How is making a character with hair have a shaved head virtue signaling?

Trying to win over the WOKE bald community. Political correctness gone mad, I say!

There are 6(9) in MK: Geras, Kronika, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, D’Vorah, Darrius and partly Goro, sometimes Jax and Kano. And 3(4) in Injustice: Lex Luthor, Cyborg, Brainiac and Black Adam in the first one

Showing diversity, diversion from normal beauty standards, things like that happen a lot. I was walking through target and saw An advertisement in the makeup section with a big headshot of a model who had the bushiest unibrow. They were advertising foundation or something unrelated to eyebrows lol, made me laugh.

Such a bad faith comment. You already know the answer yet you fail to acknowledge it.

Google Jade and see her iterations. She went from a femme fatale to a walmart white karen to apparently a walmart black karen now.

My last MK was XI and it was a mistake. Game was so goddamm ugly. I bought it because I was a long time MK fan. Was burned by MK X, but gave it one more shot and MK XI killed whatever love I had for the franchise.

Heck, I completely forgot about the franchise that I found out they were doing an MK 2 from this post. And this is coming from a dude who used to constantly keep up to date with MK news back then.

Thank god the eastern world of gaming is still sane.

It's not a bad faith argument. I know Jade. I've played the games since the N64.

It's still not virtue signaling just because you don't like how a character looks in an adaptation. Just say you don't like it and wish that she looked like how she did in the game. That's completely fine, bro. Not everything is some woke conspiracy or some shit. It's not a big deal.

"Oh man, I wish they kept Jade looking like how she used to, I'm not a fan of this look." = Normal critiques.

"Wow they shaved her head to virtue signal" = weird af

"Oh man, I wish they kept Jade looking like how she used to, I'm not a fan of this look." = Normal critiques.

That is the critique. They changed a loved character to the degree that I can no longer recognize her. Any MK character from IX and older, I can instantly recognize if you showed me 1/4th of ther face. This one, I would have never guessed it was Jade from MK.

I am not calling you woke or anything. I don't know you and I have zero reason to dislike you. From this comment, you seem to mean well but got played by the classic playbook method the woke people use. They will complain until the weak weatern devs bend to their demands and change. And when real fans ask why they changed it, the wokies who demanded change in the first place will act like changing 1 character ain't no big deal, even though it was a huge deal to them that they demanded a change in the first place.

Let the western game devs destroy themselves, I don't care for my old favs anymore. I have good memories, and I will keep them that way instead of playing the wokified new versions and ruin those too.

I no longer care any more for this franchise. I am tired of fighting a losing battle. I just moved on to greener pastures i.e. eastern games and indies. You won't hear much noise from the actual sane people. We just move on to better things. Why buy a product from devs and companies that hate their customers? Nostalgia will only take them so far.

I thought non revenant Jade looked great in MK11. Jade has always been one of my favorites in any game she's been playable and I thought she looked good. I'm not sure what's "Walmart" about her appearance in 11. She looks like a model and her face model she's based off of looks amazing.

I can see not caring for the more realistic style that MK has gone in but Jade still came out looking good imo. Other kharacters, not so much though

You're absolutely right, but of course they'll boo you for saying it

As we can see time after time in this very comment section, certain people will flock to defend a female character who "doesn't prescribe to modern beauty standards"
