I did not say that’s the point in why she is bad. I noted that part of the problem was her being entirely unrecognizable.
You are making this one statement the heart of the issue for convenience of argument. We can agree to disagree that she would be more recognizable as Liadrin specifically but she would objectively be more recognizable as a blood elf.
A typical response might be that it’s very common to blame workers and lay them off randomly rather than admit to a badly thought out management decision. If female characters now have square jaws it’s probably because someone higher up thinks it makes them look “strong”, just as in real life where a lot of politically connected people, male and female, have similar jaw enlarging surgery to give them a “strong” presence.
You said you couldn’t distinguish her from any other elf.
I pointed out that with these changes you still would not be able to
If you want to argue some low quality air brished variation would have been better. Fine. I don’t care. It’s irrelevant to anything I have been saying.
But she isn’t, she’s still just some random feminist who talks about women’s portrayal in different forms of media and has no power
The only power she has is that after gamers relentlessly harassed her, she started to get invited to events to talk about the harassment she got. And a bunch of gamers would send bomb threats to those events.
Look at art from hearthstone that has her art. Chin and face has a defined slenderness. Lips should be thin and small. Hairstyle should have more volume. Her shoulders are way to broad for an elf.
back in those days there was a huge push on the way women look in video games. too pretty meant its for the male gaze so gotta make them less feminine etc
Look at her new in game model comparison to the cinematic. She should have blood elf specific features. That’s part of the problem she doesn’t even look elven aside from the eyebrows and ears.
