Can't decide whether Empress is based or retarded. Is it possible to be both?

The real kicker is that they waste an equal amount of resources pandering to a miniscule percentage of people. I am reasonably sure that BioWare is an outliner with the 80% since they pander so hard to the female/fujoshit demographic, so other games are likely even more skewed towards the white, straight, male demographic.
Equal?
Dragon Age Inquisition had exactly 1 romanceable straight female, and she was purposely designed to look like a male.
Mike Laidlaw on Cassandra in DA2:
And then, obviously, we wanted to make sure she was hot. To dial her to eleven, to make her absolutely gorgeous, really enticing—yet at the same time, she's powerful, she's strong, she's wearing platemail

Casper Konefal on Cassandra in DA:I:
I just found beauty too subjective, too mushy too, too, well lets just say I didn't find it adequate ... Her face became all about her aggression. Through the angle of her facial structure to the angle of her ears. It all became about giving her a strong aggressive forward visual flow.

So this is the only person doing Denuvo cracks now? Is Denuvo that tough or did the scene just get lazy? Kinda sad that we have to rely on this individual.

This was one of the most pivotal moments for me where I noticed Western aesthetics in character design beginning to regress.

I at first though this was just growing pains with trying to cross further across Uncanny Valley and that DA2 she looked better because it was just less detailed.. I was naive and young, I still thought game devs were trying to make content for their consumers - it wasn't until a few games later I realized this was all intentional -making their characters disgusting abominations.
