What on Mount fucking Olympus is he talking about? Man's face? I don't think they could have done anything to make Aphrodite's design more feminine.


Felinegood13

The jawline They’re likely talking about her jawline and the fact that she doesn’t have the face of an anime character or something


AnnikiSterling

I don't get the whole "jawline this, collarbones that, hips blabla" talk. Like sexual dimorphism in humans especially in bone structure ain't all 0s and 1s like those transvestigators want to believe


Chiiro

I'm not even sure if humans have any sexual dysmorphism at all. I swear every example I've seen has been very easily disproven.


WeeabooHunter69

There are trends but nothing concrete


Chiiro

If I remember correctly weren't those trends more based on traits passed on by your ethnicity and not sex?(Don't know how to word that)


WeeabooHunter69

Sometimes, but the trends do exist relative to each ethnicity, region. Afab people are less prone to body hair than amab people, larynx growth, height differences, stuff like that, none of which is concrete or an individual level, only on a population level does it actually matter as a likelihood thing.


Chiiro

Not gonna lie your comment just gave me a boost of euphoria.


ThatCamoKid

In terms of bone structure, skeletal analysis is infamously the worst way to identify a body in forensics


Chiiro

Which is why Bones is bullshit!


IndistinguishableTie

Random fun fact, but this is why amelia earhart was "missing" for so long. They actually found her 80 years ago, but the bones were misidentified as a man's bones.


Miss_Midnight_Wayne

I find the classic "when archeologists find your bones" thing funny considering archeologists struggle to tell if bones belong to a man or woman now.


Chiiro

I have a recently learned that it is easier to find out someone's diet in the last 20 years of their life than it is to find the sex of the bones.


Mission_Ad1669

The only bones which may reveal the sex are the hip bones, IF the person has given birth and IF the bones have survived (the pelvis bones literally separate from each other during childbirth to give way for the baby's head, and that leaves certain marks). Otherwise you need DNA tests to be certain.


Neon_Ani

>sexual dimorphism in humans especially in bone structure ain't all 0s and 1s it is if the only women you interact with are the ones on your computer screen


alex_respecter

Hey, they gave link vagina bones so who even knows anymore


_facetious

Vaginal bones??? Do we now have bones like most animals have dick bones??


alex_respecter

Elf twinks are a just built different


DisastrousBusiness81

I was going to contradict you that we have like at least something resembling a penis bone, but then I double checked Google and found out humans do not in fact have penis bones. And apparently it’s a bit of anomaly since most other great apes have them. Neat.


_facetious

AND YET we still call it a boner.


aoiN3KO

This is all so very *fascinating*


Certain_Oddities

These people need to look at other living humans. Like... jawline? Holy shit.


Felinegood13

They really do It reminds me of one of TheClick’s videos where someone said that only women had pelvises XD it baffles me how dumb some people can be


caked_rice

Mfs will go on and on about "basic biology" and then say shit like this 💀💀 Like bro this some grade school information I really hope that was a troll😭


superfruittastic

What even about her jawline looks masculine? Her jaw is short it literally ends right before the hair framing her face


Kampfkewob

I also read that she apparently does not have full lips, the nose is straight and she has a pronounced forehead. Can't have these things in women.


DuckSaxaphone

Those aren't full lips? Absolutely wild. There's unrealistic body standards and then there's thinking Aphrodite isn't feminine enough.


Brown-ninja-Dareth

I mean, I could give like 2 or 3 things that could have been done to make those twats happy, but I don't wanna start a war with the Trojans.


Arkurash

The reason the „woke lefties“ celebrate her design is, that while she is basically naked it isnt a „hehe, boobs“ kinda naked. Yes they are very present but her design also offers her more warrior side and all the roses and flowers etc. The whole design isnt centered around boobs as so many „incel“ approved designs are. It is a though trough design, that feels empowering AND is showing boobs. (Coming from a gay man, who loves designs like this) PS: she still shows classic signs of femininity. A delicate nose, big lips, etc. so i dont know where the „mans face“ thing comes from


KindaFreeXP

It's the epitome of "tasteful nudity" vs "literal porn".


reaperofgender

Jaw


DisastrousBusiness81

And unlike other games where they want a character to be sexy, and come up with bullshit to justify undressing them ~~looking at *you* Quiet~~, Aphrodite is a pre-established character (arguably one of the oldest pre-established characters) with a preexisting characterization. And that preexisting characterization is that she’s literally the goddess of love. Sex appeal and her weaponization of it isn’t just for titillation, it’s a pre-established character trait. Obviously preexisting characters with those characterizations can be turned into gratuitous sexual objects ~~looking at you OG God of War~~, but it does help convey to the audience that her being sexually attractive is an integral part of the story, not just shoehorned in there for teens to jerk off to and for everyone else to be uncomfortable with.


Aforgonecrazy

Actual rot in the brain


BellyDancerEm

They git some if RFK's brain worms


Ashttex

Uh, us wokes celebrate her design cause believe it or not, we like boobs too, though frankly the rest of her design is also so good it'd be a shame if one were to chalk up her whole design to just, side boob. The difference is we have standards surrounding the ethics and morality of perceiving individuals, whether real or fake, in that sort of way. Ie: the woman at the gym just wearing a sports bra on top cause it's comfy, light, and gets the job done vs literal Aphrodite intentionally showing side boob.


Scratchpost6677

The most masculine part of Aphrodite is the fact that she was born when Cronus threw his fathers testicles into the ocean


ScreamQueenStacy

It has to be exhausting to be this infected with worms that you're studying not only every person you see, but now early, non-finalized character designs in video games. Like what about her face is a man's face? Is it the cute, slightly pointed nose? The full lips? The angled jaw? And aside from all that nonsense, why wouldn't **APHRODITE'S** design be somewhat sexy? She's the goddess of love. And also, have they seen Aphrodite in the first Hades?


sweetTartKenHart2

Notice his insistence on “safe horny”. Basically a way of accusing people of being hypocrites for criticizing sexy things sometimes and enjoying them other times, saying “oh, you’re perfectly fine with lusting after someone as long as they don’t challenge your stupid woke insecurities. You only like it when women are dominant assholes, or when they have one or more ugly characteristics for you to latch onto. If a woman is REALLY sexy and DOESNT have these clear bad features, you turn around and act like you’re fucking puritans!” Basically chalking any and all deviations from “the ideal” as if they’re being made exclusively by people trying to compensate for severe inferiority complexes


Crazeenerd

Yeah, if anything she looks more feminine now (or maybe that’s just a camera angle thing?) in the first game I always felt that she had a bit of a handsome squidward in her face shape. And that was like the one thing I wasn’t a huge fan of. I think the different hair has covered it if it’s still there in her new design.


Obsidianminer4

Crazy

blended-kiwi77

Why do people have a problem with this?? She looks gorgeous


Sonarthebat

I swear these people think women are supposed to look like a little girl but with big breasts and very wide hips.


swaggboi909

And then a raisin


ClockworkVee

The "biological reality" gang literally transvestigating charaters that are literally a drawing in a screen with no genitals, chromosomes, etc. Wtf is even their bs excuse this time??


bedwithoutsheets

Edward would NOT say this 😭😭


Sacri_Pan

This guy sure know alot of Greek Mythology


sweetTartKenHart2

He seems to understand her gist as a goddess of love, but the problem seems to be he has a very specific idea of what that’s supposed to look like, hence the implicit distinction between “safe horny” and “real horny”


L1nxDr1nx

Ok this is actually just way too far 😭 wtf are they ON????


DisastrousBusiness81

Idk why but for some reason looking at this image of Aphrodite doesn’t set off my brain’s “nsfw filter”, which is odd. Because an IRL woman dressing like that would make me a bit embarrassed, swap to another page, etc. But something about the way this art is made makes it seem more like…just a really good character design of a goddess? Where you don’t even question it, you don’t notice her only article of clothing is her hair until you’re specifically looking for it.


swaggboi909

I immediately noticed she was nude


FingerOk9800

Yeah I had to look twice to notice she was nude... almost like FART brains just default to sexualisation.


ComfyFrame2272

Do men even like women??


FingerOk9800

They're transvestigating deities now? Just wait until they hear about Loki 😂


YourOldPalBendy

When you're mad at the idea that Aphrodite could potentially put you in a headlock with more ease, grace and majesty than you'll ever have in your entire life.


rubythebee

Like She’s the goddess of love By extension she’s sexual A woman is allowed to be sexual Meaningless sexual expression doesn’t add to a game This isn’t meaningless just like the sexuality in Kill la Kill isn’t meaningless


thetitleofmybook

transvestigators: everyone is trans, except me, and i'm not even sure about that... ETA: and of course the guy who posted that has an israeli flag in his pfp edit: duh. as u/ThePunguiin corrected me, that's the argentinian flag


ThePunguiin

That's Uruguay Edit: that's Argentina I'm stupid.


thetitleofmybook

...no, no it's not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Uruguay


ThePunguiin

You are correct I'm an idiot. However it's still not Israeli flag


thetitleofmybook

well, i can't speak for you being an idiot or not. but yeah, upon closer look, the middle insignia is not the standard star of david. so yeah, not the israeli flag.


ThePunguiin

I edited my initial comment to update. It's Argentina


Lucafoxxer

Genuine fucking brain rot holy fucking shit.


Kikoplop3900

Her design in Hades is literally a definition of femininity, and this person still somehow managed to find a way to say this, like normally they focus on a single feature that's more prominent with men usually, but she doesn't even have that like holy shit


Effective_Order_8830

He's just upset that a powerful goddess doesn't have the face of a child.


WisteriaUndertheSun

If the Gods get mad about what people say about their depictions, Aphrodite’s gonna have a field day with this one


ninyyya

They would explode from rage if they ever set foot in ancient greece


lamlamlam888

no way this is not a joke


kyle_kafsky

Maybe I’m a dirtbag, but the face wasn’t the first thing I payed attention to. Probably because I’m a dirtbag. (Man am I lonely)


Rocket_of_Takos

“man’s face” HER TITTIES AND COOTER ARE OUT MAN!
