Looks like the 'uglification' of female characters is real.

Nothing was confirmed other than two artists saying they've had push backs on their models. Also, just play a game. There's plenty of attractive women in games. Sorry if not literally every single woman looks like a supermodel anymore.

Also odd that the title directly contradicts itself by saying it's specifically black women, in their experience, which would be an entirely different issue.

Also odd that the article mentions The Last of Us Pt 2. That game has a lot of conventionally attractive women. I assume they're talking about one character in particular. And she wasn't made less attractive, she's just a butchy woman. That's pretty core to her character.

Odd that they didn't mention the new Fable which is where I've heard the most whining. Then again I've heard whining from Stellar Blade of all games.

Who is the Batman character they're complaining about anyways? Is it Harley? Wtf are they getting at with that pic?
