I’m not even sure how much porn has to do with it. I’d bet anything that 90% of these people would not care about plain-looking female characters if they hadn’t been marinating in a massively funded, far-reaching right-wing media sphere that’s constantly telling them that the scary minorities and woke DEI conspiracy are out to destroy their precious video games.
Yeah porn is a different issue, like the chuds losing their shit over the protagonist having slightly less sexualized outfits than advertised in stellar blade

Yeah I think that’s probably a big part of it. Like with the whole recent Sidney Sweeney thing were some paparazzi got pics of her at the pool where she still looked hot by the standards of 99% of hetero men but still not as hypersexualized as in her modeling pics and so Incel creeps freaked out over it. Or people getting angry about how Ciri looked in the Witcher 4 trailer. I’m convinced they’re sort of “doing a bit”, or maybe not a “bit” per-say but that a lot of their reaction is performative, that they’re reacting this way because they feel they’re supposed to as “part of the cause”. As anti-feminist CHUDs they feel like this is how they’re supposed to react, even if they don’t genuinely feel that way.
