>>712698712My favorite thing about these aesthetic revisionism attempts has been that they prove themselves to be brand poison more and more each year. People see these hideous blobs as representatives and simply do not engage with any attribute of the games they are attached to, even with franchises and IPs that fans normally are obsessed with. Conversely, in spite of literal year-long shrieking contests with the loudest and most vitriolic twitter denizens, people see a game with an attractive character in it and immediately look further into it, regardless of prior knowledge of the IP, the character, etc. Even in games with """Plus Size""" body sliders, less than 1% of players make bloated hambeasts, and 96% of that 1% are only doing so to make ugly meme characters to laugh at.
