what the fuck was wrong with people back then?

it's for the sake of this so called "wider audience", which exists only in the heads of market analysts. and in order to appeal to the largest demographics possible, of course you need to iron the quirks and traits of your characters to make them as bland as possible. what if a 45yo soccer mom wants to play mortal kombat? sonya can't relate to her, cause sonya is stacked and built like a statue and the soccer mom has pregnancy scars and saggy A cups. of course, people with a shred of intelligence know the difference between them and a videogame character, but since idiots comprise the vast majority of humanity, you need self insertions in order for the cattle to enjoy your product.

too bad mortal kombat is too niche and nobody plays fighters except for niggers and esport tryhards.
