Rockstar, we need to talk ...
(I know nobody from rockstar games will ever read that but I don't care)
I don't know if anyone else feels bothered by it.. But..
I want to say something... Rockstar put so much in their world, everything felt soo real and..
I didn't even noticed how much it.. Bothered me but..
We only see 'slim' or 'average' women in rdr2 (I don't want to shame their body type, they look great, I don't want to say otherwise or anything rude about that)
But it's.. Just.. Not really.. I mean, if it's realistic that people like Bill or Pearson, especially Pearson run with an outlaw gang without being 'fit'.. Why no woman?
Why is every damn women in the camp slim..?
Why isn't someone like Sadie not stronger in their build? More visible muscles instead of just a small slim body like everyone else?
I sound like a teenager, but it really speaks to my insecurities.
I mean.. Beauty standards are changed between time periods soo much and I bet people in the camp don't care about that either..
But.. I feel dumb cause it even affects the way I feel.. It shouldn't.
Rockstar failed to show diffrent types of women bodies, no bigger women, no women with more muscles, nothing.
And I don't want to don't say it.. I end up slimming every person I let interact with them (stories, imagination) down, cause everything else 'doesn't fit'?!
Come on, that's entirely not true.
I don't know why I'm posting that, maybe because it really affects my feelings today.. Because it feels like I lost all of my knowledge about beauty standards in those time periods and how much entirely irrelevant they would've been when you're on the god damn run..
But I just needed to say something.. It's way too emotional and it doesn't have a real point neither..
But please: nobody should think their value is tied to their body. Not to the shape not if they are beautiful. We don't need to be attractive or beautiful to be someone, and we don't need to slim neither 'having curves' or anything else to be attractive.
People always wanted to judge women for her body. They wanted money and that 'we' (the women in their time period) buy stuff. Stuff that made they thinner or heavier, stuff that give their curves or reduces them, just so they can get some money.
That's all. It's all about money, not about worth, not even about real attraction. It's just about 'we can make money if we tell women they have to change'
So idk, please just.. We need to represent all kind of people in media.. And we need to criticize the lack of it, even in our favorite medias..
(off topic: I really need to get my mental health together, damn)
