    Yeah I’m with you like this take always gets weirder to me.

    I’m a straight man. I love hot girls (or if you want me to get pedantic girls that I find attractive)

    I don’t have a requirement that I must want to fuck a majority of the women presented in each video game.

    It’s also okay for people that aren’t like me to be in video games. Even for, gasp, the entirety of the cast to be people not like me.

    It’s the one thing with those conservative media grift circles that gets me. If they truly had their way and every piece of media conformed to their “standards” it would be an absolutely boring fucking world where all media would just be sterile versions of the same turds pumped out. There’s be no new perspectives. No differing thoughts or challenging themes.

    Concord sucked and had a lot of problems. The characters not being conventionally attractive and “gender non-conforming” weren’t problems.

      Just take Overwatch as an example. People aren’t exactly ranting about how Winston (a Gorilla) isn’t sexually attractive, and therefore represents the moral downfall of society and that. He’s just there.

        Well that’s for 2 reasons:

        1. He’s a single character, the vast majority of characters in any successful piece of media are at least somewhat appealing, and this stands true for OW.
        2. Winston is a stud
