It just doesn't make sense for people to be so triggered by a game like Stellar Blade.

Its a stylistic choice in a piece of fictional media. You have to be a damn moron to believe women should look like that IRL. Oh wait...some do and thats why theyre bitter virgins.

Probably need to address it on social media first. That place is a hellscape for making women feel bad about their bodies. At least video games dont pretend to be actual real life.

Yeah, but most women don't look like that. Hence unreasonable, and not unrealistic.

Any man that would insist that real women need to have bodies like the MC of Stellar Blade are not actually interacting with any women (or probably people in general really) anyway. Women arent going to catch any grief from them unless theyre habitual 4chan users.

this reads like the guy is terminally online and the only interactions he has with other males are the incels who cry about all women in video games not being sex dolls and that it is the fault of "wokeness". they all need to get outside and touch grass.

A better way to put it is that is that incels don't actually understand what women like at all: https://datepsychology.com/women-dont-find-gigachad-attractive/

Studies keep showing that the "extremely muscular" trope isn't actually for "female eye candy" purposes, it's for guys who think that that's what women think is sexy/how they want to view themselves. Incels have just deluded themselves into thinking that women are ever given the perspective in any meaningful sense, as opposed to the reality that it's really all just "what do men think is hot."

Yeah, they don't seem to realize that a lot of straight women prefer men who are more handsome than muscular.

They certainly do things a lot more differently than GameFAQs moderators. I think they leave those posts up as a warning of what NOT to post there.
