    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.
