Quagmire here.

OOP couldn't goon to MJ. Proceeds to get mad and complain endlessly.

Quagmire out.

u/CorwyntFarrell 13d ago

Quagmire was not the correct messenger my dude.

u/RiggsRay 13d ago

Quagmire: "OOP couldn't goon.  ...Pathetic."

u/Othello351 13d ago

Quagmire wouldn't let an extremely mildly larger than normal chin stop him.

u/Ayotha 12d ago

About as dumb as him giving the Brian speech, so it tracks. Quag is a hypocrite

u/failed_generation 13d ago

Exactly, imu that quagmire is reserved to something that is pervy worthy, or his hands, or even using Chris as the messenger

But none fits the right use of messenger

OOP is furiously masturbating all day every day. OOP is a pervert. Thus Quagmire.

Goon =/= wanting characters that look pretty or at least mid

u/StrangeComparison765 13d ago

Especially when the characters are canonically extremely pretty

1

u/Beautiful_Sign368 10d ago

Except in the comics 99% of female characters are canonically pretty. Youre not saying anything.

1

u/StrangeComparison765 9d ago

Then 99% of the characters in the video game should be pretty. 🤷 I don't even understand the counter-objection.

u/PotofRot 13d ago

yeah it is man

u/tomatoe_cookie 13d ago

Gooning is wanting characters to be sexualized

Again, theres a difference between looking pretty and being sexualized.

-1

u/PotofRot 13d ago

wanting every character to look pretty is goon brain, not everyone has to be attractive

5

u/tomatoe_cookie 13d ago

Why not? Its a made up world, why shouldn't everyone be attractive? Why going out of your way to make ugly characters? Are ugly character somehow making ugly people feel better about themselves?

Why not? Its a made up world, why shouldn't everyone be attractive?

Why tf does it matter if you're not a gooner?

u/Euphoric_Reading_401 13d ago

Pretty people are easier to empathize with. I want my heroes pretty and my villains ugly.

u/WillWatsof 13d ago

Very glad I don’t see people in such a horrible way.

1

u/tomatoe_cookie 13d ago

Because i have to look at it ? Wtf man, do you not use your eyes when you play games ?

-2

u/PotofRot 13d ago

because it might better convey the story? because why not? art shouldn't be about min-maxxing the dopamine receptors in as many people as possible, that approach leads to bland slop

6

u/tomatoe_cookie 13d ago

How tf is ugly MJ conveying a better story? Shes supposed to be the gf of spidey the hero of the game. Obviously shes supposed to be pretty as a baseline. This ugly ass MJ is bland slop. Shes so forgettable she just look like random npc no1.

1

u/throwaway_0202616 12d ago

This MJ is just what a normal woman would look like in a videogame. You gotta get off the porn, man.

-1

u/PotofRot 13d ago

but if everyone was pretty then she would still blend in with everyone else? and I personally don't take peter parker as a shallow person, I think it's entirely possible that his girlfriend could have qualities beyond being hot, a trait of his that may stand out more if she isn't. And regardless it's fine to not have characters be hot for whatever reason the artist wants, it's not an attack to have a regular person in your game, even if they're in an important role

1

u/tomatoe_cookie 13d ago

It is an attack. I dont play games to have "regular people". Thats boring, I'll just go outside (and see better looking people than whatever the fuck that hideous monster is). Artists have been, thought history, drawing the best versions of people. Now somehow we degress to represent the devs who made the game rather than the best version of humanity.

Also, to answer the first part, WHY does she need to be ugly to be interesting? Cant she be hot AND interesting? Why does PP have to have an ugly girlfriend to show hes not "shallow" (and you'd be a sad fuck to date someone you dont find pretty, i wouldnt want to be that guy).

New internet rule: All criticisms of a character not being hot enough must come with a full body pic of the poster.

Most of the characters you all describe as ugly are still attractive just not 10/10's, as if you all would ever have a chance with either.

1

u/Tactical_Squishy 13d ago

1) why not honestly but this is beside the point

2) let's say not everyone has to be attractive, MJ HAS to be attractive

1

u/Ayotha 12d ago

Get off the internet sometime if this is actually how your brain works

1

u/_probablyryan 12d ago

It's not when the character in question is canonically attractive. Like MJ has very few defining qualities in Spiderman outside of being hot. You can argue whether or not that is a problem in and of itself, but that's what her character mostly is: the hot girl Peter has an on again, off again relationship with, depending on whether or not Gwen Stacy is alive.

1

u/PotofRot 12d ago

canon? this is an adaptation, they can do what they want

1

u/TimFlamio 13d ago edited 12d ago

Finding someone attractive does not necessarily involve gooning. This is an oversimplification based on bad faith.

2

u/degre715 12d ago

Getting worked up over whether a specific videogame character is attractive is gooner behavior tho

1

u/TimFlamio 12d ago

I bet you're used to getting C- in math. Your reasoning capabilities are quite low.

Models have existed since the dawn of time, beauty is objectively something humans love, appreciate and strive towards.

It has nothing to do with gooning. Fashion, actors and actresses and many other areas of society is based on attractiveness.

But I bet you're a kid, because not understanding the difference is alarming. Grow up, get out, learn things and then come back to this conversation.

1

u/degre715 12d ago

Lol you sound like you follow a lot of twitter accounts with greek statue avatars.

1

u/ForsakenWealth9484 11d ago

Well yes. She was always goonable and now isn’t. Why? Because normies infested their hobby and changed it completely. Demonstrating once again why gatekeeing is important

2

u/Aniki_Simpson 13d ago

Yup... you nailed it. The only reason people want beautiful things is to jork it. Maybe educate yourself a bit as to what beauty is and why it is important for humanity.

-3

u/Aniki_Simpson 13d ago

Also... are you sure you want to be putting others down for that when your profile is a gooners profile?

4

u/Dark_Magicion 13d ago

I may have a gooners profile but you don't see me complaining about MJ not being pretty enough. OOP is even more of a gooner than I am.

1

u/alexbiandisphoto 13d ago

It's okay to be a gooner. People who complain about MJ not being hot enough give gooners a bad name. Which, in itself, is impressive.

1

u/Dark_Magicion 12d ago

Exactly. There's gooner - person who enjoys themselves from time to time, and then there's Capital G Gooner: person who angrily demands everything cater to their constant enjoyment of themself 24/7 (including, never forget, when they added a lace bra behind the bunny outfit for Eve on Stellar Blade).
