Not sure why "lets give them the proportions of bobbleheads" was ever considered a sound design decision lol

We're honestly asking about how they managed to make heads too big on the heels of Concord design decisions?

they are dumb enough to think that elective top surgery scars are the same as mastectomy scars

Bloody hell, these people live in one demented bubble to even compare some mentally ill freak's elective self-mutilation to breast cancer.

Their cult ideology has really rotted their brains into this kind of ridiculous display.
They are making these games for people who don't play the games but talk about the games and review the games, and for ESG money. It's the reason why "Get Woke/Go Broke" became an Iron Law, because those people don't like the hobbies they tourist and occupy. It's about ideological capture.

If they actually bought and played the games in significant numbers, then the Based would be dinosaurs and while we could probably find communities that catered to us, no one would care. The games that had zipper tits, Crimson Chins, and flat asses, Body types 1 and 2 rather than Male and Female, those games would dominate mindshare and sales.

But instead, these tiny minorities with loud voices take over media vantage points and make every effort to ensure their viewpoints become dominate, not to enrich the hobby or give back but to dominate and drown out. So they become DEI developers and HR queens, "Games Journalists" and VPs and now we get shit game after shit game It's most obvious in Games development but its a general trend across a large number of tech industry fields, execution across many, many corps sucks these days.
They'll continue to then blame everyone who they were repeatedly telling that the games/movies/shows aren't made for, while the mythical "modern audience" continues to be a sample size of their own reflection in the mirror.

Based on what's coming out with Concord, the same "safe space" group has merely hunkered down down behind criticism-free development environments that is now being called "toxic positivity." The result is that they're unwilling to accept any criticism like the mental children they are, and that obviously clashes with genuine artistic pursuit, so they will only continue to destroy anything they touch while crying the victim when they inevitably fail.
*made a medieval fantasy lore game
*inserts present day politics and plastic surgery

Modern day western AAA lol. Imagine buying this shit.
People should be publicly shamed for supporting this dreck because they're contributing to the speedrun towards Rainbow Idiocracy.

I’ve said this before in a movie thread but the woke movement will self-destruct eventually. The refusal to accept any sort of feedback/criticism means that they’ll never improve and make the same mistake over and over again.

Being able to accept criticism and then work to fix what’s being criticized is the basis for improvement.

I think it's far more likely your taxes will subsidize it than it will self destruct. It will be taken out of the hands of the insane vanguard, but by then it will be institutionalized.

It's not different than the Politically Correct movement in the late 80s/early 90s - people eventually got sick of it. Then conservatives thought "that means they want our shit!". Nope, people got sick of that shit too.

Amazing that most people fall in the middle and don't like extremes on either end

It's kind of impressive how dedicated Cybsled is to bringing up "conservatives" or "evangelicals" when people are trying to bitch about woke trash.

Just pointing out the cycle of history to support his argument, but also providing context for people salivating at a 180 swing to the opposite spectrum

Yea bro it's just the cycle of history, perfectly normal for women to saw their tits off and for this to be a character option in games. It's just a minor aesthetic thing.

DA4 was probably too far into development for them to change course. Gonna guess that EA is just going to take the L and use it as a reason to finally completely shutter Bioware, then everyone will blame toxic fandom right on que. After the woke shitpile that was Andromeda, I won't even be bothering to watch vids that make fun of the game.

at what point in this cycle did it swing back? "just like the pc movement of the 90s" and 2000, and 2010's. it never went away. it only got worse and worse. occupy wallstreet was 2011.
comic book industry was overrun by 2005.

The closest thing to slowing it down, was 9/11/2001. and that didn't stop it. it was just a massive distraction. hell, it probably just enabled the march through institutions, as everyone was busy looking elsewhere.

You're right the PC stuff never went fully away, but it retracted a lot after significant pushback during the time period I outlined because it was getting out of control in the eyes of the general population.

I mean this Kids in the Hall sketch was from 30+ years ago



Occupy wallstreet was more of a socio-economic thing initially

Comic book industry was hurting bad in 2005 - most of those changes could probably be attributed to desperate attempts to try to attract new marketshare since the core market was drying up. You're still years away from the first Ironman movie and the eventual comic book movie resurgence that rode the coattails of that

Cyb you are conflating political correctness with family values/moral majority shit from that era. The former was tied to it only because both were attempting to censor shit to fit an agenda. In the case of PC Culture shit, that was the brainchild of Tipper Gore and the first wave of wokeness to hit mainstream. It was Dems trying to get music and other shit they did not like (very heavy emphasis on the language control) banned or changed. The Holy Rollers were more about cultural values conforming to their religion and pushing those values on society at large. Both are bad, but really hindsight being what it is making people not act like baby murdering degenerates was probably not such a bad idea. Its just that the Holy Rollers were such kooks and kept getting caught in scandals to the point where they got laughed out of the discussion. The PC Culture never went away and the left kept tossing logs on the fire with more and more race riots (Rodney King ring any bells? OJ Simpson Trial?) that persist and grow into the present.

Ok, now's the time where you show conservatives said "now they want our shit" and it was ever popular? This is the typical liberal idiocy. Your side pushes 100% garbage, retreats for a bit when it finally gets push back, blames conservatives while you start the next push for utter garbage and degeneracy. At no point has it gone completely back. We can only hope for that point but we are way left today of traditional conservatism...and I think you are smart enough to know that but could be wrong.

Conservative resets only occur when a civilization is stripped to its basic needs. Hard Times meme is real. So we are talking an actual war where the soy fags have to fight and/or live off of what we can ration likely with China turning the internet off. Or an actual large scale economic collapse. These bubble pops where usury siphon fake money away from the normies to team Tribe are not real hardship. Food supply chain breaking down due to war or infrastructure collapse will be the literal come to Jesus moment.

I’m not on the “liberal side” - I just heavily dislike people under the banner of religion trying to shove shit down people’s throats because bearded skyman supposedly demands it. The conservative side of the spectrum gives too much weight to that bullshit
