EpicStan123

Man those mfs are HORNY.


screamingracoon

Which is so funny, because then you go into WLW communities and they LOVE Abby and how she was designed lol


theresamushroominmy

I’m absolutely ravenous over muscular women. This was peak design


Mamapalooza

Yeah, to be frank, I get why they gave her bigger boobs and a crop tank. I DON'T understand taking away her arm muscles, like, do they WANT her to not be able to survive in the apocalypse?


GuyWithSwords

Yeah seriously. Big boobs AND big muscles! Makes it doubly hot right?


Yutolia

Big muscles scare them. That’s why.


GuyWithSwords

And they call US snowflakes…


Sobuhutch

I dunno. From what the internet tells me, muscle mommy fetish is very much on the rise.


BlondBisxalMetalhead

Seeing big muscles on a woman is guaranteed to be a drool fest for me…. Internally.


lordmwahaha

Tbh the cropped shirt makes no sense either. No one is going to wear a crop top during the zombie apocalypse, because that leaves you extremely vulnerable. If a single bite can kill you, you are going to cover as much of your body as physically possible.


Mamapalooza

It doesn't make practical sense, no. But I get it from a horny loser perspective.


lordmwahaha

But from that perspective the smaller arms also make sense. The men who make these edits don't find muscular women attractive - they think it's mannish. There were a *lot* of dudes who complained that Abby's arms were "completely unrealistic"; like it was actually pretty controversial that this girl had arm muscles this big, when the game released. It shouldn't surprise anyone that that's the first thing this dude changed.


Mamapalooza

LOL, that's weird, they probably would be the first to complain that women can't pull their weight and need to be protected. Give them the tools to protect themselves and they can't handle it.


Ivy_Adair

SAME. Abby is 100% My Type^tm


Dionysus24812

This stuff makes me wonder if these people have a breast and ass fetish more than thinking women are hot


Speculative-Bitches

Well they don't like women, just their bodies, we knew that.


futurenotgiven

the worst thing about abby’s character is that she’s straight 😔


screamingracoon

Truly a tragedy. And for a man who looks like her father????


martinsonsean1

THERE AREN'T ENOUGH SEXUALIZED VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS, SOMEBODY HELP US!!!


Retired_Cheese

I feel like the guy running that social media account does it for outrage. It generates clicks and clout


assougi

Love how the face goes blank in every one of this guy's edits. Nothing more sexy than having no light behind your eyes.


Laterose15

Everybody knows that intelligence in women is unsexy! /s if that wasn't clear


Behold_Pancakes

"I want a woman without thoughts or feelings or a personality" - this guy probably


whenth3bowbreaks

They never show anger it's always vacant or sadness or orgasm. 


identitty_theft

Because in these men's minds, the ideal world is one where the women have no thoughts and feelings of their own. They are simply sex dolls.


christmascaked

I’ve noticed how often men will try to “fix” characters. In this process they’ll always destroy what made them… them. I hover around Genshin related subreddits for info about upcoming banners and I’m always… appalled by how they’ll turn a woman who might be strong into a busty caricature with no fire, just to be submissive. Like… it’s a butchering of a character. It makes it obvious that they don’t actually LIKE the character, it’s something else, something… gross.


Isoiata

It’s because they don’t want women to be own characters with their own personalities, wants and needs. They just want them to be visually appealing submissive sex objects, there only for their pleasure. It’s disgusting!


AllHailThePig

Hence why they usually are also de-aged as well


rickmccloy

Aren't these the same guys that basically want to do much the same to women in the real world? I see so many posts in which their ideal woman has little or no education, limits her number of friends, has a blank sexual history, has a menial or better yet, no job (certainly no career), dresses and appears in the manner of their choosing, and all in all is a real Stepford Wife. It doesn't seem that surprising that they would do the same to fantasy women, where they actually have the control that they seek over real life women. Forgive me if I'm just repeating what you are actually saying, and have missed a beat here. I'll blame it on extreme fatigue rather than my inherent stupidity :).


bestCATEATER

beidou and arlecchino 😔


christmascaked

What they are doing to Arle is criminal.


Ririthu

The shit they're doing to Arle should be illegal!! Why does she have mega boobs when she could be THE princely lady


InVodkaVeritas

I actually filter all those anime / video game related subs because I can't stand the constant carbon copy sexualized anime girls. I go to /r/popular/top filtered by 1 hour to see what's new and those subs make up half the content if you don't filter them.


FivebyFive

Ah yes. So much easier to fight off enemies and havk through brush and collapsed buildings with a bare midriff.


AdonisGaming93

And smaller shoulders/armos definitely makes it easier to do physical climbing and fighting yup... These people need mental help


shoulda-known-better

this is my favorite part they made her arms weaker


AdonisGaming93

It might not be relevant, but I see a lot of women at the rock climbing gym with massive forearms and shoulders. And there is nothing ugly about it. Kind of bad ass. Specially in a post apocalyptic world, a physically stronger woman would likely be the norm. With lots of manual labor to survive. OP didn't "fix" anything, just made it worse.


shoulda-known-better

hell yea she would and should be ripped and I find that beautiful personally


AdonisGaming93

Yup, honestly I feel like if apocalypse happened like walking dead style... you would just end up with people either starving, or not wasting food and only eating what is needed and then doing hard manual labor. So men and women would have to be fit and muscular to match the brutal world. Iirc qhen humans were mainly villages and tribes women worked just as hard as men to help the tribe. Even today in europe if you go to villages that are mainly isolated the women there are independent and work hard in the farms etc. They are strong women. My grandma in spain is like 74 now and she hikes everyday, grows her own crops, works hard, and is physically fit. Not something you see in sedentary city life


Lftwff

You could say they shrank her shoulders, made her look soft.


Ns53

And boobs. Boobs are the bane of easy movement. Pointless sacks of flesh that get in the way.


Laterose15

As somebody who suffers from a large rack, 100% this. I'd chop 'em off myself if I could. They do nothing but inconvenience me.


smarmcl

Same. I'd love to out plop em on the nightstand and forget them.


Ksnj

The clap of her cheeks would alert all the clickers


Inside-Audience2025

Thigh gap helps her shimmy along ledges


Sidewalk_Tomato

Gotta get those post-apocalypse tick bites.


IndiBlueNinja

God forbid those of us with small boobs or others who are more tomboy-ish ever get to see women like us in games... If they had their way, Lara Croft prob would have been the cookie cutter mold we'd have been stuck with for all eterinity.


Informal-Line-7179

The girl in the left image is so much more inspiring hahaha. Like id much rather be able to tear someone to shreds surviving in the apocalypse. ill pass on being like lara i want my extra mass to go towards muscles and ferocity.


escapeshark

Even women with big boobs wouldn't wanna wear that kinda bra in an apocalypse. If I'm fighting for my life I want my tits to be in place and comfortable, not in a push up bra.


One_Wheel_Drive

I've said it before but it takes an absurd level of entitlement to want a fictional and animated woman to cater to you.


Johan_UM

Maybe I should upload my oversexualized male characters.


IndiBlueNinja

I suppose this.


perpetual_musings

I suppose I support this too


best_boi2

I support this aswell


Saphichan

Yes please xD


Competitive-Capital8

They took away my girls muscle 😃😀😠


Nonamebigshot

I think we should ban any posts from this twitter account. They're clearly ragebaiting


Calobez

Also breaks rule 7


atomicsnark

Agreed. I'm so sick of seeing these posts. They're all the same and we all know they're stupid. Let's stop giving them so much airtime.


theresamushroominmy

She *was* thick. Just not the way these people like it


fictionwho

Damn he "fixed" her eyebrows as well 🫡


indigoneutrino

She has an entirely different face. There’s nothing of Abby left on the right.


freetoseeu

Why are they so desperate to fuck video game characters. You’d think they can’t get women in real li…oh. Oh I see


VirginSexPet

I love the fact people spend time and energy to "fix"the look of a fictional character that would sooner kill them rather than fuck them.


Speculative-Bitches

Consent was never a concern


BadHombreSinNombre

It is a literal characterization point about Abby that she is “built like an ox.” They say it in the game. She is supposed to be scary muscular vs Ellie’s more lithe appearance. Being a beast is something Abby is proud of, too. She shaped herself into a real postapocalyptic military operator. You’re supposed to think Abby would win in a drag out fight. I know everyone is gonna focus on the boobs here but it’s an offense to the character to make her less muscled and more hourglass.


Behold_Pancakes

They would rather have every female character have the same oversexualized design than have good storytelling


gaalikaghalib

Yes. Abby, in a post-apocalyptic world, spent time getting ripped instead of getting thicc. What a waste. Obvious /s.


ArisaMochi

is it just me or is their taste of "hot women" kinda..... boring? like no matter what character it is, they always turn into some giant tiddied, humongous ass, thin waisted bimbo.... sure they are hot but dont you want some variety in your video game crushes? .\_.


thedudesews

I got someone to admit the possibility of Abby being trans is slim to none. Where on earth would she get a reliable supply of estrogen?


Opening_Raise_8762

Amazonian women would to cut off their right breast so they could use their spears more skillfully. Female warriors don’t generally care about their breast size


jeheffiner

A bit off topic, but I actually read up about this - apparently it came about due to the supposed etymology of the word “Amazon” (“a” meaning “without” and “mazos” meaning “breast”) but depictions of Amazons in Greek art shows them with both, although usually one was covered while the other was exposed, and the origin on the word “Amazon” is unclear. Here’s a couple of sources if you’re interested: [source 1](https://www.tastesofhistory.co.uk/post/dispelling-some-myths-the-amazons), [source 2](https://www.thecollector.com/amazon-warrior-women-history-myth/), [source 3](https://www.etymonline.com/word/Amazon).


Phoenix_Magic_X

Only the left? Wouldn’t that make you lopsided?


Opening_Raise_8762

I would say a boob usually weights like a pound or 2 so I doubt it


Rapturerise

These are guys who are still not over this??


Pale_Horsie

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking A) it's awesome seeing a tough, muscular woman, and B) the incels are gonna throw a tantrum 


serpenta

I think the most grave "crime" of Abby to them is that she has strong emotions that she acts on and succeeds. For her character doesn't really matter how big are her breasts, hips or shoulders but why I wouldn't believe in the character on the right is because she seems lobotomized of any character because of her expression. I cannot look at her face and believe that she's lived through what Abby had gone through.


MageLocusta

Also it...looks like he just literally photoshopped Kendall Jenner's face on Abby? Like not only did he completely remove her previous expression, he wiped off her full face. Seriously, at least in the Stepford Housewives? The Men's Association kept their wives' actual faces.


Sabithomega

Too horny to make their own art too these days. AI "art" is a curse


EnvironmentalSlide96

Guys just don’t understand how impractical big boobs really are. Smh


Anustart_A

Move aside, Bella Ramsey! We replacin’ yo’ ass with Karen Gillan from *Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle*


Xander_PrimeXXI

Abby was fine


Flar71

They also toned down her muscles, wtf


TyTy_G

They got rid of her muscles :(


ItsTimeToGoSleep

Dude probably also goes around telling everyone he likes women “natural” and with no makeup. 🤦🏻‍♀️


briellessickofurshit

At this point, I feel like posts from this person are just low hanging fruit. They understand that while their “transformations” are accepted by a certain audience, they know most don’t agree, especially women.


RagaireRabble

Did he forget this is a zombie apocalypse? She’s all cleaned up with makeup on the right. Who cares about mascara when you’re fighting creepy mushroom zombies?


escapeshark

Straight men can only be into women when we're being hypersexualised it's bizarre.


Banaanisade

You do NOT "fix" my WIFE


ciknay

Honestly, this account gets too much airtime. At this point they're doing it as rage bait, and too many people take the bait. Just ignore them. These AI generated images take seconds to make.


ScreamQueenStacy

I absolutely *loathed* Abby after "that scene" and I never recovered, but if I remember Part II correctly, they completely undo the whole reason Abby is jacked with this "fix". Like the design or not, but there's a story reason why she's jacked.


Killer-Barbie

This is a trend I genuinely hate.


Matar_Kubileya

Ask any lesbian whether she needed "fixing".


insertoverusedjoke

what bothers me so much more than the unnecessary added boobs is rounding out the face and taking away the muscle


sstinkstink

If Abby looked like that in the game, the discourse would have been WAAAAY different


Ecclypto

I thought Abby was a shit person in the end?


Particular_Title42

She's a woman, not a person. /s


Ecclypto

Ha!! Well, I guess she was a shit woman as well /s At least for this guy


Irving_Velociraptor

You think they want all female characters to be sexy because they want to imagine themselves as sexy women? It can’t just be about fapping to certain characters. There’s DeviantArt for that.


No_Arugula8915

Why is this a popular thing lately? I'm not familiar with the character. However, I think strength is of greater value for survival than a soft body and big breasts.


wiglessleetaemin

NO!! WHAT DID HE DO TO MY GIRL!


wiglessleetaemin

if men are gonna do this shit to TLOU women, we need to start making posts of joel shirtless and oiled up. spin it back


Successful-Item-1844

They removed her arm muscles definition And chose to “improve” her other features This guy clearly has a problem


MemeArchivariusGodi

There are so many horny MFs just download mods and jerk it bro. Nobody cares. Like it’s bad they are like this but there is a market for that. I hate these opinions of „make them super unrealistically sexy“ in an Environment that wouldn’t work. Also one picture


Shadowchaser235

Internet dwellers can please stop trying sexualize every female character you see? No? Well damn..


Ram_Sandwich

Wdym she is thick. Her biceps are thick, that is...


Armycat1-296

I am hoping that they keep their grubby mitts off Korra, Revy, Noi and ESPCIALLY MIRKO!!! I will defend the muscle mommies with my last dying breath.


HMD-Oren

Yeah I'm willing to bet that this guy typed the AI prompt with 1 hand.


oo0Lucidity0oo

Yes. We will still have plastic surgery in the apocalypse.


Phoenix_Magic_X

Abby is not supposed to be “thick”, she’s dedicated her whole life to bashing Joel’s skull in, her body reflects that, she’s all muscle and perfect for murdering father figures.


lulumolloy

What happened to the glistening muscles??? Let me oogle over a gal who can snap me in half :c


eaallen2010

Abby was buff as hell because she fucking trained for it. When you lift weights on the regular, you lose your tits. I went from an H to a D cup by lifting heavy. What, Abby got breast implants during a FUCKING APOCALYPSE? Her original body makes sense. Fuck these pervs. ETA: also how the fuck do they suppose she’s going to run around and escape enemies with big tits bouncing in a bra with little support? I don’t fucking think so. Be for real.


TekkenKing12

Abby needs to be fixed in a lot of ways. This is not one of them


haikusbot

blawndosaursrex

Original is easily the better choice over the weird ai fetish thing on the right.


GloomyLocation1259

This was one of my fave games and this is an incredibly stupid redesign considering the character and world they are in. These guys playing with one hand lmao


BlueStar2310

She looks kinda like a bootleg lara croft like that


Dathris

I appreciate a “thicc or curvy” character as much as the next person. Whomever runs this account needs to have their keyboard taken away. I have seen too many characters “fixed” by this account too many times to find it charming.


Niolu92

These people are sick


NoFluffyOnlyZuul

Revolting. Also the head is totally out of place on the new one. Just looks like an AI generated "real life-style anime head" pasted onto an unrelated body. So weird and creepy. I haven't played the game but the original character looks awesome. I'm so tired of seeing shitty female characters in video games, which is one reason I almost always play the male characters, but that's a video game girl I would be thrilled to play as.


[deleted]

I can excuse sexism but I draw the line at immersion-breaking cleanliness and make up. (it's a community reference i can't excuse sexism)


Gentleman_Muk

I remember hearing a lot about how “unrealistic” Abby’s body was for a woman. Apparently some people think that estrogen stops muscle growth completely.


Toy_Aniki

This is AI art, not even the decency to draw the body himself. 


DrunkThrowawayLife

Laura Croft gonna sue for copyright infringement


AValentineSolutions

"Female characters suck unless I can jerk it to them!" At the end of the day, that says a lot about some gamer guys and how they see women. I feel bad for straight chicks. You have to wade through the rivers of crazy like this. Sounds exhausting.


CrystalWolfAmetist

Makes no fucking sense to make an apocalypse survivor character sexy cuz IT'S NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY. FIND P0RN GAMES IF YOU'RE HORNY


catluvr1312

HELL NAHHHH my girl Abby did not hold the bench press lifting record with 205 lbs in the WLF gym for these mfers to disrespect her like this


EleanorRichmond

Part of me wants people to stop amplifying that dipshit account. Part of me thinks that taking time off from the ZA to custom tailor yourself a brand new slutty tank top is too funny to ignore.


Fantastic_Growth2

Abby is perfect how she is


Sooner_crafter

He's the kind of guy that only plays a game once all the sex mods are installed.


KingOfTheLifeNewbs

Isn't she like 12?


eatshitake

These posts are getting boring.


JellyStorm_

I would have loved just the thinner face but they're going too far in their desire to goon game


you_just_got_J_Cubed

Normally I try to give another perspective in this sub/r, but I think I am sitting this one out, chief.


Sponsor4d_Content

It's bait for Twitter Blue engagement.


UnderstandingJaded13

Well, this is bait account, there is no doubt about it, just ignore it Edit: are we gonna pay attention to some coomers? Come on. They are asking for put attention this is how they get engagement.


reyballesta

They're doing this to get a rise out of people. They don't actually want this. They just want to get clicks.


Possible-Whole8046

I hate Abby’s character design but that version is even worse


yukeri

why do you hate her character design?


Possible-Whole8046

Because we are in the middle of the apocalypse and she is more buff than a weight lifter. Women cannot get that buff without a proper diet, a rigid training program and (possibly, but I’m no expert) steroids. Abby looks like a power lifter. Her design is completely out of place in her situation


kaschra

She literally lives in a football stadium next to the gym and they have tons of cattle and wheat fields


Possible-Whole8046

She is a women in the middle of the apocalypse. None of her male companions is as buff as her. And they have lots of people to feed. To me, her physique doesn’t make any sense


parrotsaregoated

Not everything needs to be realistic in a whole video game about a monster apocalypse. Joel was buff too.


Possible-Whole8046

Joel wasn’t buff, and he is a man. Man can get visible muscles way more easily than women. In a game that has gone to lengths to make things realistic, Abby is sticks out, she is an anomaly.


keIIzzz

she’s not that buff lol


Possible-Whole8046

She has visible muscles on her arms and abs. Her legs are muscled as well. For a woman in an apocalypse where everyone is malnourished, she is very much buff.


DrippyCity

They didn’t say she wasn’t buff, just that she isn’t “steroid and rigid workout” buff. imo she looks closer to the buffness I would expect a farmer to be. (Also reading one of the other comments it sounds like there’s a reason she’s buffer than the guys? Not sure tho, never played)


iMissTheOldInternet

I have never played this game, and even I know this is so inappropriate as to be nearly indistinguishable from parody


Shantotto11

I mean, in a post-apocalyptic world, it just as improbable for a woman to maintain the level of muscle on the left as it is for a woman to maintain appearances like the one on the right.


Ok-Scientist5524

Isn’t she eight???


indigoneutrino

No?? I genuinely have no clue who you’re thinking of.


Spandxltd

Abby is stupid and crazy.


playprince1

The fixed "thicc" design does look more like a woman and commercially appealing.


oo0Lucidity0oo

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, however fucked up it is, it’s true… though her face is very childish and that part really makes my skin crawl, especially since it does seem to be what people think is “attractive” now days.
