it’s pretty clear at this point that in our post-Sarkeesian gaming climate there is a fairly conscious effort in the west to *desexualize* and reduce the *objectification* of an increasing number of female leads, as if they’re not still made of polygons. If it wasn’t happening then it wouldn’t get to the point of telling people to get over it and get a life for simply pointing it out.
Some cases yes, in terms of costuming and outfits: MK11 and MK1 (all the women still look pretty or more than hot enough; my big bro wasn't crying about it), Last of Us I & II, and maybe Tomb Raider 2013 (the game was in production long before Sarkeesian ran her mouth off, the sequels you might have a point). Everything else is either no, or you have people that want everything to be like the 90s or 2000s all over again, 24/7. Men who refused to grow up, and still act like horny and obnoxious teenagers or 20 somethings with unrealistic/impossible expectations of beauty on women. Forcing them into their pathetic little category boxes. These women are still either good looking or attractive, but these assholes either want super models giving them blowjobs or anime waifus to "serve them and only them". They want impossible sex objects with little to no personality, other than "hot/sexy".
Not to mention, there's plenty in the AA, smaller, or indie space with hot looking women, cute looking women, and just regular good looking or average women, yet you rarely see these butt-fucks whining about it nor crying wolf. When they do though, it's just as tiresome and aggravating. If they hate the state of the industry that much, then they might as well look somewhere else and quit AAA altogether. Oh, they can't, because they either lose their echo chamber if it's a rage baiter, or these won't quit until they "win and restore the pecking order". All of these assholes are full shit, have little to no points (if they do, it's barely minor at best and they ruin it by shooting themselves with a shotgun), and just constantly screech until they get what they want. Even when they do, they're never happy, because it's never. Fuck them, fuck their lies and partial truths, fuck their scamming and manipulations, and fuck their pathetic "standards". They have nothing to stand on nor any "points". People are only fooling themselves, if they think all that shit is true, and only helping the rage baiters and alt-right gain some type of credit to manipulate those young, foolish, or blinded by their own hate and insecurities to notice they're being played.
BTW: one of people who "has a point" cried the newest iteration of Lara Craft looking like a "transwoman", even though this next new reboots has her pretty as possible looks near identical to classic Lara with the shorts and everything.
Hmm, you didn't explicitly, because that would have required substantiation. What you did instead was list it among various other things that happened during Biden's tenure... as evidence for why his tenure was destabilising. I didn't say Biden's tenure was destabilizing. What I'm suggesting is...
