I wish there were more beautiful boys in games πŸ˜”

The default male protagonist is always that masculine look. I want a twink protagonist. I want a femboy.

i watched several hours of that game before understanding he wasn't designed as a girl

True, but it's a gacha game.

I tried running a server emulator for it, but I couldn't get logged in.

Women in Japan literally complained to Konami over Solid Snake being too gruff and not bishonen enough so Raiden was made.

Hideo Wokjima caved in to the feminists? The east has fallen. Billions must be sarin gassed

Many Japanese dudes don't seem to care for ossans too much either

And then he was a whiny loser

Hey I stan whiny Raiden in MGS 2 and his drama with his gf

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

I know, that's why I think it's funny that his background is so fuckin' intense

Child soldier, raised on VR to replace Solid Snake, turned into a cyborg against his will

It's funny how a commentary about whiny you-hear-about-video-games's became everyone's favorite character

is it so much to ask for a chainmail bikini on a guy for once?

Japanese games make male characters too pretty, western games make female characters too ugly, I think I just am a fundamentally unhappy person who is compelled to complain about shit

Synthesis: every game character should be androgynously hot

Why do they talk about what women are attracted to as if they don’t hate them for not being attracted to them for not being 12/10 models?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

ngl it is pretty fucked up that even after 13 years of modding ecosystem development it is still extremely difficult (unless you replace the head mesh entirely) to make pretty boy characters and custom NPCs in Skyrim

Twink rights!

Ngl, this is lowkey the reason I still play Oblivion, can make all sorts of bodytypes there with some small modding ability.

10/10 troll but also yes, more pretty guys.

It's really funny that reactionaries don't have a theory of mind.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I just realized I make all my characters look freakish and generally unpleasant to look at, especially in online games.

like beady-rat eyes, busted skin, cro-mag brow. in ark I made the eyes tiny and as wide set as possible. short and squat, paunchy, neckless.

it's always some combination of like derelict missing link meets yikes.

the payoff is like cut scenes and shit, because there's a generally a subtle implication in those scenes that the player character is sexy/attractive/desirable and it clashes hard with my bipedal disaster to add unintentional amusement.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Same. If a a game gives me a slider to adjust any part of my character's appearance I will treat it like an on/off button. It will end up all the way to the left or all the way to the right.

Lower jaw forward/back is not a spectrum. It is a binary.

Imagining Twink Dutch telling Twink Arthur they're going to Tahiti to have fun island adventures

Mobius Final Fantasy's censored prettyboy protagonist flashbacks.
G*mers can't stand to see a femboy winning.

Would really love to know the gender of the tweetbacker

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I love it when men tell women what women find attractive/s

Do these guys know why boy bands and bishonen are popular?

HAVE THEY NOT SEEN HOW GIRLS REACT TO LINK?!?

Personally I'm not into meatheads or twinks. I like somewhere inbetween. Even then looks aren't really a priority for me, if a dude genuine and shares my beliefs that's the most important thing for me.

Give me a scruffy couchguy communist that wants to hang out and hug
