I think this is playing off another post where someone complained about a female character being "ugly" when she's a character in a game about mental illness and her fight for survival.

Yeah it's going to be ugly... That's the point. The actual person they modeled the character off of is actually very attractive. People are just absurd though... Why can't we have ugly characters? Why should you be sexually attracted to every character you see?

Also: I'm sick of baby teenager main characters like that second image lol

This reminded me that there's a mod on Nexus for Dying Light 2 that replaces the female character, who's not even a playable character, with a different model (that's also white instead of black), just because GaMeRs didnt find her attractive enough.

I'm guessing this is hellblade, but the same criticisms were fired at Horizon Forbidden west as well

It's fucking dumb.
