Oh no no no she is not "realistic" enough, we need a purple haired lefty landwhal3 with less intelligence and less of a southern accent. :-). BTW RUclips doesn't want me to spell landwhal3 correctly...
As someone who is new to this channel, Melonie is a perfect example for the "red pill" guys out there: never judge a book by its cover huh Melonie?! You go girl!😊
I have no idea how Melonie ended up in my suggestions. But I like what she talks about and I LOVE that she has a Bible study...Shes also GORGEOUS. I subscribed.
I found her through Seananners when they were dating years ago. Don’t know if they are still dating now but yeah that’s how I learned of her. She also appeared on the GameStop TVs when they interviewed games years ago too.
Since you like studying the Bible, what can you tell me about these verses (TLDR they support slavery, sexism, infanticide, and in some cases rape). Divinely-inspired, or antiquated hogwash from a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees and talking animals? Ephesians 6:5 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.” Colossians 3:22 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.” Leviticus 25: 44-46 “You may purchase male and female slaves from among the nations around you […] You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.” Exodus 21:20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken for he (the slave) is his property” Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years, but on the seventh shall go out as a free man without payment” Exodus 21:7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are” 1 Peter 2:18 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” 1 Timothy 6:1 “All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.” Psalm 137:9 “Happy/Blessed is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” 1 Timothy 2:12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” Deut. 25:11-12 “If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man, you must cut off her hand. Show her no pity.” Deut. 22:28-29 “If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. 1 Cor 14:35 “It is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.” 1 Timothy 2:12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” Lev 21:9 “If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she also defiles her father’s holiness, and she must be burned to death.” Deut 21:10-11 “When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman you may take her as your wife.” Numbers 31:17-18 “So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.”
It’s so annoying. Because I feel like they see people on twitter moaning about it .. and then they jump On the band wagon as they know people will agree
I gotta say... My respect for Melanie shot up big time once I realized she is a Folkore fan. That's a deep cut. I also loved that stylish artstyle back on the PS3. Yeah she a real one.
@@morgatron4639 "Eve is problematic. Anybody cosplaying as Eve is problematic. Get rid of the problematic people". Done. You haven't been paying attention.
I still play PS3 as well. I still have a PS3 that I bought back in early 2012. Over the past few years, I started buying some PS3 games that I never got around to playing in the past. We were previously in the golden ages of gaming, and I didn’t even realize it
My sister is a teenager and she can't express how excited she is to play as eve and the music and not a kratos. I think it's easy to forget that yes its a game targeted at men but younger women have power fantasies like this too and want and need a charater more like this.

@@nbrosens DA:I was cheeks. It's only better when compared to DA2, but it's hard to be worse than a game that literally had to be rushed due to suits demanding of it to be done in less than a year and half. Hence why lot of content got cut, and stuff ended up being the way they were. DA:I had no such excuses, yet it only managed to be better than 2 on sole fact that "at least it wasn't broken." From characters, to plot, everything put me to sleep about this game. I'd call it MMO tier, but at least MMOs have an excuse for being so bland. This was a single player game, that was meant to be story driven, yet everything about it was laughably bad. DA:O is literally the only and last good DA franchise. 2 had potential if devs were allowed to have time instead of forced to cook the first thing that crossed their mind in under the year and half, DA:I only has better graphics compared to DA:O, isn't as broken compared to DA2, but it's also the most boring one.
I have no problem with having a beautiful character in a video game, heck I wish we had more of them: people need to quit getting so upset over a VIDEO GAME and let us gamers enjoy what we want. On a brighter topic: how Was everyone's Easter weekend?
My Easter weekend was pretty awesome. Got the Nord N30 and can run Metroid Dread through Yuzu and it is AWESOME. (I use a gamesir btw) Hate touch controls. But on the topic of the video, beautiful people in video games are realistic. Saying that beautiful people don't exist is unrealistic, and a blatant lie. The irony is strong with this one.
I enjoy the video games for the music, the challenge, stories, puzzles, social aspects (in multiplayer games) and artwork that is a celebration of beauty!
IGN: no woman looks like this Game devs: we used a real model deemed the most beautiful woman in Korea as our character model Gamers: she’s hot and activists are mad, shut up and take my money!!!
what the ign commentor fails to realize is that the creator of the games wife works with him on the game so saying he's never seen a woman is hilarious stupid journo.
Folklore was so freakin’ cool. Also, Stellar Blade’s demo was so good I preordered it, and I generally don’t do that, but it’s right up my alley and it’s ticking the right people off as an added bonus
Dead Or Alive 6 came out in 2019, and still had plenty of sexy outfits on the women. So its not they can't release games without beautiful women in them. These studio's gotta ignore all these haters and just release the games they want to make, whether they come with Sexy women or not. Its time we go back to the early 2000's and let creativity do the talking.
For female gaze, I think Dante for DMC3 or Leon Kennedy (RE4 - with jacket off) but no men complained about it coz it really doesn't matter. Naturally we are inclined to look at something that we find beautiful. It's human nature to be attracted to it.
We're beyond just "not attractive" in many cases. When you enter explicitly ugly it becomes an active repellant. Looking at ugly things and people is an unpleasant experience. Do you really want to go "Ew" all the time while engaging with one of your hobbies? Or be reminded of diseases and disabilities? I bet you could do experiments on that too and see things like stress hormones rise when looking at ugly characters. That doesn't work for hobbies which are about relaxation and pleasant feelings, because it does the opposite.
Hyung Tae Kim is a digital artist with work spanning back to early 2000s. It's his signature art style he has had for over 2 decades now. He is also the art director for the mmorpg Blade and Soul and as well as a PS2 game called Magna Carta. I have his art book actually and Stellar Blade pretty much is indicative of his earlier works.
Them: We want realistic bodies for women. Stellar Blade: *Literally scans in a woman who has a realistic body and is very beautiful* Also them: Nnooooooo! That's not real! She doesn’t look like she'd break a bathroom scale!!!!!1!!!1
Men and Women like beautiful characters. I remember playing wow and having multiple female friends playing guys because they liked a strong good looking character, as well as guy friends that played female characters for similar reasons.
Can't we all agree this is caused by jealousy, either by not looking that way or not having anyone who looks that way. Might not have been the most tactful way to put it.
I love how not only is Eve based on a model, but the dudes wife who is a game designer as well is insanely attractive as well😂😂 Plus, claiming that she is sexualized or pornographic and defending that statement with 2B and Bayonetta where not only are the characters insanely sexualized, they are the inspiration for every Patreon cosplayer these days.
People should want something to aspire to. That's the purpose attractive characters in media serve. I know I'll never look like them, but they do encourage me to work out at the very least.
They should just make an action game where you play as a beautiful 600 pound badass lady samurai with magical powers and gorgeous flowing rainbow hair, with the duty to defeat those who judge her! Maybe then, these crybabies will shut up about all this
the stupidity of ign is reaching insane levels women are beautiful intelligent beings who should be able to express themselves the way they want to there art should be appreciated and celebrated i love japanese anime and korean studios i appreciate there art and i hope they never change
I cant even concentrate playing the game because dayum she is so stunning. The way she traverses the map. And ohh that black sland red outfit. Such a sexy powerful dominant woman. Snd her British accent dub voice took my breath away.
No way, I was just talking to my brother about Folklore earlier today! 😅 We never finished it, and probably never will at this point, but we remembered the atmospheric art style and the distinctive monsters.
The thing that makes me laugh is how they say Eve is unrealistic when she was based on Korean model Shin Jae-eun. There are side by sides of Eve next to her and Eve is pretty close to the real thing.
HTK (Hyung Tae Kim) the creator of steller blade is a famous artist and he does have his own design. You can see his design in the Magna Carta series of games and the Blade & Soul series. He likes to make really long legs with big thighs.
Just got a ps5. Enjoying Baldur's Gate 3. I can't wait for Stellar Blade! Women like pretty female characters, too. Make women in video games beautiful again! ❤
I honestly just can not believe this Madness, Faux Outrage keeps on coming, its Crazy. Melonie, you are an attractive young woman, they will be coming after you next.
Notice you don’t see these same people complaining about how Men look in videogames. I don’t see them giving Kratos a “Dad-bod” and making his face less traditionally handsome. Also: Women’s fashion normally chooses style over function. So to all those critics of “fantasy armor”, that’s not unrealistic. Just look at high heels to prove women will wear something that is completely counterintuitive to the concept of footwear JUST to look “cute”. If they made the armor the same for the women as the men, you couldn’t tell the difference between the two! 😂
Muscular men and beautiful women in games are hyper masculine and feminine (examples: final fantasy, street fighter) which we all love. Eve in the skin suit is stripped down to being fully naked with jiggle ass/boobs to go, thats hyper sexualisation. Since most of the conversation around Eve has been ‘yay we’re finally getting beautiful women again’ then my question is does a women need to be fully naked in order to be perceived as beautiful because it’s starting to give soft porn instead of cool girl baddie. I love Eve but the skin suit is questionable it’s got the exact reaction it aimed to get out of its male audience and I’ve seen some pretty gross incel reacts.
@@ZeldasMask IDK where you live but at least in the west, women are dressed similarly in public. It is quite popular for women to wear skin tight yoga pants, spandex, and jeans. This is very normal now and would be hyper-sexualized in another time but not anymore.
@@hdfhddfgs6724 I live in the west and women don’t wear skin coloured suits that are shiny and wet looking (to make it extra pornified). Yes body suits exist but we’re gonna be wearing black, greys or anything that isn’t exactly the same as our skin colour, no girl wants to walk around actually looking naked. The suit was designed with a purpose and succeeded at the reaction it’s getting.
@@ZeldasMask shiny wet looking suits are more at cons n such, but i do see black leather tights being more common, thats kinda shiny. My last comment was made before i saw the skin suit that looks naked, before that i only saw the green suit and white suit. I just saw the naked color one and i agree that that is hyper sexualized. But there are other outfits too im assuming. Majority arent naked looking right?
France of all places, a nation well known for being the center point of art and cultural beauty claims Stellar Blade's player character, who is based on a REAL LIFE Korean photo model is "unrealistic"?! The irony in all of this is so overwhelming that I'd likely drown in it if not for one of my legs being slightly taller then the other! Rant at IGN France's ironic statements aside, I agree. I think its great to take some creative adjustments from a source to make a character feel like its very own instead of being a complete copy of someone else. But still have the decency to do everyone justice by making characters that are appealing to everyone rather then pandering it to a demographic that doesn't exist and then weaponize the very problem they, the developers themselves made just so they escape accountability for their actions. It's disgusting, bigoted and ironically misogynistic that they deliberately make female characters ugly because someone in the studio subconsciously hates one gender and neglect the fact that they consequently harm the character's appeal to the other gender as well. All we gamers want are great stories with well written characters, that shouldn't be too hard to ask for but the western industry has long since forgotten that invaluable design philosophy. The external features shouldn't be the one and only selling point of a character because that only makes them bland and forgettable, its not your outer features that matters, its what's inside you that matter after all... Also 14:11-14:15, Bless you.

@@binho2224if you look at them side by side, eve has a smaller chest and larger hips compared to shin jae-un, so it’s not even really a body that’s impossibly hot, just changed to fit a different taste
Would love to see the exact enhanced differences side by side@@binho2224
Korean models are not black enough to be respected
I've seen plenty of women with this exact body type. It's a 10/10 knock out body. Nothing wrong with that
This video was a breath of fresh air thank you.

"Eve is Too Beautiful" 😭😭😭😭😭 (crying tears of joy)
By korean standards, she's pretty but not supermodel.
It's like a normal pretty asian girl in the game. What's with the overreaction?
Oooo they looking like that in Korea nothing but Goddesses that's attractive👍🏾👍🏾💯🙏

I found her through Seananners when they were dating years ago. Don’t know if they are still dating now but yeah that’s how I learned of her. She also appeared on the GameStop TVs when they interviewed games years ago too.
Since you like studying the Bible, what can you tell me about these verses (TLDR they support slavery, sexism, infanticide, and in some cases rape). Divinely-inspired, or antiquated hogwash from a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees and talking animals?
Ephesians 6:5 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.”
Colossians 3:22 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.”
Leviticus 25: 44-46 “You may purchase male and female slaves from among the nations around you […] You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.”
Exodus 21:20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken for he (the slave) is his property”
Exodus 21:2 “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years, but on the seventh shall go out as a free man without payment”
Exodus 21:7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are”
1 Peter 2:18 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”
1 Timothy 6:1 “All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.”
Psalm 137:9 “Happy/Blessed is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”
1 Timothy 2:12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent”
Deut. 25:11-12 “If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man, you must cut off her hand. Show her no pity.”
Deut. 22:28-29 “If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
1 Cor 14:35 “It is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.”
1 Timothy 2:12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”
Lev 21:9 “If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she also defiles her father’s holiness, and she must be burned to death.”
Deut 21:10-11 “When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman you may take her as your wife.”
Numbers 31:17-18 “So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.”
Will likely buy both the digital and physical copy to support the game. Love my eastern brothers and sisters! Keep producing greatness!
It’s so annoying. Because I feel like they see people on twitter moaning about it .. and then they jump
On the band wagon as they know people will agree
Them: OMG, these characters are unrealistic and need to be changed to look like me!!!
Normal people: wow, this dude is jacked. I should workout more
I gotta say... My respect for Melanie shot up big time once I realized she is a Folkore fan. That's a deep cut. I also loved that stylish artstyle back on the PS3.
Yeah she a real one.
They say she is non Iconic, but just wait until the next major anime/comic convention and we'll see how many people are cosplaying Eve.
Exactly, when the game blows up in popularity, we will see exactly this
They'll just kick them out of the convention 😂
@@gfys756 Bruh have you seen what girls wear to conventions? No one's getting kicked out for cosplaying Eve.
to be fair her look is a little generic for sci-fi, tech body suits are kinda everywhere.
@@morgatron4639 "Eve is problematic. Anybody cosplaying as Eve is problematic. Get rid of the problematic people". Done. You haven't been paying attention.
I still play PS3 as well. I still have a PS3 that I bought back in early 2012. Over the past few years, I started buying some PS3 games that I never got around to playing in the past. We were previously in the golden ages of gaming, and I didn’t even realize it
Try Mgs4 guns of the patriot, or Killzone franchise
I'm currently playing Ratchet and Clank on PS3!
Me too! Currently playing going commando :)
My sister is a teenager and she can't express how excited she is to play as eve and the music and not a kratos. I think it's easy to forget that yes its a game targeted at men but younger women have power fantasies like this too and want and need a charater more like this.
Bless you!
(For the sneeze, and also your opinion)
I remember that a judge from The Game Awards said in 2014 that he’d quit if Bayonetta 2 won Game Of The Year award over Dragon Age Inquisition. And you know exactly why he didn’t want Bayo 2 to win. These parasites must go!
Dragon age inquisition is several times better than bayonetta though, as hot as Mrs B is.
@@nbrosens DA:I was cheeks. It's only better when compared to DA2, but it's hard to be worse than a game that literally had to be rushed due to suits demanding of it to be done in less than a year and half. Hence why lot of content got cut, and stuff ended up being the way they were.
DA:I had no such excuses, yet it only managed to be better than 2 on sole fact that "at least it wasn't broken." From characters, to plot, everything put me to sleep about this game. I'd call it MMO tier, but at least MMOs have an excuse for being so bland. This was a single player game, that was meant to be story driven, yet everything about it was laughably bad.
DA:O is literally the only and last good DA franchise. 2 had potential if devs were allowed to have time instead of forced to cook the first thing that crossed their mind in under the year and half, DA:I only has better graphics compared to DA:O, isn't as broken compared to DA2, but it's also the most boring one.
I have no problem with having a beautiful character in a video game, heck I wish we had more of them: people need to quit getting so upset over a VIDEO GAME and let us gamers enjoy what we want.
On a brighter topic: how Was everyone's Easter weekend?
My Easter weekend was pretty awesome. Got the Nord N30 and can run Metroid Dread through Yuzu and it is AWESOME. (I use a gamesir btw) Hate touch controls. But on the topic of the video, beautiful people in video games are realistic. Saying that beautiful people don't exist is unrealistic, and a blatant lie. The irony is strong with this one.

i don't play videogames for realism...i play videogames to experience things i will never experience in reality
I enjoy the video games for the music, the challenge, stories, puzzles, social aspects (in multiplayer games) and artwork that is a celebration of beauty!
When I want realism, I play flight- and racing-sims. And even these are not THAT realistic like the real thing.
@chandllerburse737 Talking to a beautiful woman is nothing amazing. She's just a human being like everyone else.

Eve is based on a Korean model called Shin Jae Eun. Are the gaming grifters going to try and shame her 100% real body as 'unrealistic'?
IGN: no woman looks like this
Game devs: we used a real model deemed the most beautiful woman in Korea as our character model
Gamers: she’s hot and activists are mad, shut up and take my money!!!
what the ign commentor fails to realize is that the creator of the games wife works with him on the game so saying he's never seen a woman is hilarious stupid journo.
Yeah the wokies always complaining about body shaming and they’re literally doing just that like wtf?

R.i.p video games 1981-2019
They’re angry they don’t see their selves in it.
Imagine if Dead or Alive 2 released in this day and age. So much outrage lmao especially with extreme beach volleyball.
Xtreme
Dead Or Alive 6 came out in 2019, and still had plenty of sexy outfits on the women.
So its not they can't release games without beautiful women in them.
These studio's gotta ignore all these haters and just release the games they want to make, whether they come with Sexy women or not.
Its time we go back to the early 2000's and let creativity do the talking.
Xtreme is actually pretty fun.
In dead or alive 2 we set the "age" in the options to 99 so the boobs bounced moore 😂😂
People who are ugly on the inside resent beauty on the outside.
For female gaze, I think Dante for DMC3 or Leon Kennedy (RE4 - with jacket off) but no men complained about it coz it really doesn't matter. Naturally we are inclined to look at something that we find beautiful. It's human nature to be attracted to it.
Dantes attractive but he never had on skin tight pants that made his dick perfectky visible little bit different
We're beyond just "not attractive" in many cases. When you enter explicitly ugly it becomes an active repellant.
Looking at ugly things and people is an unpleasant experience. Do you really want to go "Ew" all the time while engaging with one of your hobbies? Or be reminded of diseases and disabilities? I bet you could do experiments on that too and see things like stress hormones rise when looking at ugly characters. That doesn't work for hobbies which are about relaxation and pleasant feelings, because it does the opposite.
Hyung Tae Kim is a digital artist with work spanning back to early 2000s. It's his signature art style he has had for over 2 decades now. He is also the art director for the mmorpg Blade and Soul and as well as a PS2 game called Magna Carta. I have his art book actually and Stellar Blade pretty much is indicative of his earlier works.
14:10 I'm allergic to ugly characters too, Melonie.
Mellie's like, "Oh, my hair looks nice? I didn't notice." 😙
Melonie you look just as stylized!
Woke France is where movie “Cuties” was made, by the way
Them: We want realistic bodies for women.
Stellar Blade: *Literally scans in a woman who has a realistic body and is very beautiful*
Also them: Nnooooooo! That's not real! She doesn’t look like she'd break a bathroom scale!!!!!1!!!1
Men and Women like beautiful characters. I remember playing wow and having multiple female friends playing guys because they liked a strong good looking character, as well as guy friends that played female characters for similar reasons.
imagine though if walter white was instead a hot male model, if you put hot ass in everything it ruins immersion
Nowadays women be choosing hot female characters. Go figure.
Candycrush has a lot to answer for 😂
Frfr! 🤣
At the end, it's a business and people are drawn to attractive people. Also one of the reasons why I clicked the thumbnail.
Folklore is great! I found a copy in great condition for $50 a couple of years ago at a local used game store.
Time for Mac to cosplay as EVE!
Can't we all agree this is caused by jealousy, either by not looking that way or not having anyone who looks that way. Might not have been the most tactful way to put it.
I love how not only is Eve based on a model, but the dudes wife who is a game designer as well is insanely attractive as well😂😂
Plus, claiming that she is sexualized or pornographic and defending that statement with 2B and Bayonetta where not only are the characters insanely sexualized, they are the inspiration for every Patreon cosplayer these days.
@chandllerburse737 yes. Hence why I made sure to include Patreon, which is like only fans for cosplay
Mel Mac: “There are real beautiful women that exist”.
Us: “…”
She has to be beautiful, she is the progenitor.
folklore needs a remaster or a port. cuz man that was a gem
You'd think the French IGN devision would appreciate beauty
14:11 Bless you. 14:14 Bless you again
That PS3 clip is beautiful 😍
Totally agree. My tendency is to see the beauty and want to play more. That is not evil, it’s just being human.
People should want something to aspire to. That's the purpose attractive characters in media serve. I know I'll never look like them, but they do encourage me to work out at the very least.
It seems like some people want excuses to not pursue becoming better versions of themselves...
They should just make an action game where you play as a beautiful 600 pound badass lady samurai with magical powers and gorgeous flowing rainbow hair, with the duty to defeat those who judge her! Maybe then, these crybabies will shut up about all this
Who puts away her sword and rolls down her adversaries?
the stupidity of ign is reaching insane levels women are beautiful intelligent beings who should be able to express themselves the way they want to there art should be appreciated and celebrated i love japanese anime and korean studios i appreciate there art and i hope they never change

Eve is South Korea's Lara Croft.
No way, I was just talking to my brother about Folklore earlier today! 😅 We never finished it, and probably never will at this point, but we remembered the atmospheric art style and the distinctive monsters.

@@swagromancer A votre avis to each his own
The thing that makes me laugh is how they say Eve is unrealistic when she was based on Korean model Shin Jae-eun. There are side by sides of Eve next to her and Eve is pretty close to the real thing.
HTK (Hyung Tae Kim) the creator of steller blade is a famous artist and he does have his own design. You can see his design in the Magna Carta series of games and the Blade & Soul series. He likes to make really long legs with big thighs.
Loved the Game a ton as soon as i played the Entire DEMO.. And the gameplay is great and The MUSIC is Fucking GORGEOUS!!

beautiful women are never forgettable anyway.
I absolutely adore Folklore. I’ve always had a crush on Ellen love the style too.

@chandllerburse737 Did not know that. 0.0

Happy Monday!
I'm a bit scared about this because I have a comic coming out soon, and the characters I tried to purposefully make aesthetically pleasing...
I honestly just can not believe this Madness, Faux Outrage keeps on coming, its Crazy.
Melonie, you are an attractive young woman, they will be coming after you next.
They're offended by beautiful female characters, because it is a constant reminder of the very type of women they cannot attract!!
Notice you don’t see these same people complaining about how Men look in videogames. I don’t see them giving Kratos a “Dad-bod” and making his face less traditionally handsome. Also: Women’s fashion normally chooses style over function. So to all those critics of “fantasy armor”, that’s not unrealistic. Just look at high heels to prove women will wear something that is completely counterintuitive to the concept of footwear JUST to look “cute”. If they made the armor the same for the women as the men, you couldn’t tell the difference between the two! 😂
Muscular men and beautiful women in games are hyper masculine and feminine (examples: final fantasy, street fighter) which we all love.
Eve in the skin suit is stripped down to being fully naked with jiggle ass/boobs to go, thats hyper sexualisation. Since most of the conversation around Eve has been ‘yay we’re finally getting beautiful women again’ then my question is does a women need to be fully naked in order to be perceived as beautiful because it’s starting to give soft porn instead of cool girl baddie. I love Eve but the skin suit is questionable it’s got the exact reaction it aimed to get out of its male audience and I’ve seen some pretty gross incel reacts.
@@ZeldasMask IDK where you live but at least in the west, women are dressed similarly in public. It is quite popular for women to wear skin tight yoga pants, spandex, and jeans. This is very normal now and would be hyper-sexualized in another time but not anymore.
@@hdfhddfgs6724 I live in the west and women don’t wear skin coloured suits that are shiny and wet looking (to make it extra pornified). Yes body suits exist but we’re gonna be wearing black, greys or anything that isn’t exactly the same as our skin colour, no girl wants to walk around actually looking naked. The suit was designed with a purpose and succeeded at the reaction it’s getting.
@@ZeldasMask shiny wet looking suits are more at cons n such, but i do see black leather tights being more common, thats kinda shiny. My last comment was made before i saw the skin suit that looks naked, before that i only saw the green suit and white suit. I just saw the naked color one and i agree that that is hyper sexualized. But there are other outfits too im assuming. Majority arent naked looking right?
Melonie is the coolest aunt ever 😂
Being too beautiful will be bullied. That what IGN France want to tell you.
Funny thing about that with Folklore, not only is it a PS3 title, but it was a launch title to boot.
France of all places, a nation well known for being the center point of art and cultural beauty claims Stellar Blade's player character, who is based on a REAL LIFE Korean photo model is "unrealistic"?! The irony in all of this is so overwhelming that I'd likely drown in it if not for one of my legs being slightly taller then the other!
Rant at IGN France's ironic statements aside, I agree. I think its great to take some creative adjustments from a source to make a character feel like its very own instead of being a complete copy of someone else. But still have the decency to do everyone justice by making characters that are appealing to everyone rather then pandering it to a demographic that doesn't exist and then weaponize the very problem they, the developers themselves made just so they escape accountability for their actions.
It's disgusting, bigoted and ironically misogynistic that they deliberately make female characters ugly because someone in the studio subconsciously hates one gender and neglect the fact that they consequently harm the character's appeal to the other gender as well. All we gamers want are great stories with well written characters, that shouldn't be too hard to ask for but the western industry has long since forgotten that invaluable design philosophy. The external features shouldn't be the one and only selling point of a character because that only makes them bland and forgettable, its not your outer features that matters, its what's inside you that matter after all...
Also 14:11-14:15, Bless you.
