I'm all for diversity in games, but even I have to acknowledge that sex and beauty sell. People are indeed that shallow and game developers would be foolish not to create attractive characters who are both externally and internally appealing. Sure, some games like Undertale have been able to do just fine without adhering to beauty standards, but not every game developer offers good writing, fun game mechanics, memorable music compositions. The last few years saw a variety of games featuring more diverse protagonists, though many haven't exactly been profitable as of late.

Right when it was first announced, Marvel Rivals has slowly been included into the forefront of the culture wars with the left lambasting it for its sexualized character designs and the right using it to bash games that are considered woke. I get that not many people here care about the so-called culture wars, but we're going to have to talk about it at some point since it contributed to the results of the 2024 US elections.

At the moment, Concord is being used as content fodder to further lambast Sweet Baby Inc and DEI for giving the gamers ugly character designs. Sure, a game can still be successful if it has atypical characters who don't fit the mold, but it has to provide some actual fun gameplay and compelling storyline to compensate as a result.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

For certain people, it's the other way around. They want to play as people who look and think exactly like them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but they have to acknowledge that what they want in a character won't always be appreciated or accepted by everyone else.

My problem with this thread is you are taking comments from a handful of people who got a handful of engagements on this months ago and presenting it as if this is a solid reflection of any specific demographic and not the cherry picked screenshots that present the story you want the thread to tell. It is the same issue I have with lazy journalism/articles that do nothing but show screenshots of random twitter posts from randos saying the most insane things.

Didn't they recently make the avatars slightly less vibrant and more androgynous to accommodate the avatar girth size changing feature?

Back when I was into anti-woke content, I would watch videos taking about how bad the left is and they would have articles and tweets to show that off.

One thing I noticed when I was getting out of it was that these representations of the left only had under 10 views and maybe 2 likes.

Looks like TC is doing the same thing.

It's a video game. Who cares about realism? If I want to play Tales of Symphonia and have all the characters in goofy swimsuits in the snow village while they debate the big villain on the horrors of genocide and war crimes, they should let me >_>

yep this mamo is the same shit the anti woke use and even back when instead of woke it was SJW and most of those fake drama was from some select few post and used as proof how crazy the left is as a whole and honestly i figured tc would start doing this crap but i didn't think they would this soon

To me everything about this is odd. But I am odd so it could be normal and I messed up mind could be seeing it as odd.

First thing first: Marvel is literally woke as hell. They have Powerful minorities and women. Stand Lee even in the 70s were like stop being racist assholes.

But gaming as a whole as someone who doesn't like all the super sexist out fit that are seen on some character just because they are so impractical. I do feel like they have made female characters not a pretty as they use to be. Even using super pretty models they make the characters ugly. Then people other people complaining about this alter the screen shots to make it look worse so that said looks even worse.

From a racial standpoint, it's technically woke. However, a number of feminist players find the abundance of sexy characters and lack of diverse body types outright disappointing. That being said, even they can't deny that the character designs are indeed appealing and not as lackluster as those made by US gaming companies. Plus, there's also some discussion concerning the Invisible Woman's Malice skin compared to the original material source.
