Because they are too indistinguishable from each other that they don’t deserve their own character slot.

Variable Application of Performance Enhancements

An STI engine swap would, of course, be neat but I’m just happy with the blue lighting if I’m honest.

Dude, its wonderful you’re trying to raise awareness on something you care about. That I am all for. However, I as a fitness fantatic know this space, I have female friends who were followed home because they wore leggings. Female gym goers get hit on all the time. Hell just yesterday I saw a young woman no older than…

Of course they are. But generally because athletes are fit attractive people and they’re in the public eye. Their clothes and uniforms aren’t necessarily explicitly sexual iconography.

I can search for a hot girl at the gym in yoga pants on Porn Hub, but those pants are probably coming off. It’s the fit girl that’s the…

D.Va’s appeal for me has always kind of been that a) she’s a mech pilot (awesome), b) she’s badass, and c) she likes cute things, but she also kind of employs them in an antagonistic way that would probably irk her opponents. Like, “ugh, this MFer just de-meched me and on top of it she’s giving me a peace sign,…

I feel like this only pushes his point further.

With a few exceptions, all of the characters are drawn to be attractive, male and female. Not sure that arguing that that everything can be sexualized is the route to go. Especially considering this feminist group seems pretty vocally feminist and they don’t seem to have an issue with her hot rod or cop uniform, or…

As a D.va player, I’m not comfortable with this costume choice.

She’s not the only asian woman. By the usual US definition Mei counts, by the more global definition of asian Symmetra does too, and technically Siberia is in Asia but I’m not going to fight too hard for Zarya to count.

There is a reason why cheerleader and catholic school girl costumes are in high demand on Halloween and it’s not because are just really hyped about reliving that portion of their lives (especially given most who buy them have never have). Fetishism is a thing and while it’s not nice to yuck someone’s kink, if your…

100%

The whole premise of the game is “hot people shoot each other sorta” combined with a weirdly out of touch street fighter attempt to be global that was never not going to be problematic, so it’s a tough position to find a character who was absolutely 100% designed as japanese “tiny evangelion pilot” first and then…

Debates about video game cosmetics is at least as old as hats (TF2) or other costumes (for me, first exemplified in the Soul Calibur games).

You can’t believe it because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with, and you’re also not empathetic enough to understand the perspective of another fellow human being, and how such a thing might…

I’m disappointed that the first comment is already dismissive of the entire concept of thinking critically about topics like this. I found the article very informative and enlightening, and I think we should be having conversations like this. Writing it off as “just cosmetics” isn’t helping anything. Caring about…

Yeah probably not the best idea to put the only Asian woman in a school girl outfit. This is more lazy than anything else.

Clothing is just a mesh on a rig, so like I said - unless they have the shittiest pipeline and tools on earth, this shouldn’t be that hard.

I’ve always wondered why game developers don’t just give an answer like “Making a game is always a matter of giving up on a lot of things your wishlist for features in order to actually get the thing out the door. The good thing is that we’re always looking to expand and improve, so if this is a thing you want to see…

Retargeting animations to a female rig isn’t that much work.  It’s possible that they have a really shitty pipeline that makes it harder to do so, but they act as if they’d have to do everything from scratch, which is mostly bullshit.
