People are really having a problem with the way alot of western gaming companies are seemingly doing female faces. We already had the problem get brought up during the reveal of the latest Fable game. And now, the topic has been brought back up because of the recent Mortal Kombat 1 trailer, and the reveal of “new” Tanya.



I’ll be honest, NetherRealm hasn’t been the best when it comes to female faces, but this for some reason definitely doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t know why, but she just is hella unattractive. I don’t know if it’s them just doing too much with her face, or maybe it’s her hair. But old Tanya looked good, so I don't know why they decided to go so far away from that.

Someone made an image showing the difference between western game developers females compared to eastern game developers females.

If I can give criticism to both of them, I feel like western games focus too much on trying to give the women real life facial features and structure, which, if not done right, gives it a really unattractive look. Even though eastern females have this, barbie doll standard of beauty look, they all kind of have the same face. That sounded kind of racist. So it’s not like eastern female designs are perfect. But I know I do like them better.

I doubt anything will be changed with her design by the release of the game, so everyone unhappy with it, I guess will stay unhappy. Well, at least the guys still look cool.

This is my nigga.

Do you think Tanya's new look is ugly? Do you like western game female characters design more or eastern game female character design more? Are you interested in Mortal Kombat 1? Tell us in the comments.
