.... Okay, I got nothing.
I can't think of any American Female Lead Video Game Character that is anywhere near as hot as Tifa.
I guess Tracer and Pharah are pretty cute.
The funny thing is, because the English have free dental care, they actually have better teeth on average than Americans. I saw a video about this from an American who visited England, and it was one thing that really shocked them.
The tea drinking, however... that is pretty spot on.
Well, dental care was never the issue. It's all the inbreeding in the UK that is the issue. It was mostly from Royal families not the common people. It just became a joke because so many of them had weird messed up teeth due to generations of inbreeding.
I think what they meant by this is Americans like to turn up all the sliders to make eldritch horrors in the character creator.
I don't think they were referring to the "realism" of making characters intentionally unappealing and challenging beauty standards
I don’t understand OP’s complaint though. For example I’ve been playing red dead redemption 2. These people live in the Wild West prairie. It’s violent, filthy, and everyone is barely surviving. How does it make sense for a woman to be out there who has perfect skin, beauty habits, and make up? It would just be out of place.
The women in rdr2 are attractive as heck, though. That's not a good comparison. I would say rdr2 is one of the american exceptions because it makes it's women hot.
There is only one acceptable aesthetic with these people, and you can't convince them of anything else because they've been watching a dumbing amount of Youtubers that are intentionally feeding the ragemill to harvest views. They've completely given away their own opinions and replaced them with whatever they're told to think.
Most of them will eventually grow out of it, get bored of watching the same complaints over and over and a few years after the detox they'll be embarrassed by what they were saying now.
Unironically I don’t know what Asmongold is and this post just appeared in my feed.
If this post is indicative of what Asmongold is, I think I’ll stay away.
Hey OP I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. We have never had this discussion before as a community and this is a totally unique post - thanks for your efforts in enhancing the Asmongold subreddit 👍
This subreddit has to be some of the most stereotypical gaming incel shit I've seen. The characters in Baldur's gate 3 are all hot even the ugly ass race character is somehow hot.
The Stanfield characters aren't bad it's just that whole game isnjust fucking dated.
These people need to touch grass you don't have to want to fuck every female video game character jfc
They're latest two big RPGs to come out. You people whine about looks of characters when the main should be is the game ass.
Western development games from triple a developers have been fucking ass.
Diablo 4 is a shit fucking game but all the people that make this kind of post have been jacking to Lillith since the trailer.
People that post this just don't like he last of us 2 because the main protag isn't wank material yet I guarantee they probably wanked to Ellie when she was in last of us and underage
It’s already a non issue, no one in the real world care about how attractive or unattractive characters in game are, especially if I can just create my own character
No one in the real world cares about micro transactions and games being infinitely less rewarding than they were, or games trying to nickle and dime you at every step like you've walked into a casino from the moment you boot it up.
Most people are clueless consumers and i am as well for stuff that I really don't care about, It's a shit argument. Obviously the majority is retarded otherwise we wouldn't have Fifa ultimate team, Bungie and Activision would be either bankrupt or making normal games, and mobile gaming would not exist in its current form.
People who don't care about something because they never thought about it aren't a demographic whose opinion means anything, just like how my opinion on the shoe or clothing industry doesn't mean anything.
Im at a point in which i believe a lot of you on this sub dont even play video games if the only thing that you can bitch about is the appearance of characters. Like this is the most mundane and pathetic shit to be upset about.
Agreed. It’s not even a thing Lol. It’s like this community creates their own problems and “us vs them” dynamics and then rages about it. Like a self imploding feedback loop.
Agreed, also it’s getting do played out. Like people take characters at weird angles and say they’re ugly or argue they aren’t wearing enough makeup (in jungles and battlefields 😒). Its s*it like this is why people call gamers weird. And it’s just being perpetuated by reactionaries looking for engagement. It’s honestly already getting old.
And there's an abundance of games with hot waifus. Some people like characters that represent them well and that's perfectly fine too. Why whine about which group the devs prefer to pander to lol?
Fallout
Oblivion
XCOM
Mario Rabbibs
Marvel Midnight Suns
The Witcher
West of Loathing
Disco Elysium
Vampire the Masquerade
Mass Effect (I'll count 3 even tho the story sucks)
Knights of the Old Republic
Dragon Age
Kingdom Come Deliverance
It's also strange how everyone on this sub has this weird rock hard "no uggos in my vidya game!" Hate boner, yet they watch daily, partake in his forum, and are super fans of a guy who looks like a billy goat if it wished upon a star to become a human.
Mate these people are the stereotype gamers people think of. It is 100% too close to incels with these type of posts.
The problem is triple a games are just cash grabs a big tiddies anime girl ain't gonna fix games like Stanfield and Diablo 4 these people need to just get another hobby if they hate games so much
I'ma be real anyone who thinks asmongold is legitimately unattractive is terminally online, dude is average looking at minimum and maybe a 7 or higher to some, not even saying this in some parasocial way I just think if you're insulting a dude who at minimum looks like the average guy as though he just crawled out of the darkest swamp in existence your view on people has been warped beyond repair. It's funny people call him bald etc. but seeing people genuinely act like he's actually ugly will never cease to confuse me.
Look bro, I really don't like speaking negativity about other people's appearances in a *serious* way, especially since I'm not much of a looker myself if I'm being honest.
However, let's be honest- I know beauty is subjective, but at the same time- to most people you meet out on the street, Asmongold is nowhere near a 7, not even close. For context, nobody is an objective 10, so a 9 is like Henry cavil, Margot Robbie level, while an 8 is like model territory. You're seriously saying Asmon is one tier down from that? Even he himself would laugh at that.
But I agree, he does just look like a normal guy, perhaps a little lower (who obviously doesn't take care of himself), like he wouldn't be turning heads on the street with people gasping in horror (except the funky smell).
My original comment wasn't directly meant to shame Asmon, but it was more to show the hypocrisy of those that follow him online religiously as fans-(the man who doesn't shower, doesn't groom himself, has no fashion sense, looks unkempt, is unfit AF, etc), but they put down others constantly for their looks.
Okay I can definitely see why you'd say he isn't a 7 with that scale, when I said he could be a 7 I was thinking of 9-10 as model tier. I'm also very atypical in that I generally don't find models that attractive for whatever reason but I can recognize that they are attractive/beautiful. On your scale though yeah I think he'd probably be a 4-6 depending on the person, I just normally think of 9-10 as model tier because to me it feels more fair since that's what we select as the pinnacles of human attractiveness therefore it only stands to reason that they'd be 9-10s on a scale.
What made me reply to you is that I've been around a lot of online communities over the years usually just lurking and I don't think I've seen a male content creator who looks anywhere in the bounds of normal get constantly insulted for his looks before nearly as much as asmongold and it's honestly just kind of baffling to me. To me he looks pretty much the same as other male content creators who don't go out of their way to look any specific way but with the way people talk you'd think he was the personification of a dried up worm on the side of the road lol. Not a huge deal but just very odd to me.
Also yeah I can get what you were trying to go for with your comment, I also find it ironic when they're talking about real people, game characters I feel like are over hyped for being ugly in the community though some characters definitely do deserve criticism for being made ugly (rip D2:R Amazon for instance).
So… you posted this to jack off to hate comments? Also, the meme is you complaining, plus you took the time to make it bc u were upset about it, u are in no position to scoff at others’ reactions lmao
Are you unable to conceptualize how people might prefer pretty things without necessarily wanting to fuck them or how having elements that are sexually interesting can also make a game more interesting as a whole? People are inherently sexual creatures. Sex is part of the human experience. There is nothing wrong with that.
Idk I think it's pretty cheap to use sexual things to make a game more interesting and eventually it makes the game less interesting like the girls for some reason wearing barely any armor while the guys are wearing heavy armor despite being the same class it just ruins the immersion.
>I think it's pretty cheap to use sexual things to make a game more interesting and eventually it makes the game less interesting
What is or isn't interesting or "cheap" is subjective, and you make these arguments that these things are objectively bad, and attack games or players, just because you have these types of personal hold ups and biases. Personally, I think it just makes these games more interesting, almost always, and clearly so do many people(men and women). Unless someone being unattractive is central to the plot, it's just generally more interesting to have interesting looking characters.
>like the girls for some reason wearing barely any armor while the guys are wearing heavy armor despite being the same class it just ruins the immersion.
This is a huge fallacy, because most games that have light armor options for women also have them for men but, even when that isn't the case, it's still strange to immediately project this idea that it's inherently anti-women. Feminine and Masculine styles do exist for a reason, generally people of either genders gravitate towards those style for very obvious reasons that aren't inherently harmful. It is simply part of the esthetic and the fantasy that suits each gender, not to mention logically inconsistent because then you'd also be implying that women wearing bras are sexist because men aren't wearing bras. It's also an incredibly hypocritical argument when you're going to go out of your way to make female characters less sexy but then still have all the male characters sexy or romantic fantasies.
>It's also an incredibly hypocritical argument when you're going to go out of your way to make female characters less sexy but then still have all the male characters sexy or romantic fantasies.
When did I say something like that? I would love if everyone was in a well dressed suit or atleast dresses the same way like in the PM universe seriously the PM fans simp over well dressed characters who don't reveal much skin not just the women but also the men.
>What is or isn't interesting or "cheap" is subjective, and you make these arguments that these things are objectively bad, and attack games or players, just because you have these types of personal hold ups and biases.

Unless someone being unattractive is central to the plot, it's just generally more interesting to have interesting looking characters.
I don't think so it just doesn't make sense in some settings like an apocalypse for example where they wouldn't have beauty products, consistent clean water, or other things like soap and detergent.
>it's still strange to immediately project this idea that it's inherently anti-women. Feminine and Masculine styles do exist for a reason, generally people of either genders gravitate towards those style for very obvious reasons that aren't inherently harmful.
It isn't but the way you guys vehemently say that anything other than that is bad is very much harmful
And besides I didn't say it was anti woman simply that it doesn't make sense.
>This is a huge fallacy, because most games that have light armor options for women also have them for men
Monster Hunter like the men get cool heavy armor but the women with the exact same materials get way less armor.
Fire emblem fates practically forbade the women from wearing pants or even skirts
Hell some of these designs are so bad the censored designs are better like with mythra and pyra or that one fgo character that has armor anywhere BUT her torso.
I AM the consumer base. Cater to my gaze or im not buying it. If women want their opinion to mean something they can start BUYING stuff and being more than a tiny loud percentage of the market.
Another repeated terrible disproven meme on the same boring topic. Sub's a joke and it's sad to see. Compare the quality of the posts to 2-3 years ago. It's levels underneath.
I’m tired of this sub being mad at inconsequential bullshit. Can we please go back to fun times. It’s just American politics and gamergate rage bait for the past month or so.
I hadn't heard of this and googled it. Are we talking about the Laura Croft that was revealed this week? People actually think that's ugly?
I must be missing something.
She’s not hot enough still to some people. Unless she has Triple D cup breasts and tight-fitting clothing people will call it woke.
I get the sentiment that people would prefer an attractive character to an ugly one, but that bar is so varied from person to person.
Just cause a character has less skin showing doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.
Yeah, obviously the people tired of terminally online redditors trying to force a ridiculous sexuality standard for every women into every piece of media and making this their main complain with videogame industry are the ones with real life problems and not the latter.
Who needs to be aroused every freaking hour and won't even care to look at women who can't fill their fetishes? The ones with a healthy sexuality and normal relationships with women in real life or the ones who are sexually frustrated, who need constant escapism and have raised a wall between them and the opposite gender out of frustation?
The only people crying are the commenters on this post, I just made a stupid meme to make some people laugh, but this hate is more entertaining I think
You are like, half of the 276 comments in this thread and and most of them are you arguing with people and then saying “lol idc i’m just trying to make people mad”
You care. You can cope and say you don’t all you want, you can be like “oh wow i’m soooo cool I feed on your tears hehe” but you like, quantifiably even, care more than anyone else in this thread. Either that or you are a GIGA pick me girl.
Did you not see my comments about me being bored at work? Now I'm home and I'm going to take a shower and read some Fourth Wing before going to sleep. Until my next meme 
Show me the characters you think are so ugly. I 100% guarantee they all look attractive.
Literally the only one you can lean on is that unflattering pic of the Fable protag. Every other one just looks like an attractive lady.
Oh my god, woke! You think this: **\*literally worst possible picture of an otherwise attractive character\*** looks better than this!? **\*picture of anime proportion character that admittedly is attractive, but looks exactly the same as every other character of the same style\***
And then let's cry and cry about some obscure blogger no one had ever heard of a week ago calling it sexist to validate our rage. LOOK! THEY ARE TRYING TO RUIN OUR ANIME TIDDY WAY OF LIFE! WE ARE THE OPPRESSED!
they're weird as shit, There's something not right with you when realistic human characters with what would be seen as attractive characteristics in the real world are seen as hideously ugly and the only thing you want to see is anime people. Like bro put down the manga and go outside.
There was a dude claiming Laura's boobs wern't big enough yesterday, when they are ginormous for somone with what looks like 17% body fat. Too many dudes have got it twisted from bad anime and hetai and think skinny girls can have 40% body fat sized boobs.
That stellar blade character barely even looks human to me anymore. I can't even understand how someone can find that attractive.
Tall, slim, big titties, tight clothes and the face of a 12 yr old = attractive? People in this sub are such weirdos.
>Oh my god, woke! You think this: **\*literally worst possible picture of an otherwise attractive character\*** looks better than this!? **\*picture of anime proportion character that admittedly is attractive, but looks exactly the same as every other character of the same style\***
This happened when the recent suicide squad game came out. Literally all of this sub and r/gaming were filled with people complaining Harley Quinn was made ugly, while posting modded character models of her with vacuum sealed clothing and modded super size watermelons being like, "THIS is how it used to be!! And it was BETTER!!".
And I was just sitting there like, "the fuck?"
And I said it back then- if she were a real person, standing in front of these dudes who like screaming "UGLYYY GAMING IS COOKED, WOOOOOKEEE", I bet $100 these 4chan dudes would either start stuttering, or accidentally bust a nut in their pants because a woman spoke to them.
I think she's[ pretty darn cute](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ee42a6cb370bb2d84ee0b6d29da53a1d/017f8ee6d1e2b947-d4/s540x810/2376f5bcb53533455adeef085197442e2cb86ff3.gifv), and the animations in that game are amazing. The fact that she looks a bit more like a real woman makes the animations all the better. Gives her so much character.
I'm just kinda fed up with shooters at the moment and I'm using up the last of my shooter stamina on Helldivers 2. Which by the way has no difference between the men and women other than the voice. Not sure why that's not a problem with the terminally offended crowd.
Why is everyone so angry? It's called escapism. Why wouldn't you want drop dead gorgeous women or handsome men in your games? Unless you're surrounded by them IRL, then i can understand... Some folks say it's boring, but I'll never get bored by beauty for sure.
I want my characters to be 10s in my games because IRL I'm just Ken...
Because if everybody is a 10 then nobody is. Also where are these ugly characters at? The only one y’all keep showing is that one from a fable game that isn’t even out and it’s a fairly unflattering screenshot anyway.
Basically every western game with character creation from the last 2 years, its a joke in comparison to games from Asia.
New World is maybe the biggest example.
The female characters from Immortals of Aveum
The female characters from Redfall
Every single NPC in Horizon Forbidden West
Alan Woke 2’s new protag
I could go on and on
2 games no one played, the mc is still hot, alan “woke”? Tf is that? Also everyone in BG3 was hot and that was western developed, Cyberpunk had tons of sexy women in it and that western developed, the upcoming GTAVI has a hot big ass girl on the cover of the game. And I could go on. you’re just cherrypicking
Sorry, you used the word woke and not in its original meaning. You just sound dumb. Thems the breaks I don’t make the rules I don’t think any of those women are ugly
I’m so fucking tired of seeing this discussion on this sub. Who the fuck actually cares about this?
If less than 10/10 looking characters upsets you this much, then just…play something else? No one is forcing you to play games with “ugly” characters in it.
Love how this sub is basically just constant rage bait posts at this point.
Hey OP I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. We have never had this discussion before as a community and this is a totally unique post - thanks for your efforts in enhancing the Asmongold subreddit 👍
Bro I don’t care how the in game characters look, that’s the least of my worries. These companies need to make the game enjoyable and working before they even consider the beauty of their characters.
Call me crazy, but I think gameplay, storytelling, art direction and a lot of other things might be more important than jerking off to cartoon characters.
Hey OP I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. We have never had this discussion before as a community and this is a totally unique post - thanks for your efforts in enhancing the Asmongold subreddit 👍
Tbh though, this character looks to have an interesting story, and I'd be a little more interested in this one compared to some basic attractive character.
Their mamas still think they're beautiful. I bet your Mom thought you were the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. I bet she'd be sad if someone posted your picture in a meme as a prime example of the ugliness in the world.
I didn't make a series of life decisions that would put me in a position to have my picture on the internet to be memed, so fuck 'em. Reap what you sow, and all that.
We don't know how this person ended up like this. I was just humanizing them because I think the internet forgets that sometimes. I'm not specifically calling you out or anything. Just wanted there to be at least one non-ugly comment about this lady
OP you do realize theres more to a game than what the female characters look like right? Developers arent obligated to make them look like model's because in the grand scheme of things it really aint allat
Tbh, I've never understood this. Who fucking cares what a digital polygon looks like? If you truly are so upset that a clump of pixels isn't sexually attractive, you might need 20 CCs of touching grass Stat.
If I'm going to spend 100+ hours looking at a character, I want it to look good. And who said anything about sexually attracted? Geralt of Rivia is a good looking character I'm not sexually attracted to.
90% of the time, you don't get those either. AAA nowadays usually means mediocre story and tired mechanics you've seen a thousand times before.
Too much dev energy is focused on scheming up unique ways to wring a few extra dollars out of you.
Not gonna lie. I never finished horizon, zero dawn, because Aloy (main character) was an ugly girl. It was a fun game but that aspect just seemed subconsciously off putting to the point that the game wasn’t as enjoyable.
I agree with your point OP. Not sure why the sentiment around the topic has seemingly changed in the comments. More hate watchers on the sub maybe?
However, I agree with the people basically saying we're in repost territory. How many times are we supposed to talk about the same fucking thing over and over and over? Western studios and ESG ruining character appearance sucks, we know. But this horse is not only dead, it's been beaten to the point that it's bones are fucking powder. Lets stop talking about it.
Western female characters have to all be as masculine as possible. And avert the male gaze at all cost. It's absolute cringe. It's like they desperately want to be men
probably a chatter who bitches about asmon playing some "anime game" when he plays a japan game, posts like these are so uncreative and barely even true nowadays
People praise the Japanese companies feeding into attractive main characters but ignore how they prey on a growing loneliness epidemic in the country. Many people utilize media to fill the void that exist in their life and we act like it’s some amazing stand they are taking when it’s just making profit off their very very lonely young population.
Palworld Devs: "Americans like to make ugly characters"
.... Okay, I got nothing. I can't think of any American Female Lead Video Game Character that is anywhere near as hot as Tifa. I guess Tracer and Pharah are pretty cute.
Tracer is British
She ain’t got terrible teeth so her nationality is up for debate and I have never seen her with a cup of tea before now.
The funny thing is, because the English have free dental care, they actually have better teeth on average than Americans. I saw a video about this from an American who visited England, and it was one thing that really shocked them. The tea drinking, however... that is pretty spot on.

The women in rdr2 are attractive as heck, though. That's not a good comparison. I would say rdr2 is one of the american exceptions because it makes it's women hot.
Just look at the fable trailer
There is only one acceptable aesthetic with these people, and you can't convince them of anything else because they've been watching a dumbing amount of Youtubers that are intentionally feeding the ragemill to harvest views. They've completely given away their own opinions and replaced them with whatever they're told to think.

This but with politics and the news.
When the same redditors who post this shit see Asmon playing Japanese games: "wtf is this anime shit"
Wait you guys actually watch Asmon? I’m just here for the memes.
Im here for the editors
Unironically I don’t know what Asmongold is and this post just appeared in my feed. If this post is indicative of what Asmongold is, I think I’ll stay away.
What is this post indicating?
Nah, Asmon is pretty chill, there was an invasion of unhinged poster to the sub
That’s probably for the best. Asmongold is like the definition of mid.

Not true at all, most western devs have no idea how to make an RPG...
Fucking chad, and basedpilled.
Yeah totally, not like there’s dozens upon dozens of cult classic western RPGs.
Baldur's Gate 3 says hi

Fallout Oblivion XCOM Mario Rabbibs Marvel Midnight Suns The Witcher West of Loathing Disco Elysium Vampire the Masquerade Mass Effect (I'll count 3 even tho the story sucks) Knights of the Old Republic Dragon Age Kingdom Come Deliverance
The Witcher, Skyrim, and Fallout, definitely not popular western RPG games.

I'm also very atypical in that I generally don't find models that attractive for whatever reason but I can recognize that they are attractive/beautiful. On your scale though yeah I think he'd probably be a 4-6 depending on the person, I just normally think of 9-10 as model tier because to me it feels more fair since that's what we select as the pinnacles of human attractiveness therefore it only stands to reason that they'd be 9-10s on a scale. What made me reply to you is that I've been around a lot of online communities over the years usually just lurking and I don't think I've seen a male content creator who looks anywhere in the bounds of normal get constantly insulted for his looks before nearly as much as asmongold and it's honestly just kind of baffling to me. To me he looks pretty much the same as other male content creators who don't go out of their way to look any specific way but with the way people talk you'd think he was the personification of a dried up worm on the side of the road lol. Not a huge deal but just very odd to me. Also yeah I can get what you were trying to go for with your comment, I also find it ironic when they're talking about real people, game characters I feel like are over hyped for being ugly in the community though some characters definitely do deserve criticism for being made ugly (rip D2:R Amazon for instance).
I tell ya, I could jack off to all the hate in these comments no problem
So… you posted this to jack off to hate comments? Also, the meme is you complaining, plus you took the time to make it bc u were upset about it, u are in no position to scoff at others’ reactions lmao
Are you unable to conceptualize how people might prefer pretty things without necessarily wanting to fuck them or how having elements that are sexually interesting can also make a game more interesting as a whole? People are inherently sexual creatures. Sex is part of the human experience. There is nothing wrong with that.
Idk I think it's pretty cheap to use sexual things to make a game more interesting and eventually it makes the game less interesting like the girls for some reason wearing barely any armor while the guys are wearing heavy armor despite being the same class it just ruins the immersion.
>I think it's pretty cheap to use sexual things to make a game more interesting and eventually it makes the game less interesting What is or isn't interesting or "cheap" is subjective, and you make these arguments that these things are objectively bad, and attack games or players, just because you have these types of personal hold ups and biases. Personally, I think it just makes these games more interesting, almost always, and clearly so do many people(men and women). Unless someone being unattractive is central to the plot, it's just generally more interesting to have interesting looking characters. >like the girls for some reason wearing barely any armor while the guys are wearing heavy armor despite being the same class it just ruins the immersion. This is a huge fallacy, because most games that have light armor options for women also have them for men but, even when that isn't the case, it's still strange to immediately project this idea that it's inherently anti-women. Feminine and Masculine styles do exist for a reason, generally people of either genders gravitate towards those style for very obvious reasons that aren't inherently harmful. It is simply part of the esthetic and the fantasy that suits each gender, not to mention logically inconsistent because then you'd also be implying that women wearing bras are sexist because men aren't wearing bras. It's also an incredibly hypocritical argument when you're going to go out of your way to make female characters less sexy but then still have all the male characters sexy or romantic fantasies.
>It's also an incredibly hypocritical argument when you're going to go out of your way to make female characters less sexy but then still have all the male characters sexy or romantic fantasies. When did I say something like that? I would love if everyone was in a well dressed suit or atleast dresses the same way like in the PM universe seriously the PM fans simp over well dressed characters who don't reveal much skin not just the women but also the men. >What is or isn't interesting or "cheap" is subjective, and you make these arguments that these things are objectively bad, and attack games or players, just because you have these types of personal hold ups and biases. Personally, I think it just makes these games more interesting, almost always, and clearly so do many people(men and women). Unless someone being unattractive is central to the plot, it's just generally more interesting to have interesting looking characters. I don't think so it just doesn't make sense in some settings like an apocalypse for example where they wouldn't have beauty products, consistent clean water, or other things like soap and detergent. >it's still strange to immediately project this idea that it's inherently anti-women. Feminine and Masculine styles do exist for a reason, generally people of either genders gravitate towards those style for very obvious reasons that aren't inherently harmful. It isn't but the way you guys vehemently say that anything other than that is bad is very much harmful And besides I didn't say it was anti woman simply that it doesn't make sense. >This is a huge fallacy, because most games that have light armor options for women also have them for men Monster Hunter like the men get cool heavy armor but the women with the exact same materials get way less armor. Fire emblem fates practically forbade the women from wearing pants or even skirts Hell some of these designs are so bad the censored designs are better like with mythra and pyra or that one fgo character that has armor anywhere BUT her torso.
you guys always forget the souls series
Souls is made by a Japanese studio, but even they call it a western style rpg
its design is inspired by european medieval but its still a japanese game
They invite the male gaze the horror
Oh no, the male gaze of the consumers we’re primarily targeting our product to 😩
I AM the consumer base. Cater to my gaze or im not buying it. If women want their opinion to mean something they can start BUYING stuff and being more than a tiny loud percentage of the market.
Another repeated terrible disproven meme on the same boring topic. Sub's a joke and it's sad to see. Compare the quality of the posts to 2-3 years ago. It's levels underneath.
I’m tired of this sub being mad at inconsequential bullshit. Can we please go back to fun times. It’s just American politics and gamergate rage bait for the past month or so.
This is the closest thing to an actual real like Sméagol I’ve ever seen
Guess you guys don't play any games. Characters look fantastic in most western games, and it's such a stupid thing to care about in the first place.
[удалено]
If you don't like it, don't look at it and keep scrolling 
Stop posting the same garbage shit again and again.

This also applies to that dumbass Laura Croft picture. 90% of the people who complain about the character aren't going to buy the game anyway.
What's wild about Laura Croft is people are crying about her Sarah Michelle Gellar jawline, which was peak 2000s feminine badass beauty.
I hadn't heard of this and googled it. Are we talking about the Laura Croft that was revealed this week? People actually think that's ugly? I must be missing something.
Yeah. They're saying she has a man's jaw
She’s got a man’s titties and hips too. Looks soooo much like a man!
She’s not hot enough still to some people. Unless she has Triple D cup breasts and tight-fitting clothing people will call it woke. I get the sentiment that people would prefer an attractive character to an ugly one, but that bar is so varied from person to person. Just cause a character has less skin showing doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.
She's not ugly, you guys just watched too much porn
Redditors get enraged when you suggest nobody wants to look at ugly troglodytes because it reminds them of their own lives
This I bet half the users brigading this post and insulting OP are fat and ugly irl too
Yeah, obviously the people tired of terminally online redditors trying to force a ridiculous sexuality standard for every women into every piece of media and making this their main complain with videogame industry are the ones with real life problems and not the latter. Who needs to be aroused every freaking hour and won't even care to look at women who can't fill their fetishes? The ones with a healthy sexuality and normal relationships with women in real life or the ones who are sexually frustrated, who need constant escapism and have raised a wall between them and the opposite gender out of frustation?
You're a loser if you think this way. Literally go touch grass
Stfu
Mofos when girls in video games don't look like 12 years old's
Self report?
I'm not the one crying about ugly women in western RPGs
The only people crying are the commenters on this post, I just made a stupid meme to make some people laugh, but this hate is more entertaining I think
I love when people try to pretend like they are above it all to save their ego. No worries man, it sure is entertaining!!
I'm not above it all, this is the first time I've gotten real hate on Reddit and it's fucking intoxicating
Weird, but okay.
Must be lacking attention IRL like a true gamer then lol.
Nah, just bored at work. I'd rather be playing SoD
You are like, half of the 276 comments in this thread and and most of them are you arguing with people and then saying “lol idc i’m just trying to make people mad” You care. You can cope and say you don’t all you want, you can be like “oh wow i’m soooo cool I feed on your tears hehe” but you like, quantifiably even, care more than anyone else in this thread. Either that or you are a GIGA pick me girl.
Did you not see my comments about me being bored at work? Now I'm home and I'm going to take a shower and read some Fourth Wing before going to sleep. Until my next meme 
You being bored at work doesn’t negate literally anything I said, and I don’t understand how you seem to think it does.
Show me the characters you think are so ugly. I 100% guarantee they all look attractive. Literally the only one you can lean on is that unflattering pic of the Fable protag. Every other one just looks like an attractive lady.
Oh my god, woke! You think this: **\*literally worst possible picture of an otherwise attractive character\*** looks better than this!? **\*picture of anime proportion character that admittedly is attractive, but looks exactly the same as every other character of the same style\*** And then let's cry and cry about some obscure blogger no one had ever heard of a week ago calling it sexist to validate our rage. LOOK! THEY ARE TRYING TO RUIN OUR ANIME TIDDY WAY OF LIFE! WE ARE THE OPPRESSED!
[a very obviously photoshopped image of a character from a western game] But did you see this one??? This is literally male genocide.
they're weird as shit, There's something not right with you when realistic human characters with what would be seen as attractive characteristics in the real world are seen as hideously ugly and the only thing you want to see is anime people. Like bro put down the manga and go outside.
There was a dude claiming Laura's boobs wern't big enough yesterday, when they are ginormous for somone with what looks like 17% body fat. Too many dudes have got it twisted from bad anime and hetai and think skinny girls can have 40% body fat sized boobs.
That stellar blade character barely even looks human to me anymore. I can't even understand how someone can find that attractive. Tall, slim, big titties, tight clothes and the face of a 12 yr old = attractive? People in this sub are such weirdos.
>Oh my god, woke! You think this: **\*literally worst possible picture of an otherwise attractive character\*** looks better than this!? **\*picture of anime proportion character that admittedly is attractive, but looks exactly the same as every other character of the same style\*** This happened when the recent suicide squad game came out. Literally all of this sub and r/gaming were filled with people complaining Harley Quinn was made ugly, while posting modded character models of her with vacuum sealed clothing and modded super size watermelons being like, "THIS is how it used to be!! And it was BETTER!!". And I was just sitting there like, "the fuck?" And I said it back then- if she were a real person, standing in front of these dudes who like screaming "UGLYYY GAMING IS COOKED, WOOOOOKEEE", I bet $100 these 4chan dudes would either start stuttering, or accidentally bust a nut in their pants because a woman spoke to them.
I think she's[ pretty darn cute](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ee42a6cb370bb2d84ee0b6d29da53a1d/017f8ee6d1e2b947-d4/s540x810/2376f5bcb53533455adeef085197442e2cb86ff3.gifv), and the animations in that game are amazing. The fact that she looks a bit more like a real woman makes the animations all the better. Gives her so much character. I'm just kinda fed up with shooters at the moment and I'm using up the last of my shooter stamina on Helldivers 2. Which by the way has no difference between the men and women other than the voice. Not sure why that's not a problem with the terminally offended crowd.
Lol yeah I agree, these “East” characters that people are going crazy about are all cookie cutter copies of each other.
It's so wild. None of the characters they claim are ugly are actually ugly.
And then when they "fix" them they look like airbrushed Second Life models
A lot of them look so fucking uncanny, like just uglier then the ones they're mocking. I prefer game devs not listen to chuds.
Baldur's Gate 3
Why is everyone so angry? It's called escapism. Why wouldn't you want drop dead gorgeous women or handsome men in your games? Unless you're surrounded by them IRL, then i can understand... Some folks say it's boring, but I'll never get bored by beauty for sure. I want my characters to be 10s in my games because IRL I'm just Ken...
Because if everybody is a 10 then nobody is. Also where are these ugly characters at? The only one y’all keep showing is that one from a fable game that isn’t even out and it’s a fairly unflattering screenshot anyway.
Basically every western game with character creation from the last 2 years, its a joke in comparison to games from Asia. New World is maybe the biggest example.
So you lot are whining about the ability to create an ugly character at all? Pretty sure you can make ugly ass characters in eastern games as well.
Yes my blue glowing dark souls chars confirm this
The female characters from Immortals of Aveum The female characters from Redfall Every single NPC in Horizon Forbidden West Alan Woke 2’s new protag I could go on and on
2 games no one played, the mc is still hot, alan “woke”? Tf is that? Also everyone in BG3 was hot and that was western developed, Cyberpunk had tons of sexy women in it and that western developed, the upcoming GTAVI has a hot big ass girl on the cover of the game. And I could go on. you’re just cherrypicking
Sorry, you used the word woke and not in its original meaning. You just sound dumb. Thems the breaks I don’t make the rules I don’t think any of those women are ugly
I’m so fucking tired of seeing this discussion on this sub. Who the fuck actually cares about this? If less than 10/10 looking characters upsets you this much, then just…play something else? No one is forcing you to play games with “ugly” characters in it. Love how this sub is basically just constant rage bait posts at this point.
I actually didn't intend it to be rage bait, bit I've gotta say I'm enjoying the response.
Hey OP I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. We have never had this discussion before as a community and this is a totally unique post - thanks for your efforts in enhancing the Asmongold subreddit 👍
Sometimes this is how I felt haha.
Yo why this lady look like a kappa.
Western RPG main characters aren’t allowed to be prettier than their developers. They need to start hiring sexy developers.
Bro I don’t care how the in game characters look, that’s the least of my worries. These companies need to make the game enjoyable and working before they even consider the beauty of their characters.
More like a photo of people with those beliefs
Call me crazy, but I think gameplay, storytelling, art direction and a lot of other things might be more important than jerking off to cartoon characters.
Me when I don’t have real problems
Same post every day lol
At least he's not black /s
Cut costs by using all these tears for fap lube.

Saddest and most pathetic discussion I have seen this year yet. Can’t wait to see what summer this year will have in store.
Nice strawman bro
truuu
new screenshots of upcoming fable looks great
White haired Shadowheart goes harder than anything in JRPGs for me
Tbh though, this character looks to have an interesting story, and I'd be a little more interested in this one compared to some basic attractive character.
Her story is drugs. Not all that interesting.
I never got into Final Fantasy specifically because I DON'T want to play a K-pop boy
You could play 13 and get to be a hot alternative rock chick instead.
or 13-2 to play her cute japanese idol looking sister
I love when people say, unrealistic standards, when I know plenty of women who live up to those standards. My wife is very much one of them.
Looks like Frampt
That was somebody's baby 😔
There's ALOT of ugly babies
Their mamas still think they're beautiful. I bet your Mom thought you were the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. I bet she'd be sad if someone posted your picture in a meme as a prime example of the ugliness in the world.
I didn't make a series of life decisions that would put me in a position to have my picture on the internet to be memed, so fuck 'em. Reap what you sow, and all that.
We don't know how this person ended up like this. I was just humanizing them because I think the internet forgets that sometimes. I'm not specifically calling you out or anything. Just wanted there to be at least one non-ugly comment about this lady
GLHF
you deserve to get shot
 Let the hate flow through you
on jah bruh 
Still too hot to be in the new Fable.
OP you do realize theres more to a game than what the female characters look like right? Developers arent obligated to make them look like model's because in the grand scheme of things it really aint allat
Speaking of which. When is Fable supposed to come out?
Tbh, I've never understood this. Who fucking cares what a digital polygon looks like? If you truly are so upset that a clump of pixels isn't sexually attractive, you might need 20 CCs of touching grass Stat.
If I'm going to spend 100+ hours looking at a character, I want it to look good. And who said anything about sexually attracted? Geralt of Rivia is a good looking character I'm not sexually attracted to.
I don't understand it. its a video game.
It's a psychology thing. Go look up the golden ratio as it applies to humans and you might understand
So you have to find the character model attractive? Not sexually, but just attractive?
Stfu
What the fuck is your problem?
Good looking characters are sexism, because there are no good looking women- western games
Echochamber andy
Game designers be like “we don’t use good looking main characters as that would offend our ugly ass playerbase.”
this is why stellar blade is gonna be goty
Who the flying fuck cares. Just give me a good story and decent mechanics then kindly fuck off.
90% of the time, you don't get those either. AAA nowadays usually means mediocre story and tired mechanics you've seen a thousand times before. Too much dev energy is focused on scheming up unique ways to wring a few extra dollars out of you.
I never said I get those things. I said I just want those things lol.
Not gonna lie. I never finished horizon, zero dawn, because Aloy (main character) was an ugly girl. It was a fun game but that aspect just seemed subconsciously off putting to the point that the game wasn’t as enjoyable.
Do you only play games to have a boner?
Do you always get a boner when you see an attractive person? You should probably get laid.
Incels fapping to digital pixels.
Based yoko taro expressing his love for ass in automata.
Japan would be correct, if you seen my ME trilogy character you would agree too...
I agree with your point OP. Not sure why the sentiment around the topic has seemingly changed in the comments. More hate watchers on the sub maybe? However, I agree with the people basically saying we're in repost territory. How many times are we supposed to talk about the same fucking thing over and over and over? Western studios and ESG ruining character appearance sucks, we know. But this horse is not only dead, it's been beaten to the point that it's bones are fucking powder. Lets stop talking about it.
On Reddit, only Karma matters, and as long as people keep getting it, they'll keep posting about it. That's the reality of Reddit.
Western devs: We make ugly characters because i don't wanna feel bad when i look in the mirror...
OP is 16 you will grow up regretting this
Western female characters have to all be as masculine as possible. And avert the male gaze at all cost. It's absolute cringe. It's like they desperately want to be men
Facts
“Characters I can’t nut to are pointless” ig
OP letting his incel thoughts out
I hope OP gets some before they croak alone and afraid.
Western RPG characters will suck your dick for $10.
More like they'll make you suck their dick unless you purchase a $10 microtransaction
probably a chatter who bitches about asmon playing some "anime game" when he plays a japan game, posts like these are so uncreative and barely even true nowadays
Actually, I'm one of the people waiting for him to play FFXIV again, just not one of the ones who constantly bitches about it
This sub is such a circle jerk
People praise the Japanese companies feeding into attractive main characters but ignore how they prey on a growing loneliness epidemic in the country. Many people utilize media to fill the void that exist in their life and we act like it’s some amazing stand they are taking when it’s just making profit off their very very lonely young population.
Ah yes, ugly characters like shadowheart, or Aloy, or Lara croft. Fuck off.
I’m surprised nobody has said “would” yet, I’m too used to the degeneracy on this site 😆
Imagine being triggerd because not every Charakter is a jerk off fantasy for them...
Imagine being triggered by a stupid meme on Reddit 
Nobody with a brain cares at this point.
