Feminist make Video Game charaters in "Realistic" sizes

http://www.bulimia.com/examine/video-games-realistic-body-types/ [quote]Plus-sized women are a rarity in video games, and when one does show up, she’s typically unusual looking. More often it seems video games are home to ultra-slim waistlines only.[/quote] [quote]With realism in mind, we altered some of the most beloved female video game characters with Adobe Photoshop, shaping their bodies into images that represent the average American woman’s measurements. Check out the results below![/quote] Yes, someone out there wants a fat A.I

  • Wait so does that mean video game characters will start to look like beached whales?

  • This is the stupidest shît I've ever seen. Their bodies aren't unrealistic. Some are a bit too skinny and a bit too busty. But it's not a problem. They didn't make them a realistic skinny, they just made them an average women size which is not what the game wants. The only real change would be to make their breasts a bit smaller but even then, it's realistic because you can get implants.

  • Yeah lets bring back fat men in video games... It goes both ways, no one wants to see ugly women online, and no one wants to play as an ugly man online. Not sexism

    Feminists are so dumb. All these characters are fighters/people who arent lazy modern day americans. Games would be shit if they were all about obese lazy people. And shouldnt healthy looking people be made rolemodels and not overweight people with underlying heart problems? I dont think i'd want my children to say to me, "i want to be obese when i grow up, just like the girl in halo!" Thats not the kind of things i want infleuencing my kids.

    • Lol more "realistic" I'm a freakin a petite girl, THATS MY BODY FIGURE (except I don't have big boobs or butt). It's not our (petitie) fault for having fast metabolism & taking care of ourselves. Besides, most of the reason why women are big is because of a big role called "Genetics" some people deal with diabetes. Or women have had children & never got rid of the excess fat. Jesus, women need to seriously stop bitching, they rarely play video games anyways. If you're gonna cry about it - go take you & your fat ego to WoW or Leagues.

    • First off she's not fat in the the "revised" pic. Second All they did was disproportionately increase her stomach size and changed nothing else. This isn't accurate. Third, women on video games are usually badasses their jumping and doing kung-fu and other martial arts things no average women could do. Fourth, the men are always portrayed as being ridiculously muscular meat heads, women don't complain because I'm sure they love it. Damn feminazis

      My only problem with these pictures is that they ruin the immersion of a game. Lara Croft and Tifa are thin because they have to be at peak physical fittest to complete their ludicrous none realistic task. You don't see video game characters as fat guys, either. [spoiler]Unless you're playing as a boomer in Left4Dead[/spoiler]

    • Fine. Let's also make all of the guys overweight & out of shape instead of ripped. Oh wait they aren't complaining about that? Interesting...

    • So um they're -blam!-ing stupid. Fat woman(no offense) are less appealing than slimmer ones. It's just natural attraction it isn't our fault but appealing characters are nice. You get more attached to them so it's more feels.

    • It's funny cause most of those characters portray athletic women correct? Therefore the change in size is kind of stupid seeing as how it only serves to make the characters less efficient because now some of them seem to not be in shape. Then the whole thing with cortana is stupid cause she's an AI and can literally do whatever she wants with her body, why would she add mass like that? Lol

          • Rooster Teeth made a great video on this. The people who made the photoshops obviously knew nothing about the characters. And now for a quote that's always relevant: [quote]The internet has simultaneously enabled two opposing influences on belief: On the one hand, it has reduced intellectual isolation by making it more difficult for people to remain ignorant of the diversity of opinion on any given subject. [b]But it has also allowed bad ideas to flourish―as anyone with a computer and too much time on his hands can broadcast his point of view and often enough, find an audience. [/b]So while knowledge is increasingly open-source, ignorance is, too. - Sam Harris[/quote]
