What's "ugly"? It's just a normal face instead of a cartoon face.
Reality has a well-known WOKE bias
Fellas, is it woke to draw a Korean woman ugly ?
No seriously, is it ? I'm so confused about what the right considers "woke" !
Simple: every time a depiction of a woman doesn't meet their standards ("I can't fap to that"), it's the woke agenda. (Cf Aloy Horizon, Ellie Last of Us, Lucy Fallout...)
I want to clarify that your comment isn't a joke or hyperbole; from what I can tell, many conservative men honestly think that if you're going to portray a woman in media, it should be for the sexual benefit of a male audience. Portraying a woman in a way that makes them less sexually appealing - even if that simply makes their portrayal more realistic and less sexually exaggerated - is considered "woke."
I may have worded it in a manner that might seem jocular (because what can you do other than laugh) but yes my comment is indeed dead serious.
Wait, Aloy Horizon and Lucy Fallout aren't considered hot ? 🤨
Guess I've been a freak this whole time without even realising it. 🤷♂️
Aloy's "redesign" in Forbidden West was met with ire, not least because certain people don't know that even cis women have facial hair. TV Ellie doesn't look like game Ellie - need I say more. Lucy's butt is apparently cause for certain people to "improve" via ~~photoshop~~ fucking AI (goddammit) AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE WOMAN'S BODY.
Edit: didn't even put in the work, just let an AI do the improving.
What is ugly about that? That is a nice drawing
Imagine having THAT kind of piece of shit thinking they're welcome as a "fan" of YOUR work.
Embarrassing. Nauseating.
Anyone who uses 'gone woke' unironically deserves total ostracization.
Are they upset because she isn't drawn in an anime style? If so yikes!
Asians? In my Korea?
