So are the game developers just bad at their job when it came to character creation or are they catering to this "everyone is beautiful in their own way" narrative?

People like aesthetically pleasing games and that includes the characters. No one wants to play as some fugly 2 out of 10 chick or some fat loser slob male character.

There’s a lot to consider with how character design has changed in recent years.

Seems like it’s not off putting to have physically fit, objectively attractive men characters but women have to be covered up at a minimum and made to look unappealing in some cases.

Seems like it’s a sour grapes overtly feminist urge to dissuade objectification. A means of subverting the male gaze, I guess?

In reality, it seems to give off the impression that men are the superior sex who have no issue being jacked AF and presenting male dominant traits while women are forced to cover up and are often uggos. Seems like Muslim style social conservatism with extra steps. What a surprise, the only thing radical feminists hate more than men are other women.

i think its because younger artists, designers, and developers are coming of age who were raised with different ideals and aesthetics. i guess thats what they like. dont know why maybe it reflects what their peers like more too?
