These are some good quotes here, and I realize this is slightly off topic but:
The whole thing with Aloy having peach fuzz.
I just... I still cannot get over that.
How... how is it even possible that a great number of people who ostensibly clamored for more realistic graphics... screamed and cried about peach fuzz on a young woman.
The... seemingly the only possible explanation is that they had simply never actually seen a girl or womans face up close.
It still just shocks me that that outburst was even a thing that could possibly happen.
Like, I am an autistic and often socially awkward guy, a video gamer through and through since the 90s.
But I've had female platonic friends my whole life, and girlfriends.
And I know that girls/women, -shock horror- even many young guys and young men have peach fuzz!
Fucking baffles me still to this day.
You're just PANDERING to the WOKE feminist HERE on LEMMY. Just ACCEPT your MASCULINITY and STOP PANDERING!!1 /s
I have unironically received exactly that kind of criticism for having this opinion before, and I have received it from incel misogynist men, as well as seemingly misguided women and individuals of all kinds of different non cis genders.
Both of these kinds of people have accused me of being performatively baffled, as if i am simply doing this disingenuously to build a cult social media following or something.
EDIT: Elsewhere on the internet, not here on lemmy.
I don't doubt it. That is why I made sure to add the sarcasm tag, despite adding capitals on multiple words.
Lemmy has its share of assholes, I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened to you here either.
So far not yet, and I do appreciate the sarcasm tag.
