@Kirby_Girl The fact that you see someone prompting you to step out of yourself and consider that you could be wrong as a joke isn't flattering. The PROPORTIONS battle cry is so overdone despite never having any weight in the first place. It's an anime styled game and even then, it's far from standout lol. Even in the franchise. There are real, normal girls who have bodies even more "unreal" to use your terminology lol, than theirs and would call bs on everything you've said. I don't know how long you guys plan to hold on to the belief that everyone lives under a rock and expect everyone to think you're right because like every other internet warrior, you go online and say "I have big boob", but the rest of us who have our own bodies and/or see a variety of normal people all the time aren't exactly horrified by the design of Pyra of all characters and played the game without being perpetually unsettled, as if that reflects well on you as anything but an overemotional internet personality. It's called being an adult. You might not like the design but get real lmao. You'd think that you were watching some rail thin hooker within bolted on FFFs strip nude on the Teletubbies.

@nessisonett There are definitely real feminists out there who aren't pressed over the sex appeal of Japanese fictional characters. but why even drag those people into this situation? Do you really think that all or even a remote majority of these games have been censored because of lolis or "underaged characters"? Take a look around. Not saying you're using it as one, but that's far from anything but a strawman at this stage. It's the same tired point that is routinely dug back up and peddled whenever this agenda gets backed into a corner and made to acknowledge that there's nothing actually wrong with what they're trying to "amend". Particularly when we already established that platform holders like Sony can decide that games like Devil May Cry 5 should be censored even further when the youngest ANY character in that can pass for is 25 on a good day, what even remotely defining number of games have been censored because of "underage girls", seeing as it keeps getting brought up? Especially when even IF there is like a 17 and 11 month year old character, the ages in said games are always changed in localization and in tandem, the character models were already anything but representative in the first place? Games get censored all of the time and have nothing to do with that whatsoever.

@Trajan I think you missed his point. TLOU2 sold well because the first game was one of the biggest, most beloved titles of all time. Let's not act like were people not going to get to see Ellie and crew again after all they went through that it would have sold anywhere near as well given the circumstances. Setting that aside, the game wasn't exactly "woke". It just did a lot of things that disproportionately large number of people thought were unnecessary and ruined the story. And even the people who thought those choices were on account of a certain narrative still bought the game. Because it is the sequel to what too many people consider to be one of the best games of all time. Not exactly a good metric for trying to disprove a whole mantra based off one of the most powerful names and properties in the industry still making money despite it.

"Hey, if you walk up to a random guy and grab his butt, he's probably gonna punch you."

"Well that hot girl who he likes did it in public and all he did was grimace a little bit and still hug her."

"Oh, well nvm."
