For all the noise gamers, gooners and grifters made about Angela's face looking distractingly ugly, fat, masculine or just vaguely "weird," literally no one I've seen playing the game for the first time has noticed any of these supposedly blindingly obvious qualities. Just goes to show how this shit is just mass peer-inforced self-hypnosis

Sometimes you see streamers reading comments in their chat from gamers complaining about how ugly she looks and they're just confused

This gooner phrenology shit about women's jaw shapes and bemoaning "the destruction of femininity" is a relatively recent development though. It wasn't a thing when Gamergate started 10 years ago

True. I wonder what stupid shit they'll complain about when they get tired of hating women, queers and POC?
