In what fucking way would it be „progressive“?

This just seems like it would cause even more body dysphoria than these beauty contests already do. How is this different than just allowing fucking Photoshop? Just creates even more unrealistic body standards

Like adding extra fingers?

Wonderful for when playing FPS on a console with a pad.

Reminds me of that time I tried to play a Monster Hunter game, specifically MH3 on the Wii.

I was like “what the fuck are those controls? How am I supposed to hit those remotely efficiently?”… To which people answered with the ridiculous crime against ergonomy called “the Claw Grip”. That was the last straw and I decided the game wasn’t for me.

I am guessing they mean “progressive” as in “including technical progress”, not progressive social views. And, no it’s not either. It’s just marketing around the latest way to sell their image to advertisers.

Someone fucking paid the organisers to do this, didn’t they.

If someone in that comp has the Fortification they’d prompt the AI to show why it sucks.

Is the British Broadcasting Corporation a hamburger or a banana?

The models get 0% of the proceeds for one year and then 10% after that. After interviews and photos of the models, they get around to interviewing the CEOs of the companies doing this, and there’s an unchallenged narrative about why it’s fair and not exploitative. Shame on the BBC.
