That video summarises the reboot of Lara Croft. Female gamers aren't triggered by physically fit/attractive/feminine women, they love the power fantasy/of playing as a hunky man too. It's not gamers complaining, it's SJW bloggers who want to claim another thing to be triggered by
What's with the trend of making existing conventionally attractive female video game characters uglier, less feminine, and lesbian? Lara Croft is also getting this treatment
"Horizon Forbidden West' Confirms Aloy Is Attracted To Women" Well when you make her look like Nick it is a strange move for her not to like dick.๐๐คฃ
@kommanderkarl
i'm a gay man so the boobs mean less to me than some men but Lara's design has always=a curvaceous feminine power fantasy, so don't act like the downgrade to insect bite tits isn't jarring let alone the face being unrecognisable & if your fave character had that you'd be wtf too.
Crystal want Lara to be the butchest woman in Lara cosplay & rob her of all feminity until she is unrecognisable. Lara was unapologetically feminine whilst being as badass as the boys. You don't need to look like a man to be strong. Curves/glamour/elegance are integral to Lara.
"According to the alleged casting notes for Lara...
...the role will involveย โromantic scenes with another female characterโ.
Could they possibly crowbar anything else in there to make her less like Lara Croft? She never was nor ever will be lesbian. Incredibly cringe & forced.
so-called Tomb Raider fan that knows fuck all: "why are people asking for her to look more like Lara, she never had a defined face ๐ค"
Lara in every era before the reboot rewriting of history began & everyone made a conscious choice to choose to forget what Lara Croft looks like:
this RTX Tomb Raider mod by Dominus Aureate shows not only what remasters could look like but also future games/DLC for the remasters. Come on
@AspyrMedia
you know we'd buy them ๐ full video by Dominus:
can Lara not even be in a mobile game crossover without shoving down our throats how woke she is & no longer morally interested in stealing artefacts.. this is not Tomb Raider & this Lara is not Lara Croft
Lara Croft just won a BAFTA for most iconic video game character so here's a history lesson as to why as I see it's mainly non-Brits or people who just weren't around for the Lara fever debating this.
Mario just existed & had games. Lara was the first video game celebrity. She
proof why fans must gatekeep their beloved characters lest they end up in the panderverse. when fans do more justice to the source material than the IP holders it's time to show with our wallets we won't buy their self insert souless 'reimagining' trash made for a modern audience
Incredible new art by
@KonradMajewsk11
a remake of the Tomb Raider II European cover. A study conducted byย Buzz Casino showed Tomb Raider as by far the most wanted remastered game. Now is the time to remaster these classic PlayStation games ๐ฎ
@CaesarSilverbe1
Totally agree.
They wanna see this in the next Tomb Raider game for "representation" and "body positivity" rather than actually see Lara Croft
A lot of female GUEST characters that would fit in MK 1:
Alita
Lara Croft
The Bride from Kill Bill
Furiosa from Mad Max
Katniss from Hunger Games
DC/Marvel ladies like Harley, WW, Wanda, Storm, etc.
The female/Starlight from The Boys
There are way more but Iโm too tired atm
Can we just admit that at best Lara Croft was unapproachable. As well as being a formidable lone ranger. The idea of her wanting best buddies in the next game is hilarious. The devs have NO idea who Lara Croft is and they prove it with each game
ok but can we have a patch for Tomb Raider Remastered that doesn't remove stuff, Crystal Dynamics already pushed it with that preachy disclaimer, now they removed renders of Lara they deem too risque, easter eggs & voice lines. We don't want 'their' version these games, this was
Wtf never heard this before. The only time classic Lara has talked about her biography on film, including being disowned by her father & sounding totally unfazed by it. No sad sack shtick as Lara Croft is someone above her emotions. Voiced by the best Lara VOA too, Judith Gibbins
WTF TOMB RAIDER 1, 2 AND 3 REMASTERED, LARA AND THE GAME LOOK PERFECT, THE LIGHTING, THE SKYBOX, EVEN THE LOGO LOOKS GREAT WTFFFF, I CAN'T RN, WTF IS GOING ON ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

THIS is how you give drama and beauty, why do they always choose the ugly outfits for reboot Lara. If you think that ugly Netflix dress was better than this.. you might have covid cause you have no taste
If huge Sega/Paramount can listen to fans why can't a flop company like Crystal Dynamics? We be beg for an authentic Lara: they make her dowdier. We beg for TR to stop being sappy emotional crap: they make an anime about it
Anyone giving them the benefit of the doubt shame on you
NOONE cares if you like reboot or not. Noone doesn't understand girl next door appeal, that's just not Lara Croft. Feminine attributes were minimised & gaslight reboot fans say pointing this is out is simply trying to spin anti-woke narrative. No it's just called having eyesight
@jazmynedayy
QUEEN. You did her more than justice๐๐ปin your cosplay you're showcasing everything we LOVE about OG Lara's design & personality
It's sad that the IP holders
@CrystalDynamics
do nothing but try to erase OG Lara in their games but at least we have fans like you to uphold the legacy
So the Tomb Raider Netflix anime trailer dropped &...! It's survivor Lara. The reboot live action flopped, reboot flopped after 3 games so none of the changes to Lara/TR were justified even on a monetary basis, let alone to justify an anime dedicated to it
The kind of Netflix Tomb Raider anime we should have gotten.. not the same bait-&-switch story of "watch bow-girl become the Tomb Raider.. no, but for reals this time!" we've had on repeat for 10+ years
I only see Crystal Dynamics provide the blandest ideas for what Lara Croft could be for the past 10 years and fans delivering every time. Someone take the IP from their hands
#FreeLara
Lara Croft's original biography by Core Design: "she realized that she was only truly alive when she was traveling alone"
The leaked plot of Crystal Dynamics' next Tomb Raider game: "Lara has become lonely at the top". Crystal are shameless about mutating TR beyond recognition
Why any time classic/LAU fans request Lara to look more like herself, the response is always, "she's not ugly ๐ญ", "you just want a sex doll". Um, no we just want an iconic character to not be rewritten into something totally different?
- Angelina looked like Lara Croft โ
- LAU looked like Lara Croft โ
- Survivor looked like.. โ
โ๏ธ
We're still not sure who she looks like ๐ค but it aint Lara Croft
So who didn't feel connected 15 years in, thought she was 'too posh' and 'too confident for players to find any connection with' and wanted the Keira Knightly version of Lara Croft hm? ๐๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
@00pugsly
Exactly lol, what girl wouldn't want their character to look as badass/cute/hot as possible, these western devs are such puritanical bores who bow to vocal 'activists', such a pussy move, like maybe have integrity & brand continuity like the japanese devs who give no fucks do lol
It's sad that 3 of these are AAA quality, tasteful, faithful & realistic imaginings of the iconic Lara Croft yet the 1 that looks like a random brunette is the current Lara Croft, especially since
@CrystalDynamics
created arguably the best official ingame Lara with TR Legend 1/19

Tomb Raider fans can't complain about another total rewrite of Lara Croft without being called some 'phobe or 'ism. Lara's face, body & character changed? Sexism. Lara's now a lesbian? Homphobe. Her hair looks like a mullet? Offensive to the toupรฉe community. Where does it end?
Single handedly take down T-Rexes, an immortal Egyptian God, an Atlantean ruler, a murderous alchemist from the 15th century, and escape the chase of a faithful flatulent butler?
Lara Croft: Sounds like fun. When do you need it done by?
Do we remember when Lara had the badass imposing superhero physique Toby was going for? When she wasn't shaped like a frail rectangle, had hips, thighs & a chest? Both by Andy Park but the second is the more boring modern version as you can see. Beginning of the boringification
@Beatch666devil
Right, like a physically fit woman with model looks can't be taken seriously, so making them gain weight/look less feminine/covering up their apparently shameful & scandalous bodies is a win for women? Hell no.. & with Lara, making her shorter/daddy issues/attemped r**e. Hell no.
Waiting on the train to Derby and ofc it's delayed.. so sad.. I hope to get there. I borrowed this backpack from a friend who got it in Cambodia, what do you think?
also not that it needed to be said but the shoes are fucking ugly and the bracelet and necklace look hideous with that dress
Lara was never the "omg I refuse to be girly, I wear converse with a dress" no she was unapologetically feminine which went against the grain at the time
Classic Lara Croft fans: *Shares their opinion that they miss her*
Reboot Fans interjecting: She's gone forever. Get over it.
Me checking who gives a fuck about their opinion or who asked for it:
Lara always had such pretty, delicate features & a striking profile, I absolutely loatheee the prosthetic noses she's been given in recent years๐ฅธ we went from reboot extended beak๐ฆ to unified massive bridge๐ they just can't let her be pretty AF๐ they think big nose=big sales?
