@@mohannadalshamrani199gmail Yeah, but I mean it's the actual choice of selecting people--who probably look normal in real life--and uglifying their in-game models OR intentionally picking unattractive people and having them in a fantasy setting. I can understand if they're villains or something like that, but going out of your way to present ugly is some weird modern cultural thing. Trying to subvert the idea of what people want to see. In a comedy, normal or even unattractive people work like in Shrek or Ghostbusters where the idea is that the protagonist(s) are normal people that we can sometimes laugh at or with. Typically, in an action or fantasy setting, you want to live vicariously through the characters and not see the kinds of people you'd see in line at Walmart.

There's definitely _some_ kind of agenda, like I feel it's possibly linked the whole 'accept everyone' social politics stuff like yeah that's good I guess but it doesn't reflect reality 1:1, people just naturally gravitate and want to associate with what they find visually appealing, be it art, genre, or people...
