[CW: Objectifying men as satire] Bit idea: Complaining that the male characters in games chuds like aren't hot enough (hexbear.net)

Complain about every wrinkle, hair, flat ass and lack of an enormous bulge until Chuds realise how fucking unhinged they sound (they won't)

"Yeah, I was going to play Red Dead Redemption 2 but then I saw they pandered to the woke crowd by making the protagonist ugly and old. Who want's to play as some flat-assed old man?

Extra points for making some unhinged chart doing bulge phrenology by comparing various male characters. Also complain that every grizzled white dude with gun isn't an anime cat boy.

I've seen attempts at this (not for video games specifically but beauty standards in general) and the incelsphere response is that women are valued for their visual signifiers of fertility whereas men are valued for their ability to provide security and resources. But of course that doesn't explain why they are so hyperfocused on their own looks and how it ranks up to other males.
