I have no idea what this game is but the person on the left looks like someone who's been in battle and is still in some sort of a battle and the person on the right looks like an influencer cosplaying the person on the left

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
She is fighting some battles.
I keep suggesting this game to people. The story is pretty short, mechanics straight forward and game play very linear. But it is a ride. Do not read about it; no reviews, no strategies. Put on some good surround sound headphones, turn out the lights, and let the game carry you away.
One of the few games I've finished then immediately restarted.

What I think is funny is the character they're referring to isn't unattractive. I'd wager she's significantly more attractive than any of the guys commenting there.
So they took a perfectly fine character model, with a look that fits the tone and setting of the game, with a realistic face.... and somehow thinks it's an improvement to make her look like she sells bathwater to losers to fund her MAC cosmetics addiction.
Imagine being so pathetic you can't handle a woman with a good battle cry.
They hate women, so yeah. it fits
with a ton of that crowd, they really have no idea what strength is. but they so badly want to appear strong, as they assume that will make others around them think they actually are strong.
it's a sort of projection. they're weak, so they worry that others will perceive them as weak. it locks them into a constant obsession with appearing strong, so people won't realize how weak they are.
the fallacy in all that is assuming that other people care, most don't, as most are locked into their own various insecurities and are usually worried about how they appear to the world.
real strength, and other qualities, isn't worried about what others think. it's like being cool. you're not cool if you have to go around and tell others how cool you are. if you're cool, others will recognize that pretty quickly. if you're not cool, no amount of faking it will ever make others think you are.

So ... is someone ugly because of some dirt? Do people see only colours & not shapes?
Not to mention they are basically calling Melina Juergens ugly :D
If only they'd actually played the game. She's basically going through hell, makeup and hygiene are the least of her worries.
I was gonna say; isnt it basically a game about shit that should be ugly?
Fuck, let's go find+replace every not-completely-gorgeous dude in film with like four near identical impossibly good looking photo shopped models. Make the dean of A/C repair in 'community' just beautiful and jacked and expressionless because he just shot up ten gallons of botox.
Also, what's a fun ethnicity... The chad meme is a Turkish dude right? Let's just make all guys in film Turkish or, since we need two... Japanese? Brazilian? Doesn't matter, just pick two and no more white dudes. "Including" white people would be woke dei bullshit, let's not compromise our standards just to include people, and why shouldn't kratos be hot?

...Senua's story is not pretty. Senua's journey through what she perceives as a land of evil, magic and ruin is not pretty. She is not an airbrushed model. She is meant to be a picture of a person. Someone battling what she believes to be true, horrifying monsters while striving in grief to achieve something to ease her pain. Screaming to deities to aid her.
Calling her that is disgusting. Retouching her face to look 'correct' is both missing the point and spitting on art.
It’s also spitting on women as a whole for being considered a human instead of an object or mere concept that is only supposed to exist for an incel’s peen feels.
The original looks like it might be from an interesting game. The edit looks like it is from a shit game that is trying to sell a wank to losers.
Another rightist account where you'd have to do proper research to know if it is satire or genuine.
Senua doesn't look like a model, but she's far from being ugly. I agree with your point
how to not be ugly:
-
don't be exhausted
-
don't have any dirt on you
-
always have photo studio lighting on you regardless of what environment you're in
-
look at the narcissistic viewer rather than your objective
-
Have "fuck me" face on at all times.
-
Be naked and dtf or else they'll reee
how not to be ugly:
- smile, even when engaging in war, never stop smiling, it makes you look ugly otherwise.
- take care of your skin, even when your leg is decrepit and necrotic. It makes you look ugly.
- don't get wet, it makes you look ugly.
- shower regularly. It makes you look not ugly.
- take care of your skin, you wouldn't want to look ugly.
- looking ugly makes you look ugly, just don't look ugly.

Not familiar with the game in question, but the photo on the left is not ugly. That's angry. Common misconception.
Meanwhile the picture on the right looks like a college student fell onto some war paint and Instagram filters. That's immersion breaking if this is supposed to be a crying/screaming/angry scene by a battle-hardened warrior, IMO.
The one on the right looks like horrible cosplay.

Senua. Of all the video game characters they had to cry about Senua being not sexy enough.
I would think of this as some kind of joke. But sadly I know better. Pathetic.

I wish I were ugly and gay so that I could be woke. Instead I'm just ugly.
Wait, what? The character is actually pretty striking looking, in a good looking (see: attractive) way.
Yeah, and that edit removes all of the feeling she's going through with the psychosis. The actress did such a great job with the first game, that edited face would not have fit what she was going through and did such an excellent job portraying in her acting.
Women are supposed to cry pretty, doncha know.
Women experiencing psychosis due to the death of their husbands should smile more.
how dare woman show emotion! woman should be purty all the time!
Angry women?
✋
Too political for me.
Anyone else remember them noticing Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West had tiny hairs on her face? Apparently that meant she was trans. Sorry for not waxing in a robot dinosaur apocalypse, lads.

Is this the same person who was upset that Aloy has facial hair?
The same people who claim Stellar Blade's Eve is peak design because she's "based on an actual model!", also continuously rag on Aloy while forgetting Aloy was also based on an actual model.

If only gaming companies listened to the fans and made all the women characters look like Gerardo de Rivera we wouldn't be having this conversation every time a new game is released 😔

Meanwhile, men in video games have looked like this for decades:
Men don't constantly need to be fuckable.
Also, I can't help notice how much Master Chief cribs his style from Samus Aran
So the studio behind Senua's Sacrifice made a mocap headset that is like the iPhone face ID on steroids. The character on the left is the most realistic copy of the WOMAN who voices Senua in the game.
Be gay, make ugly. ✊
Damn right, I agree with them so much, every character is so ugly. Someone needs for run Doom guy through a KPop filter and get some pretty boys back into games, none of these ugly men.

These guys have clearly never been breathing so hard you breathe through your teeth. High school me in cross-country could feel that picture on the left.
Go take your mute fuckdoll to your room and leave the grownups alone
