    No one knows. I honestly can’t believe the original post isn’t intended to point out the absurdity of these anti-DEI assholes.

    The “fixed” version also looks transmasc, not that that’s a bad thing, just ironic if the post wasn’t intended to be a caricature.

      I’m 95% sure it’s satire, like it’s making fun of those guys that edit pictures of female characters because they’re upset when their video game has women who look like actual people.

        Yeah, I think it’s satire, likely referencing that infamous post where someone “fixed” Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn:

          I mean, I don’t find the one on the left attractive or anything (she’s not unattractive or ugly either), but she also doesn’t have to be. She looks like a person and I can focus on what the game is trying to tell or show me. Every female character doesn’t have to be a blow-up doll or something.

          Also, the one on the right looks bad. That face doesn’t fit at all. People are weird.

            Exactly. But alas, the incel brain can’t comprehend that women, be they fictional or real, are people and not sex objects.

              Seriously. I don’t mind attractive characters, but they’re not essential. Also, if you want attractive or sexual, go find some porn and sort yourself out. Or some adult game if it has to be a game.

            I do think the one on the left looks a bit ugly, or maybe “below average” is a better way to phrase it; but why would that be a problem?

            Like, your main character can look kinda meh and that OK she doesn’t need to be good-looking.

      yes it is intended to point out the absurdity of anti-DEI, though its mostly intended to point out the absurdity of people thinking its woke to have real-looking people

      also what does it mean to look transmasc
