    Don’t let the incels see this. They’ll never let you hear the end of their “man-jaw” accusations.

      I was hoping I could post this without someone making it about the toxic bullshit that some people can’t help but start up when it comes to Aloys appearance, but here you are.

          The topic itself is poison, and didn’t need bringing up.

          Cool games are cool games, and cool art is cool art.

              I was like you once, and still find myself getting baited into rage-commenting.

              You perpetuate the things you hate by being unable to let go. This post wasn’t about incels but you just had to bring them up, souring the mood. Worst part is that it wasn’t even a good joke. We’re talking low hanging fruit to the point of picking up rotten fruit off the jungle floor.

              Hatred is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting someone else to die. Treat yourself better.

                Wow. What an arrogant thing to comment.

                Next time, if you want people to read what you write, don’t start with “I was like you once” to an absolute stranger.

                  If you worry about people reflecting critically on your behavior, maybe don’t display it then lol

              Those same incels use the same excuse for misogynist hate. Don’t act like it being a joke absolves it of all consequences

                The consequence of… making fun of incels and mentioning a topic that was on OP’s mind anyways?

                    They wrote

                    which implies that they were already thinking about it.

              No.

              But I can still tell you off for souring my mood by making one in bad taste.

                  I’m aware that some people get weird about how she looks. That in itself isn’t a problem. I just ignore that shit.

                  That’s not an option when someone makes a snarky comment about it on my post, in a community I moderate.

                  Or it was, ignoring it would have involved removing your comment and being done with it. But I’ve seen you around on Lemmy and decided you’re worth giving the benefit of the doubt.

                  Was I wrong?

                    Good for you that you don’t abuse your power as a moderator, I guess.

                    Was I wrong?

                    Umm… is that a rethorical question? I’m not used to this… dramatic way of speaking on the internet.

      I hate that people make this Horizon’s legacy. It’s a great game, and I loved playing through it, it’s one of the very very few games I played through twice.

      But apparently we can’t just appreciate some honestly pretty wicked concept art without turning it into the “Culture War™”.

      I’ve only just started Forbidden West and I’m enjoying it so far, but it’s really off-putting that the main discord I hear is left-wingers complaining about incels complaining about Aloy’s face. Is there genuinely nothing more noteworthy about the game?
