    Alright,
    I've been watching a video of feminist frequency (YouTube:
    https://www.youtube.com/user/feministfrequency) about female video game characters which got me so mad that I gotta share it here. There is a woman, called Anita $arkeesian who is actually complaining about women being too attractive and slender.
    She picked five examples of the game called "Overwatch":
    [​IMG]
    Pharah Widowmaker Symmetra Tracer Mercy

    All of these characters are slender because of their health which needs to be adjusted to their abilities and strength. Now imagine changing Widowmaker's body into something Roadhog like (a picture of him for those who don't know how he looks like: http://prntscr.com/elrzdm). Of course the game needs attractive women (and men) to sell well. These ingame figures would be on a peek physical performance if the game would be a real thing, that means that they have to have the fit body to actually get along with the games expectations. I said men in brackets up there because the edgelords of the game (Reaper and Call of Duty) are both attractive aswell, such as Lucio or Junkrat.
    She said that there wouldn't be enough diversity in the game well here we go, I picked 4 examples to show:
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    The cute chubby Mei (top right) and the Russian weightlifter Zarya (top left) do show a large amount of difference in body types.
    The bottom left one is Orisa, a FEMALE robot, please don't tell me that there is not enough diversity ingame.

    I guess feminists are out of ideas and are now targeting the video game industry for sexually attractive women.

    Leave your thoughts~

    Feminism once fought for gender equality, what they are doing now is just ridiculous

    It's a simple game. Nobody is trying to create inequality in games with genders. That's just another mythical thingie people made up.

    yea I hate to say this but you are so salty. It is just a game let it go like god dam. If it was real life i could understand but this is just a game people play for fun don't make a huge deal out of nothing.

    Nothing wrong with promoting a healthy body image, just the fat ones get jelious and salty.
