Dove seems to be trying to draw a line between 'Sexualization' and 'Fat'.

It is possible to be slim while not sexualized. Also possible to be fat and sexualized.

Or the easiest solution is let devs design their characters however they want, if western devs want design their characters fat & ugly then let them and Japanese devs wants design their characters good looking & sexy then they also should be free to do so.

If devs lose the freedom to make what they want to make then this industry is really fucked.

 

[lukilladog]

I would recommend real soap to people who transpirate a lot, crazy.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Sounds like 74% of women need to hit the fucking gym.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Oh please, get real.

This is why I keep telling myself to stick to Japanese games that haven't been too affected by this nonsense

 

[Danjin44]

Big Mama doesn’t!

 

[Fuz]

Daily reminder that "sexualization" doesn't mean shit.

 

[Majormaxxx]

FOR FUCKS SAKE

 

[Nvzman]

When the fuck has any modern western game had a sexualized female in it for the past 5+ years?
Additionally, how come instead of just showing a normal everyday woman, they choose to follow the "its okay to be an unhealthy fatass" angle?
Modern corporations, man these people just can't help themselves lol

 

[Majormaxxx]

"Stereotypes" a.k.a. people with a normal body mass index.

 

[Mozzarella]

LOL, pretty sure gamer girls love to play as hot chicks, i have a group of friends where we play League of Legends and in that group we have 4 girls who play only female champions and only the sexy ones like Kaisa, Caitlyn, Kata, Miss Fortune, Evelynn, Ahri and Lux.
All sexy champions with very feminine skins and features, not a single one of them plays Illaoi for example, actually the only one who plays Illaoi is a dude lol. (she's good in lane)

Most girls i know indeed prefer to play a female character, but they want them to be hot, girls want to be hot and pretty, and these ads are full of shit, propaganda to trick the idiots on their side that they are morally correct and do what needs to be done, when the case is not like this at all.

Just go to any MMO out there and see what female gamers tend to play/roleplay as. You will NOT be surprised

 

[Wildebeest]

Games are just an easier target than social media influencers. Very lazy publicity stunt.

 

[UnNamed]

Well, let's see...

I'm not a huge warrior with big muscles...
I don't fight ancient dragons...
I'm not the last chance for humanity and I would not travel the world helping people and save the world...
I'm pretty bad at football despite I'm italian...
I'm not a woman space marine, and I'm not a woman too...

I would say 90% of the games don't represent males as well.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Indeed.

Also notice how many of these "body positivity" feminists salivate over movies like Magic Mike and Fifty Shades?

Hmm, wonder why that might be.

The engrossing plot?

Same reason men used to (past tense since it got all FUBARed amongst the totally not a culture war conspiracy) Playboy solely for the articles.

The problem with the internet is that the 0,01% of people who actually give a shit about this can make a shitstorm that sometimes even can influence share prices. So companies act overcautious to not piss off some Karens.

Quite right. I know I used to sneak into my parents bathroom where my dad kept his poorly hidden collection of Playboy magazines so I could read them to be intellectually stimulated.

 

[Moriarty1889]

What's the virtue?

Do you really need me to explain it to you?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

if western devs want design their characters fat & ugly then let them and Japanese devs wants design their characters good looking & sexy then they also should be free to do so.

They won’t because even Western devs know fatties don’t sell and making decisions that purposely reduce your profit can get you sued in the US.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Your dad did that on purpose. He hid them just enough to trigger the excitement of discovery in his young lad.

Good dad!

 

[darrylgorn]

Do you really need me to explain it to you?

Yes lol

 

[Umbasaborne]

Obesity is so cool! Why doesnt dove advocate for more smokers in gaming next?

 

[93xfan]

Brilliant. More surface area means you need to use more soap.

If you encourage your base to get fat, you can make more sales without having to attract any new customers.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

The part everyone should really worry about..

"Unreal Engine education team"

Woke indoctrination, in other words.

 

[Icymanipulator]

What the hell does a soap company even have any business making any kind of social commentary at all. You sell fucking soap. Shut the fuck up. Jfc. Smh. I never used their products before, but now I will actively avoid.

Not everything under the sun has to have a cause or be “fighting” for something. And it’s plainly obvious that most of these companies are just desperately trying to ride whatever train they think will increase sales. It’s extremely disingenuous.

There's a conspiracy, alright, and it's not a theory. At all.

We're going to see more 'Bud light' situations in gaming going forward arent we..

They're coming arent they..

 

[93xfan]

This did it guys.

I like thicc women now.

Thank you Dove for helping me see the light.

Enjoy the light while it’s not being blocked out.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yep. Sadly, so.

 

[ChoosableOne]

This guy totally represents me

 

[PeteBull]

If He-man was created in modern times his name would be He/Man.

Funny coz so true, he would be trans too ofc, competing vs women only

 

[Guilty_AI]

Time to cleanse your eyes and mind a bit after getting this far

He better work on his lung stamina and capacity as well because oxygen becomes a scarce and precious resource.

Ok, given the workout potential, now you're making me give this some serious thought.

Fortunately, Japan doesn't seem to give a fuck about our so-called puritan movement.

 

[skyfall]

Yes we are, even if it's not good PR, or doesn't make a profit.

Some people try and say ''oh the anti woke crowd think there's an agenda, but this just is about capitalism''.

The recent bud light backlash is a case study example of this not being true, business leaders and marketers said this stuff is going to be pushed even if it doesn't work:

[BacklashWave534]

I know the left has a difficult time with this but hot women typically love showing off their hot bodies and men typically like seeing them. We also like seeing hot women in videogames. Honestly i'm done with this shit. These companies can learn the hard way.

Nextgen DOA when?
Bring back tag and the Soft Engine.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Yeah, that part worries me.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Hey, this is not "sexualized" as well.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Let the market decide. Final fantasy Tifa versus Dove land whale.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Hey, this is not "sexualized" as well.

i will sexualize it in my mind with my male gaze

 

[Ishma3L]

I don't think obese is beautiful either. How about a middle ground? I wish Dove was more concerned with healthy lifestyles and the growing diabetes epidemic.

It certainly will help buckle an already strained healthcare system.

 

[Kdad]

"This is what it sounds like, when Dove cry."

 

[Brock2621]

LOL coming from a company that's raked in BILLIONS of dollars from helping women sexualize themselves while at the same time seeding inadequacy in order to tear down their self esteem and then shell a product to "fix" it. What a joke...

 

[E-Cat]

Doesn't pointing out to people and saying "hey, we got these ugly chicks, not your sexualized characters", kinda make things worse?

Yeah, because ugly cannot be sexualized by default. Unless you're a deviant.

 

[Games of Today]

Dude. LMFAO. This certainly won't turn into Rule 34.
