Thx that's what I figured, also thread is being swarmed by a pack of trolls as you've seen, I'm getting suspended while the trolls are having a field day lmao.

But it's all good, Blizzard is looking at the character models so we might see some changes in the future, complaining about it was worth it.

I'm done with the thread, just curious how many more trolls it will attract xD



We weren’t trolling. Meant every word. You just got called out for relating some not-so-great design with “gender politics”, and after being called out, backed in to a corner and said “I just want the models to look like they used to” as if your sad rant wasn’t on record.

Glad you’re done with the thread though. I’m certain someone as not-fragile as you will let this comment go without needing to respond. 🤫

Damn, that honestly looks really good. But it would probably anger Twitter.

You're right, its 2021 so we need to cater to the transgenders, gay, and dad-bods holders of the world. Because clearly by NOT doing that and sticking to how the character should look as they were originally designed means that we're being insensitive to the political climate around us.

Why would I not respond to your response, did you add that to make sure you have the final word here, like some final victory over that guy that dared to suggest the grotesque characters were put in the game on purpose?

None of you people have given a credible explanation why this happened other than "it's a vicarious vision fuckup" or "just some poor design", while the rest of the game is looking beautiful with attention to every detail.

As it stands now there's only one conclusion, this was done on purpose and it's obviously because the characters were "adapted" to the present day political agenda. This is not a conspiracy theory it's just how things are these days how can you not see that.

It's hilarious to see how the rage mob responds to this topic, it's not only dealing with the remake of a classic game of which the characters are oozing diversity already, they could all be LGBTQ without us even knowing it and why ffs do we need to know this when all we do is playing these characters in a videogame LMAO

I said I'm done with this thread I meant shaking off those shitty trolls all day long but if guys like you come in claiming some kind of victory you're sure to get a response, don't worry about it.

Now since you don't agree it was done on purpose, give us a credible reason why the characters look like this and the rest of the game looks flawless. Go ;)

You don't actually feel like you've been victorious in your discussion, right? Everyone just thinks you're a knob :)

Did you not see the replies of people that agree with me, or are you just continuing your trolling spree hmm?

Let me tell you that I've had people sending me PMs telling me they agree with this topic and that the purple haired rage mob are just a bunch of tools and yes-men lmao

Have fun now shitposting this topic, but as long as you can't bring a credible explanation why this happened you should just GTFO as you're not helping this discussion in any way. Cya

TL;DR below

After spending some more time today catching up on d2r content I've missed, I noticed something...

In a YT comment of all places. So I went ahead and checked the comment for accuracy..

Does anyone remember the succubus monsters from D1? (Graphically designed)

Well I'm tying them into this, due to when I was a teen transitioning (lol poor term choice) from D1 to D2, a small detail in my mind at the end of A1..

The small detail for my adolescent mind was that this Act Boss Andariel seems to share the same choice in undergarments as that of the succubus from D1! They are/were both scantily clad, with Andariel being larger in stature and much more intimidating (as it should be for a game boss versus trash mob)

So back to the YT comment.. I scrolled back up and found the time stamp, lo and behold.. there will be no connecting those dots for undergarment selections in this remake for anyone coming off of D1.. Andariel's got a skirt/ragged kilt type thing on (I'm terrible with fashion names, work with me a bit lol)

TL;DR here

So for the TL;DR, no I can't find a case to prove you wrong yet Djunior, and sadly with the more modest apparel in the remake for Andariel (and a personal lack of drawing conclusions coming off of the D1 succubus from my teenage mind but who cares) only have found yet another possible reason you may be more correct than anyone cares to admit.

“I’m done with this thread”

Returns with predicted ease, because ego as fragile as an eggshell.

“I’m really done now!!! People are sending me encouraging private messages!!!”

See ya in your next response.

The models will look better if they’ve said they will improve them. Heed your own advice and leave your political fragility out of it.
