Is it illegal to be an attractive woman? Given some talk around the Bayonetta-esque game, maybe.
Is it illegal to modify the body of video game characters, especially if they are female and not White? Apparently?
Even though the lead developer used scans of his own wife as the base for the protagonist, with some alterations because it’s a stylized game–the eyes are the biggest tell, in my opinion–some have taken umbrage with her unrealistic body.
The chat praised the show for the dedication to the source material while creating a new story; something we rarely see in IPs. Chieftain commented on the gore and violence, something Soda and Hiro assured him was because of the game mechanics.
If you saw the man’s wife, you’d find that she looks very, very close. Did they make her eyes more doe-like? Yes–look at popular Korean art and models and you’ll see that they emphasize the eyes and go for a very fresh, dewy makeup look. They like the long legs and slim proportions. Is the game model exaggerated? Yes, but not overly so, like Chun-Li or Poison.
And, about racism, Korea has been making waves in pop culture through music and games, so having a beautiful, techno-woman is great marketing. She idealizes their beauty standards. Sounds like the opposite of racism.
Now, do I like jiggle physics? No–but I’m not the audience and if that pleases the players, that’s great.
