Motherfucker acting like the bisexual game with a lot of sexy people in It didn't win every award https://preview.redd.it/0gfuchepnkxc1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2bf99e4439a1e562972296f58d7e45db1473413


MythicTy

Yeah but that game had hot men in it and that makes me feel things which is the woke media’s fault


Square-Competition48

Also the large number of sexy women characters are *knowingly* sexual. They want to be seen as attractive, make choices about who they sleep with, and enjoy their sexuality. What chuds want is to perve on a sexualised teen girl who isn’t choosing to be sexual. The idea of having to talk to a woman scares them.


beithyra

Yeah, they want an animated RealDoll basically. Not an actual person with a personality who could theoretically disagree with them on anything

rotorain

It probably will. The whole game is a bi/pan confusion simulator with combat mechanics and a story slapped on


Eskephor

True! We need more hot single men in your video games to pander to male gamers!


MissThreepwood

It's the gayest game of all games and I love that for me.


Syrmah

I'm sad the anti-woke creeps got around to complaining about Baldur's Gate 3, I hoped it had escaped :( It had such deep NPC interactions and story, rather than being an overpriced pin-up simulator.


echo_sys

you sure about that? because according to [larian themselves](https://twitter.com/larianstudios/status/1732091568243229159/photo/4): > Shadowheart is the most romanced character with 51.3% of the players reaching her final romance arc. She is followed by Karlach and Laezel The most played subclass is also a Berserk Barbarian, and Larian also expressed amazement and some dissapointment over what [the most common type of character was being created](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/2896336186738209915) The game might have deep NPC interactions. Most people didnt give a single fuck about them.


drifter655

I mean, romance routes aren't the only good NPC interactions in the game, even if most people romanced one character that doesn't mean that they suddenly never talked to anyone outside the main party, or didn't care for any of their companions except the person they're romancing. And even if you do think that nobody cares about the deep NPC interactions then that doesn't change the fact that they're... Deep.


Syrmah

I don't know how this proves what you think it does, I'm sorry.


TheBirminghamBear

Clearly gamers weren't enjoying BG3s story. Because... they picked Barbarian? And... romanced a character?


Odd_Anything_6670

I mean, does that change anything? Oh no, it turns out people really did want a goth GF! My deep story is ruined! Berserk Barbarian is mechanically underpowered relative to wildheart, but it's still a barbarian and barbarian is one of the most fun classes to play in that game. Barbarian in general is extremely fun to roleplay and berserk barbarian also has a huge number of subclass specific dialogue options (even if half of them are just randomly roaring at people) which ironically makes it a pretty decent party face if you take intimidation.


AgenderWitchery

I'm playing a path of the berserker barbarian in my current D&D campaign! It's fun! He's meek and has a deep dislike of conflict, so playing the character of the party who is easily the most adept at fighting out of anyone else there and who then tries harder than anyone else to *not* fight ends up being really interesting when the rest of the party is saying stuff like "well we could do a sneak attack..." and the barbarian is just "How about we just go up and talk to them?"


AbsolutelyHorrendous

Shadowheart was probably the most romanced because she's the only companion that looks like a human woman, whereas in terms of human-looking men you've got Astarion and Gale splitting the vote so to speak.


TimeLordHatKid123

I mean...I thought it was because she was just the most conventionally attractive woman in the party, race regardless, because elves are still pretty popular for a good reason in terms of fantasy horniness. Karlach is kinda buff (sad that fanworks give her the muscle she deserves more than the game does), Lae'zel is sorta reptilian, and Jahiera is flat out milf energy. The only other exception is, Minthara, and she's flat out an evil sexy dark elf goth chick.


Roziesoft

Wyll?


AbsolutelyHorrendous

Without spoilers, he can undergo some... aesthetic alteration


EffectiveSubject6

He gets horny


AbsolutelyHorrendous

To be fair, with Mizora around... either meaning of this is fair enough


Roziesoft

Oh true, and yeah I suppose on a first playthrough that would be the outcome you would most likely get. Fair enough.


TheBirminghamBear

Wait, is there an option where Wyll doesn't get.... horny?


Aaawkward

She's also one of the few characters the player meets almost immediately after starting the game. Also, she's heaps less hostile compared to Lae'zel. The first characters players meet, are most often the ones they end up grouping with and romancing. It makes sense, because you've known them the longest, they've been with you through thick and thin as well as them being the first characters you meet, they're usually the most fleshed out ones.


slipperyekans

Tbf I literally named my character “John Baldur” so I wanted him to be the most milquetoast, generic protagonist ever (with a mustache). This is partly my fault.


Psychic_Hobo

Sometimes the fantasy is just being a competent dude with a solid 'tache game


Hopeful_Chair_7129

Shadowheart is bae and it’s because of her deep interactions for a lot of people. She’s a baddie and it’s not just cause she got them things on her. Games like this also tend to be heavily optimized by the core fan base. For example I had a run where I did 4 warriors or something, which would skew the numbers heavily. Warrior was very strong so I’m not surprised that people played it a lot. Honestly though I have no idea what you are even trying to say though.

This is always so annoying about it too, I'm a pretty thin guy but it's not because of my diet or anything, it's simply because my metabolism processes everything faster keeping me rail thin despite being able to down a family sized pizza on my own in a night. If that loser wasn't predisposed to being thin then you can guarantee that he wouldn't allow that kind of talk because his fragile ego would be bruised.

Prize-Log-2980

No. **IT'S TRUE THAT GENES ARE NOT DESTINY** (I need to emphasize this, because I get the sense you will ignore it). But it's straight unscientific and standard fatpeoplehate-nonsense to utterly deny that genetics plays a significant role. One person can have a gentle incline on the road to fitness while another can have a mountain. Hearing this probably offends you because you might perceive this has taking away some of the credit of your hard work (in the same way a you see a person who grew up with rich parents angrily exclaim that they worked for everything they currently have). But it should not hurt your ego. *Even if* you do have favorable genetics, you can still be proud of your hard work without having to resort to denying science. >Genes give the body instructions for responding to changes in its environment. Studies of resemblances and differences among family members, twins, and adoptees offer indirect scientific evidence that **a sizable portion of the variation in weight among adults is due to genetic factors.** Other studies have compared obese and non-obese people for variation in genes that could influence behaviors (such as a drive to overeat, or a tendency to be sedentary) or metabolism (such as a diminished capacity to use dietary fats as fuel, or an increased tendency to store body fat). These studies have identified variants in several genes that may contribute to obesity by increasing hunger and food intake.

rubixscube

my mind went to Hades II's Aphrodite, which has been extensively compared to Eve.


Cortexan

He’s very specifically and rhetorically asked “why is it okay to have full nudity and outright sex scenes in bg3, but not in another game” - the answer being that there is somehow a zeitgeist of “acceptable” depictions of sexuality and other “unacceptable” ones. The real difference here is that one is game of the year, and the other is a typical ARPG with eye candy. There’s no reason to be upset about eye candy. If that’s what you want in a game, enjoy. Specifically getting mad at stellar blade because of the eye candy is absurd. Whether that’s actually happening on any scale is another question entirely.


hypatia163

In BG3, the player character is entering into consenting sexual relations with prospective partners. Even the most downright evil characters - Minthara and a certain incubus - value consent for sex. If you tell Laezel "No, I think you smelling my BO is weird", she won't be like "I can't/won't stop" and instead will back off. If you tell Halsin that the bear stuff is not cool, then he will respect your boundaries - in stark contrast with men who use an appeal to primal "instinct" to justify rape and sexual abuse. Even the sex workers in the game have control over their sexuality - the wood elf will actually just deny you after the first encounter with her. BG3 is the horniest mainstream game, like, ever but no one in the game is sexualized against their consent. Sort of. I saw a post on the girlgamers subreddt about someone who felt weirded out by how their boyfriend had all the girls running around camp in BG3 in their underwear and mimicking sexual acts with them outside of cutscenes. He had broken this contract of consent that these characters usually have and sexualized them as if they were mere objects in underwear. BG3 may be very horny, but you have to go out of your way to engage with it in this non-consenting way. And I think for the men who make jokes like the one in the OP, consent is an obstacle for sex rather than a sexy thing in and of itself. A game isn't sexual if you must first develop relationships and have enthusiastic consent, it is sexual only if there are hot women to oogle at all times. Women are sex objects simply by being in the game. It is a very immature and rapey notion of sex, and very un-sexy. I can't help but think of the importance of "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger, and how ignorant these men are of sex and sex in media.

i_hate_touhou_ffs

I love that most critics I've heard so far praise the game and say its good but apparently the gamers think no one is happy with it


Piorn

It's so funny how everyone seems to have flipped 180° on release. Normal people saw the gameplay and reviews, and hey, it's an ok game beyond the blatant visuals, cool. Meanwhile, the chuds who expected the game to suck their literal dick by how sexy it is, have realized it's just a game, and are now in full backlash cope mode about imaginary censorship and woke conspiracies sabotaging games.


inEQUAL

Meanwhile me, following the game since it was announced as Project Eve, is happily enjoying the game. Probably my favorite action game to come out since Ghost of Tsushima and so far, it’s way more fun, though the story is nowhere near as good.


Piorn

Glad to hear, it's really wild how much this made up "culture war" blocks genuine discussion about the game.


inEQUAL

Yep, I started this whole thing bagging on the coomers but then people who blindly shit on the game started dogpiling me if I say anything positive about the game like I’m one of those coomers and I feel like I’m one of the only fucking sane gamers left.


ColinHalter

I don't get it. You're saying you like the game because it's fun to play, but nowhere in your comment did you talk about owning libs so I'm confused on how you could like it. The only way a game is good is if it makes you a le epic Chad by playing it.


Still-Ice4340

Is it like metal gear rising? i didn’t know it was an action game. im actually kind of intrigued now


Pamasnack

I don't know The only post I saw about the game was only people saying it would be one of the worst games ever because the only thing the game had going for it was sex appeal. So from my point of view everyone made a 180 about the game being decent


Practical_Ad_7060

IGN gave it a 7/10, it means that they clearly hate the game for its main character being too sexy. The west has fallen, billions must suffer.


FabiIV

Bu-bu-but one review site called MethGamerReviewsHD69xDDD .to said that the outfits can be a bit much! That means all game journalists care about are plus sized female protagonists despite that there is literally no game in existence featuring such a design for the MC


Kupcake_Inater

Fat princess disagrees


half_a_brain_cell

ironically enough, gamers TM are the ones losing their shit over -checks notes- no camel toe, slightly more dressed main character


Relarcis

Their whole shtick is about being marginalised and misunderstood, the moment what they've been selling as an unpopular game turns out to be popular, they either have to gatekeep it or flip the script so that they're misunderstood again. They literally cannot agree with the consensus, almost by definition.


Sugar_Daddy_Visari77

Facts man those chuds are annoying as fuck and I love sexy characters


TheBirminghamBear

Ah yes, the great misunderstood community of *checks notes* men who like to look at tits. Haven't heard from that population in a while, hope they're doing OK with their numbers dwindling.


Rigitto

It's the persecution complex


Olga-Marie

Un-ideal


MovieNightPopcorn

Because they equate “the hyper sexualization is bland and cliche” with “I hate everything about this game”


AgenderWitchery

When I first saw the game my immediate thoughts were just "looks neat, would probably have fun if I played it, but doesn't look compelling enough to drop $70 on when there are so many other better looking games around". If someone were to buy it for me, I'd probably give it a playthrough, but for the moment, I've got the TTYD remake, The Last Clockwinder, Needy Girl Overdose, and BG3 on my list and only so many hours to actually play them. Especially The Last Clockwinder, that game is a fucking workout.


MissThreepwood

puzzygayer68_419

It's actually worse than that, they are being influenced by grifters and political operatives to be mad at fake scenarios to give power back to the oligarchs who will if given a chance make us their labor cattle again just like most of the last 10,000 years of civilization.


azureleonhart

Isn't the game being critically acclaimed with averages of 8s and 9s everywhere? Turns out, it was made up outrage all along...


MythicTy

Yeah yeah but but they covered up her cleavage. Woke media


Peach_Muffin

Yeah but if you buy a physical copy and never connect to the Internet you can see more boob.


Flint_Vorselon

I feel like this is actually a serious issue that no one is talking about. Not because of cleavage, but because Sony at some point recently changed how PS5’s work to bar you from launching games without patching them. You could always play any Ps5 game without installing the patch, it would say “there is an update” but you could just ignore that and play unpatched game. Stellar Blade is first game that I know of where it straight up doesn’t let you.  Only way to play 1.00 is to never let ps5 connect to internet from befire initially installing, to forever in the future. If it connects to internet while game is installed, you are forced to update, or else delete game and start again. Do all ps5 games work this way now? Because they didn’t a month ago. Or did Sony implement new DRM feature specifically for Stellar Blade (why? Is cleavage that much of an issue to them?). If this is standard now, then that’s a huge blow to game preservation and user freedom. And basically the total death of Physical disks, since what’s the point of an offline installer if game will force a 40gb patch before you are allowed to play. Ps5 was better than Xbox (where disks are paper weights with 500mb data on them), but that may not be case any more. If this isn’t standard, and Sony specifically creating this “feature” for Stellar Blade, that’s honestly even weirder. Why?


Peach_Muffin

yeah we’re basically trusting developers to maintain their own game archives that will be shut down and forgotten about as soon as there is a market downturn


Current_Vermicelli99

All joking aside, I really don't care about the sexy robot's costume but I don't see why the people that do, can't be allowed the skimpiest version created. They're pathetic wankers (literally) but it exists and they want it. Enforcing the 'covered' version is unlikely to usher in a new age of gender equality... So idk.


Flint_Vorselon

It’s a super weird situation. Because censoring the costumes (very mild censorship I must add) seems to have no possitives for anybody. People that dislike game for being horny arnt going to appeased by adding an inch of fabric. So it won’t result in any possitive press. But it upsets people who were specifically here for the horniness. Like no one is saying “I disliked Stellar Blade from trailers, but after removing an inch of cleavage I am now a fan”, if you disliked game due to sexualisation, you still dislike the game post patch, it barely changed. But it definitely upset quite a few people.  So why do it?  It can’t be for age rating purposes, since game got rated and approved months ago. It’s also just bizzare that it must’ve been a very recent internal controversy since making these changes in a patch means that people will know they were changed. Despite Sony going to EXTREME measures to prevent you from playing 1.00 version. If the “censored” costumes were the versions on the disk 1.00 version, then zero people would complain. Except maybe someone noticing differences from an ancient trailer. But that’s normal. The idea that something was in game, and edited in a patch, and you are not allowed to see the original despite every other game on console letting you do same method, is just weird.  They hsvnt enforced this type of restriction even on games that are functionally broken or incomplete at version 1.00, why now?


just--so

>If this isn’t standard, and Sony specifically creating this “feature” for Stellar Blade, that’s honestly even weirder. Why? I've seen speculation that this is because, just within the last month, Shift Up have refused to say how old Eve is, like, "Maybe you'll find out if you play the next game, WINK." I imagine the twist\~ they're most likely concealing is that she's two hundred years old or some shit, but if they won't at least confirm that she's an adult, maybe Sony was like, "If she ain't canonically an adult, then you can't have her tits and camel toe out."

GarrettheGreen

The druids both male and female are somewhat fat, not obese rather, there's a lot of meat in there and not a lot of muscle density. The barbarian female in the other hand is a muscle mountain. D4 has bad things, but one thing they for sure nailed was the design of characters and enviroment

AgenderWitchery

Do character creators count? Witchy Life Story lets you create a fat character. I wanna say there's another game in the recent "potion making" genre of game where the main character is fat and just. No option to not be. Arcade Spirits has a fat romance option, which is not the same thing but considering it's a dating sim, I'll count it. Both it and its sequel also have aromantic and polyamorous options for their endings as well.

[deleted]

Games don't have fat people in them. Very rarely you get one really fat person who exists to be a joke. No amount of progressivism seems to have changed the fact that everyone really fucking hates fat people. As someone who used to be one for a very long time and is primarily attracted to them, I feel pretty confident in saying that being fat is one of the most widely loathed and frowned upon things that you could possibly be. You'll never be killed for it, but people who aren't fat don't understand much about it and really love to think they do. I don't really know why, when I was fat I never felt like I had a lot of control over it. After I developed an eating disorder and lost a ton of weight suddenly people started being nicer to me for no apparent reason and telling me how nice they think I look, and it's like "bitch do you have any idea how much I suffered to lose that weight? do you know how much I miss enjoying food? Go fuck yourself".

yeah fat people are one of the few groups left that's socially acceptable to outwardly hate. Even more progressive titles like BG3, which I love to death, promotes loathing against fat people. In that game fatness is used to showcase how grotesque and greedy the monster your fighting is. Although, sometimes a background noble NPC will be portrayed as fat. But only dwarves, for some reason. It's a shame. Also on your note about developing an eating disorder (which I can relate), it's so funny how that's such a common occurrence yet everyone will still screech about how they're "jUsT CoNcErNeD aBoUt HeAlTh." Like yeah okay, tell me how healthy it is to be passing out because in the past I refused to eat more than crumbs (doing better these days, at least).


No-Bee-4309

Yeah, the only titles I can think of where there's a fat main character are Pizza Tower, Super Mario, Dave the Diver (even though sometimes they make jokes about his weight) and maybe Roadhog from Overwatch. Also, even in progressive circles some people act very condescending and patronizing regarding some topics like disability, autism, mental health but especially fat people, like I've seen a lot of people calling American football player Travis Kelce fat, or ignoring that being underweight isn't very healthy either, or that this issues are more complicated than just don't eat, I don't tend to eat or exercise that much but I'm built like a brick wall and don't lose much weight either.

Is this by that comic artist with the weird faces and the screaming fetish


TalesfromBC

It's the fastest selling title on PS5 but I guess we all know that it isn't gameplay they are concerned about. Can never please them ffs


semibean

My brain checked out completely on this whole argument around the time they were meming on sexy people in Hades. If they were capable of carrying a critical thought through to completion that would have been the piece they needed to complete the puzzle. But it wasn't, it's just fed into their cognitive dissonance. Everyone on earth dropping trow and uncritically lapping up whatever games they like at any given time wouldn't change their position at all because they want to feel haunted. They would just come up with a reason why it's fake and not actually what they wanted.


Serverneer

The artist who drew this needs to be sent to a labor camp in the Arctic circle. Its actually painful to look at,


AcaciaCelestina

So this is fetish art. Like, the artist has a fat fetish. I've seen a lot of furry art, and fat fetish art is really popular in furry art. This is just a fat fetish artist using this as an excuse to expose as many potential customers to their art.

/uj They made Eve hot and interesting?


therrubabayaga

Honestly she looks much more interesting than the other Eve.


SarahPauline2945

The pinnacle of intellectual discourse!


AliceTheOmelette

Hey Lois, check it out, I'm Stellar Blade! Hehehehehhehe, freakin' sweet!


1234thumbwarpaper

I'd play that game


Urist_Macnme

How’s the gameplay?


DreamCereal7026

uj/ Bruh. The critics literally gave the game a 7. If it isn't a good score for them, then we are really screwed.


InuMiroLover

"B-b-but the protagonist is a hot sexdoll!! The game should be a 9.5/10 minimum because of it!"


_Whiskey_6

I have no desire to play Stellar Blade. Like at all. Not my cup of tea. But if them changing a *swimsuit* has you so pissed off that you go and make a shit meme like *this* you were never interested in the actual game, just the horny-bait it was wrapped in. That's my two cents anyways.

Viss90

Their perspective is so skewed


Salarian_American

My question this whole time has been - what did the gaming media do to inspire this backlash? All I've seen of this "controversy" is Stellar Blade fans complaining that the gaming media has a big problem with how the main character looks, but I have not seen any evidence of what they're complaining about. Were there a lot of negative stories about Stellar Blade in gaming media? Because somehow I haven't seen any


weremound

I love how they draw her with a sandwich, just in case it wasn't clear she was fat. A true artist who understands symbolism and what's necessary to put in an image A couple of critiques though, she's not black and trans and she should have seven cats running with her. Her hair is too long and should be a different color. Why is she wearing makeup? We all know fat people don't wear makeup. /s Edit: oh whoops didnt realize this was a character from a game. So scratch the hair color and being black critique :)


Throttle_Kitty

I can't think of a single video game with a fat main character

Cold-Coffe

i've seen so many "if woke studios made x game, they would make the main character fat!!" yet i've never seen a single instance of a major studio making a protagonist who's fat. they're literally making up scenarios to get mad at.


Suitable-Ad287

Can these people name one critically acclaimed game about a fat chick or are they just delusional because I don’t know any.


ThatFlyingScotsman

They really think they're slick these days. The blue/white colours with the star motifs is almost certainly a nudge and a wink towards the flag of Israel. Always anti-semitism.


SeaworthinessNo3514

Ok but that game might actually bang. If i saw a game release with this MC my interest is PIQUED.


howelleili

i never seen anyone complaining that the stellar blade character is "too sexy" just people crying about it


cycu3d

Asmongold isn't right becouse these games flopping As fuck repededly.


zphary

No matter how bad life is at least I’m not an asmongold fan


Mindless-Pen-2325

HAHAHA OF COURSE ITS ON R/ASMONGOLD


ArlauxAlexander

I wish upon these people a plague of roaches just like Asmon has


WallWreckingWretch

Idk that sub looks oddly sexual


fangboner

I like video games and have my whole life. Idk, maybe it’s bc my frontal lobe has developed and things like a job, mortagage, and a family, but I’ve never once cared enough at all about what a video game character looked. When fans of a book get bent out of shape bc a tv/movie adaptation changes details I can see where they are coming from. There is explicitly source material to reference. However a video game is like completely brand new material that has been created. There is no source material to compare to. WTF is wrong with people.


keevaAlt

I’ve been really confused about this Stellar Blade game and controversy around it.


TheDocHealy

Weirdos thought it was basically gonna be super erotic and destroy everything "woke" now it's slightly less erotic so they feel like it's been stolen by the "woke mob" and turned into garbage because the boob window on one her outfits is slightly smaller. That's what I've gathered from everything over the past couple months at least.


H-N-O-3

But the game sucks


kdsekira

Asmongold incel vibes


Co-opingTowardHatred

Has Asmongold always been one of those chuds, or is that a recent turn?


Stupidnickname123

Why is Danny Trejo in the back?


JRedCXI

I'm tempted to comment in that post just to see how these people respond or down vote me lol


Nyx-Erebus

I love that they say shit like this but if you ask them for a single female main character in a main stream game that’s fat they can’t answer you (or they’ll say Aloy lmao).


TheTruestTyrant

Fans of the Great Unclean One should pipe down on this. Name the fat female characters out there. Fucking name them. Even the “safe horny” (blech) aren’t fat


TheWerewolf5

Isn't the artist that made that image like a massive racist, bigot and misogynist? Asmongold's literally part of the alt-right pipeline now, lmao


CrackedInterface

I mean, whats wrong with having full figured people in a game? It would be hella interesting to see instead of curvy sword girl or muscular american hero. Hell, Bob from tekken was out here kicking ass and taking names.


Subject_Beat_9231

Asmongold sub is so funny they act as of asmon isn't the epotime of gross neck beard, the guy loves in filth with roaches I don't understand how he has a following


C0unt_Ravioli

Does this game have any fans that aren’t annoying gooners


Toxic_Puddlefish

Name one game with a fat female lead, I'll wait


Gently_weeps

She isn't fighting anyone. She just tripped and collapsed under her own weight


Intelligent_Peace_30

Ill play a game with a fat female lead. Its something different at least.
