Video game characters?

Often times female groups will come out and say "so and so's tits are too large or her hips are realistically shaped" and I'm wondering since this is (primarily) a male filled gaming site if any of you are offended or upset by the unrealistic body shapes of male characters.?

Personally I'm not offended, quite the opposite actually. I use it as motivation, for New Years I promised myself I'd get in better shape. Sure I can't look like Kratos but I can sure as hell try to lose weight and get to a point where I'm considered a healthy weight. Sure I'm in a special situation where stuff like fat shaming and unrealistic portrayals of men motivation, others not so much.

No I could really care less because at the end of the day its just a freaking video game, the game character can look like an adult actress or the complete opposite and I still wouldn't be slightly bothered by their appearance.

While I'm not offended, I think it would be cool if they could add other body types and whatnot to leading roles. It gets dumb seeing a great majority of characters' body types being so typical (for either gender.)

I have yet to ever give a shit what VIDEO GAME characters look like, male or female

Anita Sarkeesian really needs to leave the gaming industry for even starting this "issue".

Interesting, well to hell with her role in it either way. Such a waste of time and effort in my opinion.
