Microsoft’s official support website for game developers has a note urging devs not to create female characters with ‘exaggerated body proportions.’
The Microsoft support page, titled ‘Product Inclusion Action: Help Customers Feel Seen,’ lists various considerations for developers to use when working on games. As pointed out by users, the list appears to contain language condemning certain female characters as reinforcing ‘negative gender stereotypes.’
Here’s a bit under the ‘Questions to Consider’ section of the page:
Are you reinforcing any negative gender stereotypes?
- Are you unnecessarily introducing gender & gender barriers into your code or design?
- Are you creating playable female characters that are equal in skill and ability to their male peers. Are your female characters equipped with clothing and armor that fits their tasks? Do they have exaggerated body proportions?
- When the story allows, do you show male characters who display a full range of emotions, including joy, sadness, and vulnerability?
Microsoft and other Western developers have been making an effort to fight the ‘objectification’ in games and cited games such as Stellar Blade for setting ‘unrealistic beauty standards’ despite the heroine being based on a real-life model.
In any case, developer SHIFT UP has yet to back down from the pressures of Western media standards and is looking to include plenty of sexy costumes for Stellar Blade, including some that look practically naked.
Yes, we do not want exaggerated body proportions of ugly ass obese fatsos. They got that right.
The letters in DEI are independent and could be in any order.
They probably chose DEI because “its like god, agnus dei! Lol! We are gods!”
But it really is just DIE.
Cause that’s what happens to companies. Doesn’t always go quick.
Doesn’t always go very indicative.
But the trend is ALWAYS ultimately downward.
Never trust jews, and people who protect them.
ESPECIALLY when it’s ashkenazi ones or pertaining to them.
You’ll always rather want 10000 sephardim/mizrahim than ONE ashkenaz poisonling.
ALWAYS.
But ideally, they’d all be cast to the side.
Agreed, I don’t want to see exaggerated bugeyed ugly niggers either.
Nobody has been asking for “exaggerated body proportions”.
All we want, is attractive women. They aren’t mutually exclusive, but ya, the hogbeasts this industry has been infested with the past half decade, has taken its toll.
I won’t touch a game with grotesque women in it. Plain and simple. I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m done with this woke bullshit.
not only that just normal looking woman not these man looking monsters, hell the girl that makes tortillas near my house on the street look better to what we get these days in games.
Avoiding “exaggerated body proportions”… while insulting the women with said body proportions.
I regret buying an Xbox
Right there with ya sadly. I regret buying my ps5.
Also if not for you xbox buyers. Playstation owners wouldn’t have had to pay to play online on ps4. Yall literally told these greedy ass companies. We’ll pay to play online even thoughit should be free like on PC and on Playstation back then. Yall could’ve fought that bs like Japan. Now that’s the standard. Meanwhile PC players are just laughing it up at both console heads, as usual.
One can argue that the pay to play MMOs like WOW is what gave MS the idea, so the PC players aren’t particularly without blame here.
i regret buying american made eroge,they are the worst of all and woke to the core.
>buy eroge promoted as the guy getting to live with 5 horny girls.
>graphics look general type.
>first ero scene they show is the guy flaunting cock at player
>ignore it,play for 20 minutes no scenes of any girl.
>again the same bullshit as before
>delete,uninstall,boycott game,and ask refund and compensation for the suffering.
I don’t regret gaming exclusively on Linux and it’s never too late to switch gaming platforms.
I haven’t paid for a Windows in my life
This is the comment I was looking for. Linux is great, I’ve been freely creating games on Linux.
If only the users here stop complaining and actually do something about this woke cancer. Actions speak louder than words. We need FOSS more than ever.
AAA games in general (especially in the west) have turned into woke propaganda. Indie games seem to be the only ones making attractive characters anymore.
