly" to BG3.
You can't be evil, you can't even really be just an asshole.
Every backstory is some heroic donut steel fan fiction tier shit where Rook is the best and saves everyone.
Breast and butt sliders do nothing but you can have fucking top surgery scars for some reason. I guess Thedas has a booming modern day cosmetic surgery scene going on.

Say what you want about BG3 but it wasn't safe and sterile. Oh and HP and Mana potions litter battlefields like it's a fucking FPS game apparently.

I don't think I want to see any of those abominations nude. But that's just me.

I'm very into cock and ball torture
Also I'm weirded out that there's a setting to cut off the woman's breast, like, that's fucked man. I don't understand how shit like this is being celebrated and pushed by the main stream. Who the fuck wants to cut off their god given private parts.

My great-aunt has vitiglio. I feel offended on her behalf. It is not some banner to wave around in the culture war.

Isn't it strange that only models show off their vitiligo? And only during the photo session?

This is because this disease means that you will never function normally in space, and a sunny day can cripple you. Because it's something terribly shitty that no one wants, especially in fantasy games that are for fun. Nobody wants to see their disability on screen. They want pretty characters.

So it's not a question of "representation". These sliders are banners of people who fantasize about being rebels. But they care about fighting for the slider, not actually playing that way.

Also it's because vitiglio is easy to implement, just warp and noise filters on textures.

much harder to implement complex things like a wheelchair.

Good observation. This particular disease can be aestheticized and fetishized in a way that cannot necessarily be done with skin cancer or even a wheelchair.

It's a humiliation ritual. They know this stuff isn't popular though they can't help but force their weird fetishes and psychotic thinking into absolutely everything.

The vast majority of people want to look at characters who are as attractive as, say, Henry Cavill or Rachel Weisz in their prime. They're not interested in looking at the disgusting freaks that the terminally online create and promote.

I was already avoiding the game though I have a special kind of loathing for any game that promotes mutilation/top surgery scars or the flooding of European inspired settings with forced diversity.

They ruin every game they touch. Any grit or nuance is removed or eroded. Characters can no longer disagree strongly with each other or react naturally to messed up situations. There's no real stakes or sense of danger. Say what you will about Dragon Age: Origins but some of the potential outcomes and unavoidable outcomes were pretty brutal.
