Sick of woke ugly men in my Vidya games

Not sure if thats a parody of Gamers complaining about "ugly" women or if they are serious and also stupid on the same level
- Pretty sure that’s a parody, in response to where folks edit women in the same manner, like this shit: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-is-the-hire-fans-lol-meme-the-viral-dei-copypasta-being-used-to-criticize-the-witcher-4-haters-explained
  
  Original Chuddish: "Hire fans lol"
  Translated to English: "I've never once seen a real woman from up close (they always run away and call me a freak)"
  
  Am I alone in finding the "fan" image for Ciri even more off-putting than the original one, even if Ciri was doing something where attractiveness was relevant? People who wear that much makeup end up in the uncanny valley for me.
- I'm pretty sure it's a parody, but it'd be hilariously unhinged if it became real.
- So poes law is alive and well.

There's no forcing. I actually didn't look in the mirror my first playthrough and I stand by that choice
- Wait a minute, he looks different if you don't look in the mirror in his apartment? I think it's time I replay this game...
  
  Not different, it's just fuzzy and you can't make out the face, I did the same thing in one of my playthroughs
  
  Original portrait:
  After looking at the mirror (don't):
  Shaved:
  If you manage to get rid of the Expression:
  Shaved, no Expression:
  For some reason you also get a custom portrait if you go fascist enough:
  And shaved fascist:

Games are fantasy and I fully support whatever you like to see. Want to see skimpy women? Excellent! Want to see Giga Chad dudes? You go girl! Want to see beat down dirty protagonist? That's a-ok!
This whole fighting and shaming for fantasy role-play needs to stop.

I actually thought this kind of degenerate nonsense was someone joking but today I saw a mod for Baldur's Gate 3 to make Gortash "handsome," so I'm obviously out of touch.
- Gortash actually is supposed to be younger and more attractive, according to the narrator at several points.

In my game I got him to stop grinning...
- Shaven, Expression-free Harry gives me some early Sam Vimes¹, (and by extension Harry Callahan²) vibes:
  There might actually be a good cop under all that pain and damage.
  1 — From Sir pTerry Pratchett's Discworld books. 2 — From the Dirty Harry film series.

i still haven’t finished this game because i don’t want it to be over. even though i haven’t played it in months, i can take comfort in knowing im not truly done with it
- There's more to see if you go through it as a different "character"
  
  my problem goes deeper than you might initially expect. i have made many many characters for this game. however, none of them have finished it
- I still haven't finished this game because the variety of choices and behavior gives me paralyzing FOMO
  
  yeah i have been having that problem too. i kept making new characters and reloading saves to see what would happen. i know it ends up making the experience worse but i just can’t help myself. i need to know. i also need to have all the fun stat boosting items and then i find myself optimizing the fun out of the game.
  
  I wish i took my time with my first playthrough more. I enjoyed it too much that i rushed through.

This is my favorite internet gag lately.

I only see a disco man, as handsome as Hjelmdallerman himself, doing THE EXPRESSION. I bet he is doing the fuck a lot.

Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain

OG joel looks better. Only reason the new guy at the top looks better is because hes vaguely reminiscent of luigi
- Good call!
  
  I didnt see shit
- I'm glad I'm not the only one with that thought!

god, thanks to these meme, iihate all people equally again

Fire Hans lol

Hot Harry? 😨
Maybe I should drink less...
- That's what I imagine Raphaël Ambrosius Cousteau looks like.

Mr. Cody?
- Before and after Corn Cream. (order unknown)
