I understand your point @Taemien . You made it previously and I agree.
What I’m trying to get into @erjoh 's mind is that his endeavor is futile.
People like what they like.
It doesn’t matter how many uglies you shove down a boy’s throat, he will still like what he likes and he is bloody well entitled to his tastes.
The kind of men most women want is completely out of their reach, period. You won’t change their tastes by shoving ugly heros in the videogames they like. They’ll sooner stop playing than they’ll start dating less attractive women. They can get the gorgeous ones and they won’t settle for less or give a flying f about all his talk. And the uglies will still be miserable after ruining the games for the dudes they don’t want, since the guys they want have gorgeous women in real life and don’t look at them twice.
It’s stupid, that’s what it is.
People like what they like and they’ll keep liking it not mattering how many uglies you shove down their throat. It has zero effect. It doesn’t work and it only creates problems.
Besides, there’s plenty of great games where the protagonists don’t even have to be pretty. But now it’s a plague in Western games. The moment devs launch a preview with a sexy girl in it, all hell breaks loose. It’s ridiculous. Let boys have their super hot girls in games, since most won’t have them in real life. They are small in number and they only go for the 1% of attractive and very successful men in society. And they are the ones who get most of them, not the unattractive.That’s life. People need to deal with reality instead of fooling themselves and others. It never ends well. And it screws gaming without any gain.
