Concord - robots with pronouns

Talking about degenerate cartoon coomer sites like it's an achievement to have characters from ones IP drawn by pervert sick fucks.
If people like the character it is an inevitable fate for better or worse. When Overwatch first came out it was basically it's own category of porn because there was so much of it. Would it be considered an achievement of character design that Concord was spared such a fate?
 
If I were to guess what demographic plays the least videogames, it would be black women.
It's not for black women exactly. They read the stories of farmville, candycrush and realise white women will pay obscene amounts of money with no questions in a video game. So they are trying to appeal to white women, not black women, on the understanding that white women are liberal and enjoy this type of ideology. Its the disconnect of the liberal bubble living hitting the actual real world.
 
No. I don’t know if she’s identifying as trans or enby or what, but regardless she’s a true and honest woman. Even voiced some magical girl characters in dubs if I recall correctly
Ah, then there might be some mix-up with the new troon witch character then because some people have been saying that BH's VA is actually a man identifying as a woman.

Regardless, I found the lip-service and enforcement of pronouns Respawn and the voice actress around the character pretty annoying, to the point that Bloodhound 'ambiguous gender' is not because they're a mysterious character in the way that is interesting for a sci-fi setting, but rather to make a point for our current day ideology. In futuristic setting, you can do a lot more interesting storytelling with gender and identity due to technology and cultural changes we don't have today. I don't know how capable of biotech APEX lore is, but for a setting with space travel and robots, I'm sure you can alter your sexual characteristics beyond the magic word of 'I identify as' and mainlining horse piss.

I've made a similar point regarding Joan Lambert in Alien, it's set in the future, actual sex change might be possible, people will do that and move on with their lives - but nah, troons gotta claim her as another trans representation. Hell, you can actually create physiological profile that doesn't fit typical male or female too if the technology allows, but the focus on representation means that any gender deviations in fiction has to be framed through early 21st century western country lenses.

Not so much an achievement as a point that a character without a body or face still somehow has that kind of fanart. Whereas Concord doesn’t have much if any at all even though the bodies and faces are clearly visible. How does someone fail that hard at character design?
 
Not to mention his mech looks cool and him being hidden lets people fill in the face of the hotshot ace inside. I don't think his voice and attitude can save him if he stepped out of the mech looking like this...

Also despite appearing as just a voice and a logo in AC6, ALLMIND has fan art and some rule 34 too. And she doesn't have much personality other than being an AI assistant who is very professional and is up to some stuff in the background. People can endear themselves to a character with very little.
Hell there’s fan art of Eagle 1 even though she’s little more than a stratagem.

@RandallBoggs Don't forget the huge amount of thirst over Philip Graves, although this could also be an intersection between that character's fans and the fans of the voice actor Warren Kole. He appears as any other NPC in the game, definitely not naked (3rd thumbnail), but they have no issues unclothing him as the 1st and 2nd ones show...
I seriously can't believe that CoD, the franchise that used to be stereotyped with dudebro fans has tons of fujos now. I know some existed back in the og CoD:MW days but it's super surreal to see. I guess pandering to fags roped in the women?

You better NOT look up Soap X Ghost fanfics and fan arts. I suspect that this is because of YouTube and TikTok playing all those cutscenes like they are movies. Graves admittedly did have some pretty kick ass scenes in the updated Modern Warfare 2 so one can thirst over him without even playing the game for a second.
 
It looks like Concord is getting a sequel:
Boy are people excited for it

How many times has this happened so far?
Lawbreakers by Bosskey Productions (headed by CliffyB) which died pretty quickly after it came out. It was released in August 2017 and went offline permanently in September 2018.

There was Crucible from Amazon back in early 2020 that was aborted before it was released out of open beta

Hyenas by Sega - closed beta in 2022 and it too was aborted later that year before it came out.

We're at peak live service slop. Publishers are basically just competing with themselves.
Seriously, how many of these "games" do these fuckers expect people to play on a regular basis?

I feel like in futuristic sci-fi setting, you can do a lot more interesting storytelling with the concept of gender or even identity because of the changing social norms and technology. I don't know how capable of biotech APEX lore is, but for a setting with space travel and robots, I'm sure that there are more aspects to gender that's beyond the magic word of 'I identify as' and mainlining horse piss.

I've made a similar point regarding Joan Lambert in Alien, it's set in the future, there could be very well a technology to actually change your sex, people will do that and move on with their lives - but nah, troons gotta claim her as trans representation.

It’s a little funny now that I think about it. In the Apex universe the year is 2700-something, the medical technology to bring people back from the brink of death is as simple and effective as, for example, x-ray imaging would be today compared to the 1800s. It’s possible to transfer a person’s consciousness into a robot body. Genetic enhancements are a regular feature of pilots.

And yet… they still haven’t figured out proper and convincing SRS procedures :story:

It wouldn't even be hard to clone a new body and transplant your brain into it, and boom, you're legit true and honest women or men or whatever you like. You can probably gene mod your brain for chromosome consistency too.

But no, SRS ritual and telling people to use your pronouns is what it is.
 
Speaking of Fairgame$/Robin Hood, what was that cringe modern day Canadian Robin Hood show? I don't remember the name but Kiwifarms has a thread for it.
 
How the FUCK does a massive corp like Sony look at Hyenas crash and burn last year and then say "I want to do that"!
Fairgame$ and Hyenas felt more like the companies internal reactions to "The Finals" concept, forgetting that it's success is due to it being free-to-play. Just watch the debut trailer for the game and you'll see a lot of overlapping themes.
