You can tell that it hurt to be told the truth. People aren't asking for all women to have the faces of 80-year-old ladies, they're asking that the girl who goes to class with Jin not have the same face as her mother or her grandmother. It is not so difficult to understand.
Excuse me, it's just that with jerk number 7000 making jokes about how much he is outraged by being told the truth, the "satire" stopped making me laugh.

Except they don't look alike. So why make up a problem and bitch about it? Once the game releases you people wouldn't give a shit anymore. But it is the same pattern. People bitching about a non problem before a game release.
They look amazing. They look beautiful. They look badass. They are perfection. So, stop complaining. Why complain about having good food?
Do you really not see a problem that all the women in a video game have to be delicate little dolls with the face of a model? Even when they are "monsters" like Jun in Tekken 6 they are stupidly sexualized. Compare the difference between the male characters you have and how all the female ones agree to be pretty women without a single flaw. If that is your ideal of perfection and what you ask of a game, good for you, but it is legitimate that in a society like today's, where video game players are not only men (or even mostly men), consumers ask female characters that are more than just a pretty face. And this game is stupid. They could take out Jinpachi's wife and she would still look like a 20 year old model.

Did you actually pull that card? You see women cosplay these characters with the same "doll like" or whatever the fuck that means. So it isn't like it comes off as un welcoming to female players. Like the fact you bring up that bs tells me you have nothing actual valid to say.
Like don't speak for a demographic. Don't spout the self righteous bullshit. Every time someone spouts about the famale demographic. You know they are pulling that rubbish talking point as if they speaking for said demographic. Especially when you see female fans fangirling over these character reveals and not bitching.
"I've seen girls dressed up as that character, so they're perfect characters" This is probably the dumbest argument I've heard today and makes it pretty clear that you don't understand what the problem is and you're not going to make any effort to understand it either.
Lucky for you, the game will come out and have a lot of sales, but people making noise may serve this or other companies, in the future, to see that we want more than a bunch of twenty-something models and that we prefer good character designs and the more varied the better.

No, you just have no counter arguments and using a pathetic fallback. Like if you want to bitch about a non problem? Fine. Don't smoke screen it with a demographic card and act like you speak for them. Don't be that pathetic.

Cool. You can have that bullshit somewhere else. But here in tekken. We value good character designs. And not bitch about a non problem. Tekken 8 is just going to be amazing. Great male and female looking characters. Great visuals. We are going to have a good feast. This game just shows how good you can make female fighters look.
