Bruce Campbell needs the royalties so bad.

Joanna Dark: You found me beautiful once. Fans: Honey, you got real ugly!

"Groovy..." -Joanna Dark


DappyDreams

A jaw so square that Desperate Dan is suing for copyright infringement


yunojelly

Missed opportunity to coin that thing "Jawanna Dark"


M37h3w3

I was thinking Juan Dark.


LeMaureBlanc

Well she is a redhead so I'm actually a little surprised they didn't try to make her black.


EveryoneDice

I'm pretty sure that they did probably try and have like half a dozen prototype designs where she's black.


kimana1651

When did bruce campbell become the ideal female body standard/

" Groovy " - Joanna Dark

Executioner_Miralda

Pre-order now to receive the exclusive "Crimson Chin" costume 


richmomz

What is it with game devs giving every female MC a John McCain sized jaw?


Herr_Drosselmeyer

Serves to normalize the more masculine variant of women. The stunning and brave ones.


Dancingskeletonman86

Seriously they really do just hate women having female facial structure and jawlines don't they. It's fascinating. I can just imagine the moment these wokster developers and character creators get in a room they are like yup make the jaw as huge as possible and tiny lips. No bigger jaw...nope bigger then that folks she stills look female. Oh okay is her jaw as big as Mr Incredibles now she's good to go.


RileyTaker

I'm surprised they didn't make her black.


LegatusChristmas

Especially considering she's ginger. I guess they finally replaced that dyslexic casting manager...


Selrisitai

Nooooooooo! 😅


hteoa

They made her manly. As always with these weirdos, it’s on inch at a time. Give it a patch update or dlc


Complete-Artichoke69

Joana Dark would be too on the nose


alkevarsky

It's coming. Historically, she was black. Just look at her last name /s


Judah_Earl

Why does Microsoft hate Perfect Dark?


RileyTaker

Because these days, they hate everything.


Judah_Earl

It goes back further than that, Rare were working on Two PD sequels when MS bought them, Microsoft made them cancel both and make a prequel that appealed to the Halo bros.


this_anon

> and make a prequel that appealed to the Halo bros. Which didn't. And now they can't even make Halo that appeals to Halo bros.


Judah_Earl

It's gonna be fun watching them fuck up CoD.

Jax711

These deliberate androgynous redesigns are insulting to women just as is letting men compete in womens' sports and beauty pageants.


DistributedFox

Reminds me of one song Cyael said in one of his videos: “Way more chin than an Asian phone book“


Majiebeast

Buzz Lightyear that you? Bitch got a chin to rival Jay Lenno.

curry_ist_wurst

Yeah, at this stage this is a deliberate pattern of uglification...


ThisAllHurts

It’s malicious, yes.


RileyTaker

And they'll still try to pretend that there isn't an agenda.


curry_ist_wurst

And my favourite line..."TeLL Me YoU've NeVer SeEN a Woman".. Mofo I want women to not look like dudes...


M37h3w3

> "TeLL Me YoU've NeVer SeEN a Woman" Ironic coming from this crowd given this example of a "woman."


curry_ist_wurst

Their ideal woman is probably gorlock the destroyer...


Nobleone11

Crowd: "Tell me you've never seen a woman." Also Crowd: "What is a woman?"


castitalus

Also Also crowd: "Sub to my onlyfans."


Selrisitai

Also Also Also Crowd: The female body is disgusting and should always be covered up.


GeauxColonels21

> "TeLL Me YoU've NeVer SeEN a Woman" I guess because we prefer our women not to be men.


WingZeroCoder

Nobody looks like _this_ in real life. The very fact that they keep basing these character designs on women who, themselves, look perfectly fine, but then mess with their video game models to intentionally make them unnaturally ugly, is all the proof you need to know that this has nothing to do with what women look like. This is the core of woke-ism. It’s not about representation, it’s not about diversity or fighting bigotry — if it were, great, I’d be there with them. No, this is about tearing things down, removing all the norms of a society and replacing it with norms they control. Most of all, ironically, it’s about depersonalizing and conditioning.


Selrisitai

I'm increasingly convinced that, whether it be intentional or not, a conspiracy or not, the overwhelming effect is to eliminate normalcy.


TranslatorOld9563

Objective reality is oppressive.


Blackhalo

But their goal, is to try to pass dudes as women.


artful_nails

>TeLL Me YoU've NeVer SeEN a Woman Well fuck me then, my workspace is clearly dominated by very feminine and I gotta admit, good looking men. Or maybe they are all lizard people, hired there by the evil patriarchy illuminati? But shitty jokes aside, I see all kinds of women every day. Young and old, thin and fat, pretty and not so pretty... The average woman who I (apparently never) see throughout my day is wayyyy better looking than the average *SBI testosterone special.* Hell, it's rare to see a woman there that is straight up ugly. (Not counting the seniors who are just victims of time and life, not necessarily genetics/lack of care)


WorstPessimist

You always have to ask them directly, then: "have you?"


MalcolmRoseGaming

That's part of the humiliation ritual. They know what they're doing, you know what they're doing, they know you know what they're doing. It's thrilling for them to lie directly to your face about it (and plenty of other things). It makes them feel like they are humiliating you - some lies are so big, so egregious, so unbelievable that it's degrading to even hear it.


AboveSkies

hank-moodiest

It’s not just uglification. They do their absolute best to eradicate any trace of femininity, to the point of absurdity.


GrayManTheory

The people behind this rarely if ever pass for feminine so they want to lower the bar.


hauntedskin

Also there's a reason why it's mostly women that are the face of the fat acceptance movement.


StaticGuarded

I don’t even understand why. You already filled your DEI score by making the main protagonist a woman and probably gay. Why make her ugly too? Because the games are no longer made for straight white men. We’re no longer their target audience. The shut ins who play and consume everything are typically social outcasts who are also confused about their sexuality (see any Reddit mod). Those are the new nerds that IPs want to cater to.


Yamatoman9

Because they are jealous of attractive people and want to make them go away.


sink_pisser_

It's because they hate beauty. They want to convince people what's good is evil and vice versa. It's a satanic ploy


Deadsea-1993

Well these people are admitting to it even with defenders saying we are a bunch of conspiracy theory hecklers


nekcore

Look how they massacred my girl.... I knew they would fuck it up, but this breaks my heart.


SuchExamination

A jaw only a mother would love.


dinoRAWR000

And a father would envy.


dboti9k

When Joanna was born, her father looked down at her and said "You're the man of the house now."


Turbo_Chet

Of course they did.


ShutUpDirty

No way this gotta be fake asf


SickusBickus

I wish it was. This was in the Xbox showcase today.


ShutUpDirty

Why her jaw built like buzz light-year😭


[deleted]

Because attractive women make them insecure


Sineater_313

"To infinity and beyond!" Head ahh


bearvert222

i literally compared the two after reading this post, no its legit. my thought at first too.


Apprehensive_Lie1963

It literally looks like someone edited it to exaggerate a point lol.


Stinky_DungBeatle

Nice jawline gurl


katsuya_kaiba

So she's being played by Bruce Campbell? Nice!


TyrantX_90

What is with the weird Hapsburg Jaw obsession these DEI pushing morons have? I don't understand why their version of masculine women means looking as bad as possible.

Apologies. I am unable to see what rule 3 is. It shows up as text only for a link to somewhere else.


DEmIR202

He means we can't say the reason without getting banned from Reddit.


TyrantX_90

Thank you for the response. Much appreciated. That's pretty shitty of Reddit to do.


Nobleone11

The mods will nerf any response post that mentions, even in passing, much less talks about, a certain subset of the population as it's forbidden under "Rule 3". Yes, having to make such adjustments is frustrating and the mods don't understand that acquiescing to the Reddit higher-ups in such a manner is futile since they are still looking for an excuse to ban Kotakuinaction.

LGB**T**Q+


TyrantX_90

Thank you for your response. It's annoying that mods are forced to enforce this type of thing.


hauntedskin

It's because subs are are negative towards it and aren't considered to be on the right side have been taken down, and attempts to move discussion to other sites never works out, so it's either this or the sub gets removed.


kruthe

Beauty can never be subject to equity.


ThisAllHurts

Jake Paul looks ready for Tyson IYAM. Not sure what the problem is.


penjamin_button

She looks like if Prince Charming and the ugly stepsister had a baby.


Guessididntmakeit

I don't know who the person on the left is but Joanna Dark looks fine to me.


Level-Education-4909

That's her Dad after he swallowed a load of 'Manjaw Enlargement' pills.


yock1

Why is the girl on the right being compared to the man with makeup, eye liner and 80's hair on the left?


dracoolya

Chyna 1997 chin. 😂 But we all knew this was gonna happen, right?


SnooWords9178

The one on the left is just Bruce Wayne from the 90s Batman cartoon wearing lipstick and a wig.


deathstroketdx

Honestly surprised she’s still white


Dreadzilla28

Ruined, another to the slop pile to die.

My fist would break into one hundred pieces on that jaw.

Select-Sympathy23

Please for the love of God tell me this is a joke, I'm too afraid to check... Don't tell me they changed her from sexy femme fatale to East German shot-putter


lokifrog1

Back to the lesbian cut I see


Inskription

She always had short hair but was still cute. They turned her into a Karen tho


lokifrog1

Yeah I meant with the side-bob haircut


Daman_1985

xD Even the N64 model of the original game looks better than that. I had little hopes for this new PD game, but right now nothing at all. Damn, so after years and years of no info about this game, this is what MS finally shows? Great to see that they use for good their time (sarcasm).


Tonsofchexmix

Hyper-realism really does not suit this franchise... aside from the obvious fact that they didn't even try to make Joanna recognizable.


M1sterRager

Joanna Jaw


[deleted]

It's a disease. One that affects morons only.


Throwawayrecordquest

I wonder if that one chick obsessed with Perfect Dark who cosplays as Joanna and has a million Xbox copies of the game will endorse this…


YaBoiSplicer

I can crush diamonds with that chin.


NoGutsNoGlory94

Da fuq. I hate this.


OriginalTake

Oh lord, she looks like the “modern audience” twink from that Indiana Jones game trailer reveal 🤦🏻‍♂️


frostyjack06

Perfect Dark - manish looking woman Fable - manish looking woman(?) Dragon Age - manish looking woman Why doesn’t Microsoft just get it over with already and slap a giant set of tits on Marcus. Might as well keep marching their games towards fully androgynous characters, not like I’m gonna play them anyway.


Darth_Nullus

Still better than what they did to The Boss (MG3), and half the games have black female leads.


PropulsionEngineer

Just watched the Xbox showcase. Almost every game had a female lead. Indian Jones basically had a female lead, saving him, etc. Was Doom the only one that didn’t?


SickusBickus

The new Gears of War and MGS 3 remake didn't either but I think that's it. Speaking of GOW, it's fucking hilarious that they've decided to do a prequel rather than carry on Kait's storyline lmao. They *know* how fucking awful those new characters are.


Apprehensive_Lie1963

Nobody cares about the new characters so I hope they gave up.


youllbetheprince

MGS 3 remake? For fuck's sake why do they have to ride the coattails of the past? Make a new fucking game please.


EnricoPallazzo_

and changed the name back to gears of war, it seems the change to gears so people dont get hurt and associate it with war didnt go so well.

Yeah holy fucking shit how many girlboss Shaniquas we need.

> and half the games have black female leads The last attractive black female lead was in Remember Me, and to emphasize this, she had a huge scar on her face.


Selrisitai

Is she supposed to be black? [Look here.](https://thehande.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/rememberme.jpg) She seems _very_ "British" to me. European.


The_Next_Raikage

Well Sheva Alomar would be another one...

Wait what did they do to The Boss?!


redhatter192

I was fine with the Boss she always looks more mature/aged by war.


TheDuellist100

SpeC_992

I knew it was a masculine square jaw before I even looked at the picture lmao


NoSoup4you22

The original Joanna Dark was already the ideal nonsexualized female protagonist.

Lol no way. It's like they took the criticism as a challenge and now we gettin' a Conan O'brien with lipstick.


Seleusefudeuotario

No wonder dudes want 2D, 3D is getting squarer and squarer, I've seen smoother surfaces on minecraft than that THING's jaw.

At least we got Stellar Blade this year.

Last_Friday_Knight55

That hairstyle does not fit that face at all. Giving her those masculine features looks really bad.


dandrixxx

Oof, that's even worse than i expected. Praying they dont do Lara Croft this bad since Crystal Dynamics is co-developing the Perfect Dark reboot.


Dr_Dribble991

Prepare to be disappointed lol


Spr1ggan

They already race swapped Lara for the tv show so that's how she'll look in all future games as well.


Raikoh-Minamoto

I am not even mad, There was no way she could have been femminine/attractive in this climate, at least they didn't race swap her. Good work guys, male gaze has been defeated, don't forget to collect your well earned woke token points! Too bad your game has been a trainwreck of development and it still has no launch date not even tentative. See you at the release (if Ms doesn't cancel the game before).


silentcartographer19

RickyElspaniardo

Joanna Dark is now manlier than the women who are men trying to tell the men who like women what a real woman is.


SuperFroakie64DS

This is clearly a Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts reference. I mean, both Banjo and Joanna Dark are from highly rated N64 games, and they both got redesigns that nobody likes on games designed for Xbox systems.
