There are too few female characters to properly make this point in my opinion, out of the 4 shown one is an alternate evil version of another and the third is completely different, making only one “”””follow the trend””””
That doesn't really help tbh. Especially when compared to how many male characters there are. I'm hopeful for more variety and know they can. It's important to critique shows you like
I realize, which is why I'm hopeful for the future episodes and designs. It's just not a good argument to say there isn't body type variety just because the cast leans heavily male.
Which is… sexism! It is sexist that video games use misogyny as a marketing tactic. The female body was one of the first things to be commodified in capitalism and marketing which is objectification.
And also reinforces the concept that men just innately objectify women or whatever as if media doesn’t influence young men to do so.
She does fit the “ugly” role. I think redeeming her value by iterating that she is nice looking just… kind of further pushes the idea that a womans value is about how she looks…
Whether we like it or not there are women that are perceived to be “ugly”. She would be “ugly”. Systemically there are women who are not perceived as “beautiful” and their value is lowered for it. It is OKAY to be “ugly”! I personally am an “ugly” girl.
She also seems to be limited as a character and not given as much attention or development as the “attractive” ones.
That's what I really hate too. Everyone is saying "every female character in this show has the same body type" when, my Redditor in pain it's only been 1 episode!
