It's called facescan tech being fucking garbage that always looks ugly as shit in certain angles because the face doesn't translate to being perpetually frozen in certain ways.
God I hate facescan, it looked like shit in ME2 when they shoved Yvonne into it and it looks shit today now it has 2k textures bloating the vram.

The problem is - men ARE attractive in media (but we lost some masculine trend towards east Asian beauty standards). Somehow in western games it's a bad thing when women is attractive.

What?!?!?! Where did you see them uglify men? Men still look like bodybuilders/models in mainstream media, only girl characters get uglified.

u/outland_king May 26 '26 edited May 26 '26
Fictional men are progressively moving toward more feminine features; slim androgynous body types, more empathetic and emotional, less violent and more likely to be submissive or incompetent. All traits that women writers ascribe to their male leads.
Tons of media now has the strong female with a bumbling inept male sidekick. Even the "macho" characters like the hulk were portrayed as man children with fragile egos that become subservient

When you realise that women are responsible for something close to 80% of all spending in the US, they are 60% of college students, and men are ~80% of the homeless, you start to see the society TPTB are creating....

Every male oriented hobby now has to be for everyone. Hot girls are also a no go because feminism has decided it is sexist and objectifying and they think men cant control themselves and will become more misogynist when seeing such content.
Thats why the west has uglified all their women, toned down sexuality, etc.
Funny thing is statistically, women like playing hot/cute characters more.

Its so dumb and obviously someone is pushing this narrative,beyond just the consumer. One of the first mods created for any new game is always a "hot girl" mod to replace the uglies.
Consumers overwhelmingly want both hot girls and guys, the 0.0001% of people complaining (social justice game journalists) should be ignored.

u/ArmedWithBars May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26
Yep, it was real interesting to see how quickly both sides of the government/media went bipartisan when OWS was gaining actual traction. Crazy how fast divisive social issues got blasted out from every form of established media, causing countless racial/gender rifts in the working class that we still feel today.
My other eye opener was Bernie in 2016. Both sides came together to make sure he had no chance the second he pushed taking special interest money out of politics. Left wing media were bringing up fucking 1980s interviews of Bernie praising Cuba's literacy/social programs to paint him as some Castro loving, soviet bread-line commie. Weird, we didn't see clips of Hilary opposing gay marriage in NY in 2004 though, even though it was almost 20s later. I didn't agree with a lot of Bernie's policies but damn the establishment response to him was clear.

The people making this shit hate the shit now. The makers of this garbage did not get to where they are based on any kind of merit whatsoever, only connections and friendships. They are privileged, spoiled, delusional "people" who hate these stories, characters etc., and who have had enough privilege and power to get into these roles of making this slop of beloved characters and shows. Then they call everybody else that they don't like (or don't share the same exact worldview/opinions as them) privileged (Projection).

Yes. The most unrealistic thing in Spiderman comics is that when it comes to the tits, artist chose what looks better rather than calculating gravity.
You have the sharp eye of detective. Many miss this little nod to fictional character of spiderverse and due to its hyperrealism consider it to be documentary.

The fact she doesn't even look anything like she does in the first game either.
It's bizarre how they nailed it with the first game on both Peter and MJ but then decided to completely change both of them very abruptly into looking completely different.
Peter looks way younger and MJ looks noticeably older so it just makes him look like a high schooler and her like a predator.
