We all know that if you remove a word that could represent a thing you don't like, that thing will stop existing. The same is true for little pictures.

Q: You are ugly.
A: Then consider me an expert on ugliness and respect my analysis.
Q: You are [a|an] [.*ist|.*phobe], douchebag, virgin, asshole, loser.
A: But am I wrong?
Q: That game was successful.
A: Lots of terrible things are successful. People just buy the current thing because the tv told them to.
Q: I like that game, it's fun.
A: I'm sure it is. Like the old joke about riding a moped.
Q: Are there any games with good looking women?
A: Yes. On my
Steam Review Page you can click on the tits tag to see them. There aren't as many as you would think, given all the hype around the subject.
Q: All of these people are normal looking.
A: Heroes should not be normal, they should be exceptional. At least slightly above average. If I wanted to see normal people I would just go outside.
Q: My girlfriend is fat and ugly and I find this article offensive.
A: In real life, people can have many good qualities besides their appearance that would make them a good partner. A video game character has only her looks, so they are much more important.
Q: You are disrespecting women.
A: This article is about how the fictional depictions of women don't live up to the real thing. I mention 5 specific face models who are more attractive in real life than in the video game, because the developers intentionally sabotaged their appearance. I mention two concept artists who happen to be women, and their work is excellent. The game directors disrepsect women by mutilating their work, altering their face scan, or occasionally deliberately choosing an ugly girl and parading her around in an act of performative cruelty. Forcing a beautiful person to be ugly is disrespectful. Telling an ugly person they are beautiful is disrespectful. Telling the truth is not.
Q: This is just your opinion.
A: Yes. Of course it is. Imagine being so broken down by the education system, forced to repeat consensus opinions as gospel for so long that you actually think accusing someone of expressing their own opinion constitutes a rebuttal of any kind. I truly pity the person who considers this to be an argument.
Q: Lots of people disagree with you.
A: Truth is not determined by consensus. It is possible for everyone in the world to be wrong.
Q: OBJECTIVE REALITY DOESN'T EXIST REEEEEE
A: 👍
