Real women have eyes the size of small plates, their head is twice as wide as their hips and they don't have visible noses, unless viewed from the side.

I'll never forget when people lost their shit over the Horizon Zero Dawn protagonist having peach fuzz on her face.

To be fair that does look like a dude

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

looking at just her face while ignoring her hair it kinda does

"Faces are affected by human variation and the ability to tell genders apart is mostly contextual. More at 11."

no srsly. deeply. honestly.

WTF?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks a bit like Kristen Stewart in that screenshot.

There's just a lot of neckbeards out there that assume any woman with a better chin than them (and that's not difficult) is a man.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think she looks like Kathryn Hahn

[–] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 7 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's only Bethesda that does not know.

Can somebody explain the re-Xed X?

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The straightest Peter (parker) got the manliest MJ (Mary Jane), sadge (twitch emote for sad/cringe). It's a chud being a chud about Mary Jane not being fuckable enough for their tastes in a spiderman game, because that's an opinion people have now I guess

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To he fair regarding the facts, MJ is supposed to be far more attractive than a “normal” woman and way out of Peter’s league. She fixes his fashion and gets him to ditch the glasses.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk, after a quick google I think this portrayal of MJ is faithful. Perhaps that's just me/my tastes. She's well above average. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that could honestly say that she's average/below average.

Within the confines of comic books and adjacent media, perhaps she's not as attractive as originally intended due to the hypersexualization of people in this genre. That's more of a comment on the social conditions that lead to this trope rather than if she's fuckable or not though

Eh, fair shakes.

There like 56 versions of MJ and some have wildly different character traits, visual features, and relationships with Peter, to claim that MJ is "supposed to be" anything just betrays ignorance of the franchise

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that you dismiss that there is a baseline MJ on which all subsequent MJs are based on to at least some extent but generally have the character wholly intact betrays your ignorance of not only the franchise but of the comic book industry in general.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The baseline is literally "attractive redhead" and that's it.

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a shame that that’s all you reduce her to.

[–] SRo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

But she looks like shit
