It's so crazy to me how men on the internet always discuss women as though it's impossible to speak to us. Like just speculating on "do women do X?" "what do women think about Y?" .... have you ever considered talking to a woman
no no no, you see, if you ask a woman anything like that to their face, they'll lie to you because of the universal Woman Conspiracy that specifically exists to fuck with you. like, this isn't even some incel shit, theres a whole completely accepted genre of boomer joke about "ugh why won't your wife tell you her problems/how she feels (don't worry, its just Feeeemale Disease)" ((protip: she almost certainly has, you just didn't like what she said))
but yeah no you can't ask women anything because of the Women Illuminati we're all in, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was waiting to cross an intersection the other day and a dude behind me turns to his friend and says "Bro, I'm telling you, a woman's sweat smells exactly like her vagina."

Lmao holy shit, it's like a waterballoon full of jello around a spring. That's like early 2000s "we just invented jiggly bones but haven't nailed down the details yet" level animation.
I really don't mind if games want to do jiggle to be honest but this shit just looks bad, give it weight.
And I mean this for like, the entire body, facial animations too. If we shake our faces around or a strong gust of wind hits us our face MOVES, it's not a solid block of carved plastic, it's elastic. Skin hangs, gravity exists, our faces look different lying down vs standing up because gravity hangs parts of our face, this applies to boobs, fat all over the body, etc etc.
Give it real weight and gravity and it will look good and play a role in genuinely elevating the animation of the entire character. This shit sucks it's not progressed at all in over 15 years.
Upon cursory inspection it appears that this is not how bobs move in real life, but I will need a real life sample to compare against. Again, just for science.
Upon further research, looks like Stellar Blade (the game said footage is from) is the latest game chuds have decided is "theirs", ala Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hatred, etc.
Though this time it's even dumber, since they're doing the game version of the forced Sydney Sweeney discourse, where they act like conventionally attractive women are extinct/it's illegal to be attracted to them.
As these things always go: If the game does well, they'll take credit and proclaim it a victory over the "wokes". And if it does poorly: They'll either say that the sjws rigged the system against it or it just wont be acknowledged.

I think the Gamers are sort of half-right in that blatant objectification is much less common now than it used to be two console generations ago and that there is an active attempt to make games that are more diverse and representative as opposed to games that give boners to a certain type of dude.
I also believe that game companies know that if they put out a major AAA game where every female character looked and jiggled like Mai Shiranui they would probably get made fun of on Twitter and an editorial on Polygon calling them out on sexual objectification and they just want to avoid the bad publicity.
Of course, you'd also equally get blue checkmark s calling them epic and based on Twitter and articles on Gamer outlets praising them for standing up to the woke agenda, not to say anything of the hundreds of Youtube videos doing the same.
I think it just really eats at them that despite how loud and annoying they get, large video game companies still know that exclusively pandering to a niche audience of horny nerds just doesn't make financial sense
—They're bigger than that, Chris, they're large, I mean, if you've got an anatomy book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The anatomy books now will have to be rewritten.
—What will they say?
—They'll quite simply say that this isn't fanservice, this is actual realistic boob physics, everything else would be a footnote.
—We're pushed for time, can you sum it up in a word?
