still not over this game @elisestormwright - Tumblr Blog

Had these sketchy color studies of Enia lying around ~ I cleaned them up a bit to post 'em but you can still tell I was focused more on experimenting with colors than I was on anatomy or detail. ._.

The amount of "body positive" and "tolerant" people in the SSO community enraged that others want also to be represented says a lot about them.

As a person who struggle a lot with my weight, lived almost all my childhood overweighted and body shamed, also shamed by some body positivity people ( ok almost all the ones I met) when I try to loose weight, I can tell that you guys are as toxic as the ones who fat shamed people.

Is it too much to ask to have a large representation? I don't think so.

Is it wrong to say that you don't find a body pleasant and you don't want YOUR character looking like that? No. As long as you don't use insulting terms, it's not.

Is it wrong to expect to find something to represent you in an update about including more body types? No, it's supposed to be the goal.

Is it wrong to accuse everyone of fat phobia just because they say that getting rid of their own body type and only offering bigger ones was wrong? Yes. Inclusivity comes for all sizes and SSE messed up once again. They had enough time to create all the body types and even an option like a slider to add more or have less curves. They had feedback, they didn't listen and went with the easy option. This update was just another poor way of using trends.

No one said that the game shouldn't offer large bodies or flat ones, just that they should provide options for everyone. That would be real inclusivity and not just a superficial way to calm down a part of their fanbase.

the way fans often criticize games is as though game devs can freely achieve whatever they want with no limitations or complications, and if they don’t do something, it’s solely due to a lack of imagination. that devs can just think things into reality. I know when you write a story or draw an art piece just for yourself, this kind of instant creation from the mind seems natural. but game creation consists of so many different parts and people and considerations. MMORPGs even have limitations on storytelling that single player games don’t, where you have to ensure the experience is somewhat balanced across players, where you have to set up for what could be a real life decade plus long continuous storyline and so drastically branching pathways that actually have any meaningful impact on the story can snowball into a ton of additional future work. and all games are different - just because one game features something good doesn’t mean it is feasible or even suitable for another. I love to spitball ideas for the game, I think it’s fun, but the truth is that it’s easy to say things and much harder to actually implement them.
