Can't even bone a goblin lady or a dragonborn lady or Mig (best girl)
Is it because of the scars? It's already been pointed out here that she's pretty conventional as far as beauty standards go, a tall blonde white woman with straight hair.
What about Lae'zel? She's the "odd-looking" waifu that everybody was talking about, she would be much more convincing as an example. Even so, her face and skin tone are the only unusual things about her, she's still an athletic woman in good shape, as defined by common beauty standards... I don't know, I can see where they're coming from with this, but the argument simply doesn't hold up when you use BG3 characters, who are almost all conventionally beautiful, as examples.

It's because in-game she's boisterous and strong and doesn't act like a passive piece of furniture, which is what these freaks want
Also probably the fact she's gay
She’s not just tall, she’s a hulking giant. She’s like 12 feet tall and muscular. Definitely not the “conventional beauty” but definitely has an audience still
Normal hewmon males
What's with the weird dehumanising cop lingo these guys insist on using? He could've said "the average joe", "regular dudes", "normal guys" etc
You see, the male of the human species has very specific tastes.
They never learned how to write. Not a creative writing bone in their bodies.
Beauty standards aside, this is the dumbest part:
Not if you want normal males to buy your stuff
BG3 has been a colossal success. It came out three months ago and it’s still topping sales charts, which means that either no one else cares about the things this sad loser cares about, or the sad loser demographic isn’t worth catering to.
Are there any websites where I, a normal male, can talk to other normal males exclusively?
I'd really like to bounce my faux intellectual and prescriptive ideas about art without being oppressed by non-normal gender identities.
Lesswrong, probably
Is this just "fuckin pronouns" but for checks notes... tall blonde white women?
so in a game where you can meet a dragon the thing you normally don't do that's the fantasy is talk to a woman
Historically accurate
Wtf is this sentiment that keeps getting regurgitated about fantasy settings. It's not historical to begin with. Why would it need to be historically accurate. Let alone the fact that these people don't want accuracy they want
.Daily reminder of the weird ass Fallout 4 mod that removes anybody non-white and takes women out of combat roles...
Sounds like some Varg Vikarnes shit.
nothing should be made to appeal to men like this ever again. let them live in a completely barren room for their entire miserable lives
That headline confuses me. Dame Aylin is not only conventionally attractive but is also a strong boisterous meathead who kicks total ass. What's not to love?
you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
"Games are aspirational products" Spoken like someone with more worms than brain
Normal male moment.
She looks like a tall somewhat muscular lesbian who is very hot, idk why they act like that's taboo
sorry guys but dame aylin is for the gays
Why do they always speak like this? Do they think if they use enough words and commas they can obfuscate the basic fact that they down bad for some digital booba?
tbh they are prob a teenager
Is woman but wear helmet feminism?! Tune in after the commercial break to find out!
Nobody bought BG3 famously
Hate when games reflects reality like that.
Video games used to be my escape from 7-foot tall, muscular Aasimar with angel wings.
Why doesn't this video game female look like my sex doll? 😡
We're getting to a point with G*mer males that being attracted to women in a game is gay, actually, unless she's a demure waifu with giga boobs that has no speaking roles.
What if my fantasy is to be admired as beautiful with my own body type? What about that?
Not enough booba
Straight g*mer moment.
Coomers must be eliminated
Gamers when a women isnt a tradwife
Escapism worship is fucking toxic
My sibling in Christ that's all I've got
"Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that."
Seriously WTF who's claiming Aylin isn't conventionally attractive?
Like a bunch of small-dicked inbred hicks get to lecture anyone on beauty.
idk who this normal male is but he sounds boring
I think everyone here's missing the point. He's not complaining that the character isn't conventionally beautiful, he's complaining that she's too conventional.
Okay, then exactly what kind of 'less conventional' woman do you figure this screeching "normal male" would want? Disregarding that our boy here is bitching about her being remotely realistic, lol
No, you're being obtuse. He is advocating for an idealized appearance according to conventional tastes, i.e. what a "normal male" finds ideal.
what do they mean broaden beauty standards? she is a tall blond beautiful white women. she is the beauty standard.
if these fuckers saw a hot butch they'd piss their pants and cry.
She has muscles and is scary
Therefore she is not traditionally beautiful despite the fucking golden cracks on her implying she is a work of art who has been made more beautiful by her ordeal
i didnt even see the metaphor thats lovely
The article makes the argument that she is not the male beauty standard for women, but the female one. I'm not sure that is true, she is like 3 % too wide-shouldered for the most conservative standard, and I wouldn't exactly call it broadening in a non-pun-based sense of the word.
is see, stil a silly take, men loved xena the warrior princess.
That's kinda wild tbh. Which female beauty standard is that supposed to refer to? What straight women buying into hegemonial femininity want to be like? What queer women find hot? These two standards tend to be not the same type of woman, and the latter in particular usually isn't one narrowly defined type of woman in the first place, because the entire point of a sapphic desire that defines itself in opposition to the hegemonnial way of sexualizing women is to view each other as subjects, not as objects, which only works when you understand our beauty as an expression of ourself, not as a fulfillment of an abstract and policed ideal beauty standard that by definition must always exclude most women because most women are not of the same race, body shape etc.
Which, btw, is a position that i've not only seen in all kinds of lesbian communities, but found a ton of straight dudes to very enthusiastically agree on, because viewing women as human and being able to find more than 1% of the female population hot are both kind of a prerequisite if you realistically want a fulfilling relationship with a woman, which surprisingly tends to be something most straight men actually want.
Or, tl;dr: Reactionary anti-feminists who enforce hegemonial gender roles fight to make everyone unhappy, including other cishet dudes.
broads these days smdh
All I know is that she's definitely the male beauty standard for me.
I find it's 50/50 on the height thing, like there is the womanlet meme, but also if someone as a heterosexual man is with a woman taller than him, he'll probably get bullied or whatever?
ive towered over half the men ive been with, no one has ever said anything. unless you have dogshit friends no one you know is gonna say anything also if a man keepsd friends like that you shouldn't date him. also tall women are still the beauty standard regardless if individual short mens preferences.
