I wish there were more beautiful boys in games π
The default male protagonist is always that masculine look. I want a twink protagonist. I want a femboy.

Very true π
Genshin Impact.
True, but it's a gacha game.
I tried running a server emulator for it, but I couldn't get logged in.

May I present to you the protagonist from the PS2 adventure game, Shadow of Memories:

is it so much to ask for a chainmail bikini on a guy for once?
Conan, Leonidas, and Kratos come close but nothing on the same level as female MMO armor

Women in Japan literally complained to Konami over Solid Snake being too gruff and not bishonen enough so Raiden was made.
Hideo Wokjima caved in to the feminists? The east has fallen. Billions must be sarin gassed
Many Japanese dudes don't seem to care for ossans too much either
And then he was a whiny loser
Hey I stan whiny Raiden in MGS 2 and his drama with his gf
I know, that's why I think it's funny that his background is so fuckin' intense
Child soldier, raised on VR to replace Solid Snake, turned into a cyborg against his will
It's funny how a commentary about whiny 
's became everyone's favorite character

Why do they talk about what women are attracted to as if they donβt hate them for not being attracted to them for not being 12/10 models?
Japanese games make male characters too pretty, western games make female characters too ugly, I think I just am a fundamentally unhappy person who is compelled to complain about shit
Synthesis: every game character should be androgynously hot
I think thatβs a pretty interesting point thatβs never brought up in Gamer Discourse. They complain how western game studios make women fat and ugly and angry while Japanese games game women feminine and busty and attractive and gushing with joy.
But they never talk about how western game studios make every male character gruff, masculine, angry, and muscular while Japanese games generally have them be twinks or just βanime guyβ with some VA whoβs emulating a high school boyβs voice.
Edit: re-read your comment and realized you basically said what I said with fewer words. I thought you said something else and I tried to expand on it lol
ngl it is pretty fucked up that even after 13 years of modding ecosystem development it is still extremely difficult (unless you replace the head mesh entirely) to make pretty boy characters and custom NPCs in Skyrim
Twink rights!
Ngl, this is lowkey the reason I still play Oblivion, can make all sorts of bodytypes there with some small modding ability.

It's really funny that reactionaries don't have a theory of mind.
I just realized I make all my characters look freakish and generally unpleasant to look at, especially in online games.
like beady-rat eyes, busted skin, cro-mag brow. in ark I made the eyes tiny and as wide set as possible. short and squat, paunchy, neckless.
it's always some combination of like derelict missing link meets yikes.
the payoff is like cut scenes and shit, because there's a generally a subtle implication in those scenes that the player character is sexy/attractive/desirable and it clashes hard with my bipedal disaster to add unintentional amusement.
Same. If a a game gives me a slider to adjust any part of my character's appearance I will treat it like an on/off button. It will end up all the way to the left or all the way to the right.
Lower jaw forward/back is not a spectrum. It is a binary.
