I don't like kinkshaming people, and what you buy and keep in your house is your business, but yeah it sucks that a lot of the people who like the picture on the right will complain the one on the left is ruining video games or something. I've seen too many posts from these kinds of people judging western games against Japanese games entirely based on what the female characters look like, and they almost always consider anime-style porcelain doll women (if they even look like grown women) to be better.
What's really maddening is that the same people complaining about Elle will jump to the defense of stuff like that waifu saying "It's their style! It's just a drawing! Let them draw what they want!"
TBH, I doubt many of them are even genuinely attracted to such ludicrous designs - it's the symbolism of it. It's a statement. A design like the one posted says "We don't care what Feminists think. We don't want their kind here."
That'd be totally fine, this thread is already welcoming of this discussion too anyway :)

Wait so how do they handle it? Everything I've seen in English trailers has been accented English, and when I play the game it's probably going to be in Japanese.
They do general "Asian" accents. But they're not Japanese. At least not consistently. Basically my point was that I heard an NPC who sounded exactly like a fake Chinese accent the same actress did like 20 years ago and that is what made me look it up to see if that is who she was. And it was.
They resemble idols, but are more just Japanese Youtubers in digital costumes. They have a lot more creative freedom to go so far as lewd/crude humor. I just hope they're forbidden from irl relationships.

I found an amazing mod for Monster Hunter World.
Alternative Female Armor
Replaces a lot of the female armors (mainly leg armor) with a more form-fitting armor, inspired by the male counterpart.
Her Cadence of Hyrule design was nice too.
Although worth noting we do have this thread, which is sadly not as active:
Diversity and Inclusion in Videogames |OT| Because it Matters OT
A study, conducted by EA’s Global Consumer Insights team, was published recently that aimed to analyze what inclusion means to players. It is a great study, with a lot of interesting takeaways, but I suspect for many the conclusions are confirmations of what they already knew. And that is...
Would be cool.
Better than this.

Considering how bland the main character has been so far, Masako has been a real standout since her introduction. Ive always been a sucker of the badass old women archetypes in stories, and they absolutely hit it out of the park with her character.
I am playing in japanese and one aspect I love about her in that dub is that she goes ape shit at times. She's got a battle cry and everything. During her quests I sometimes can't even decide if want to go ghost or samurai cause she just charges in like a killing machine screaming at them to fight her and does kill them easily.
Yeah, I agree this thread should be primarily for women and about women. Was just reminding everyone that the other thread does exist and it's a shame it has less activity.
I'd be fine with that. I'll check with other female staff just in case but I can't imagine why anyone would object. And as an aside I'm glad this thread keeps going strong that we might need an OT3, damn <3
This is probably why I retreat from most discussions outside of this thread. Even here (here being Era holistically, not this thread specifically), very few people, relatively speaking, are all that interested in actual progress, video games or otherwise. They're not outright hateful, typically, but that's not really the same as demanding change. I'd tend to call it polite centrism. Not necessarily interested in change, but maybe (sadly it's just a maybe) don't shout at people who ask for it, thanks.
I love Lady Masako, especially when you do her quests more and find out

So it's not just me, I almost came in here yesterday to champion this game. How the hell did the Sony devs step up the female representation so well this gen? You got Aloy, Ellie, Abby, Masako and Yuna, even Chloe. They're all 10/10's I hope they can keep this up for next gen because I've been loving it.
Of. Fucking. Course.
Tomb raider, multiple resident evils, portal, metroid, etc.
Of. Fucking. Course.
To be honest, when Odyssey entered development the AC franchise was dying. Syndicate and Rogue flopped hard.
Of. Fucking. Course.
Yeah, for Unity that had 4 assassin's at once, but they were all generic dudes.
