Gaming

Clearly only one bad thing exists, sorry my bad.

Who said only one topic was brought up?

point out every single flaw in a female characters design you are setting a beauty standard for what a woman should look like

If anyone is determining their self worth by comparing themselves to video game characters, they should probably seek out help, regardless of if it is Seuna or what's her name from Stellar Blade.

letting people keep bullying game studios into designing their characters that way just reinforces that image.

To be clear, I am against bullying game developers in either direction. Seuna fits well in her setting and I don't think anyone bullied them into her looks. Ciri is even better example of well made character overall.

I oppose things like Sony forcing censorship on Stellar Blade. I oppose DEI "consultancy firms" lobbying and even extorting game companies to make their characters uglier. Let game devs create their art as they see fit. And let gamers vote with their wallets on whether they like the games.

Most people including me did not complain about "ugly" characters in games until the above came to light. And since it is difficult to say which games are affected, there are innocent games caught in the crossfire.

it makes even less sense because male characters usually aren't held to the same standards. it's because gamers (mostly men themselves) don't care about male characters...

I mean, yes. You are correct that we care less about male characters. I don't follow why that would not make sense. Especially, since there was no push to make male characters uglier as far as I know.

because they're not trying to satisfy their sexual frustration through them.

the "art" as you call it is just gooning material for lonely men

Idk how to react to you fixation on how you imagine some gamers reach sexual gratification.

I guess I can only add that IRL I know two people who oppose this push for uglier game characters, and both are happily married.
