Why Modern Gaming Sucks - Ugly Characters Everywhere - OUR GLORIOUS chudlord Critical Drunker has expanded his glorious r-sluration into Gayming

There are legit reasons to have characters that don't look too attractive. Like if you were watching Breaking Bad and it was cast full of models you'd have problems taking it seriously. People irl don't look like models and it would just take you out of the immersion.

It seems like game designers and their fans don't understand the practical reasons for that choice though and consider it a moral issue that more ugly is more moral. It's a nice example of morals in general tbh, rules that has or had a practical purpose but get followed mindlessly by people who don't understand what that purpose is.
