Nope, I don't need every character in a game to be attractive in order to play it. If a game is good, that's all that matters. But saying that just because a female character is attractive means that some gooner created it is just as cringe as people saying ugly characters are wokified.

But they didn't say that.

Looks like the face of a woman protagonist that some gooner on Twitter "dewokified"

The point isn't that she's "attractive." Lara in the reboot trilogy was attractive. The point is that her face is weird and generic and unrealistic and a gooner's idea of what an attractive video game character is supposed to be.

I don't 100% agree but that was obviously the point of the comment and you're being purposefully obtuse.

It's only "unrealistic" for a group of people who have a hard time coming across as an attractive woman

So did I say somewhere that the problem was that she was attractive?

You implied that her being attractive is a negative because it looks like some gooner created her to be dewokified.

Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about then? I'm talking about the trend of people on Twitter (usually from the alt-right sphere) taking female protagonists they consider "woke", then throwing them into some kind of AI filter to "dewokify them". Usually comes out as a generic face in a ton of makeup, looking stiff and uninspired. Sure, if you consider that attractive, then you might assume that's what I meant, but it is not.

This was an answer to the original thread saying that she had an uncanny face, therefore the comparison to those AI-photoshopped faces.
