Because the chuds constantly just post deliberately false things. Like the fat Alloy pics. Or this whole thing with Mary Jane, comparing that pretty real-life model with the "ugly" in-game one, and using the most unflattering or flattering images of whichever they want.So, I try not to make a big deal out of this, game characters should just look how they look, but with how Stellar Blade, and specifically the main character is used as this cudgel for how western games are doing it wrong and not making the female characters look like their real-life models... Why have I been seeing this image...
...floating around as supposed proof?
I can't say the finalized ingame model shows much similarity.
Note that right-wingers do the same thing with New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She is a young attractive progressive woman of color and therefore the target of obsessive, vulgar and disgusting discourse from the right. They like to post pictures of her mid-speech or while doing something so that she looks "crazy," as way to dismiss her and her politics (which are pretty mainstream in most of the rest of the world).
My point is we're already like a decade into this internet practice of demeaning women with absurd internet pics and this is just more of that, now specifically by the gamrz.
Models are used for video games characters as a baseline, then they change stuff as wanted/needed. Any fucking jackass can just post two pictures and say literally anything they want, it's pretty impressive how stupid it is that anyone sees that and goes "yeah!" I mean, basic internet literacy at this point is required.
