I'd like them how they were before the nerf, or even like Andy Park's Lara where she had some muscle tone going on, but not like Abby thanks.
looking at the backlash with Abby I can't imagine what the incels will do if we had a bulky Lara . so I understand their decision. But i'm hoping that TLOU2 success will persuade them to reconsider that with the next game.

I'd love it if they were inspired by and modelled her similar to the female Gladiators of the 90s game show, actually. Strength and femininity mixed, acrobatic prowess. Obviously not in such skimpy clothes out of good context, but this sort of vibe.

Just give her Alicia Vikander's arms from the 2018 and Lara would look superb!

Though I do like the muscle system in SotTR, the only thing is that the neutral state should have stayed a bit more defined than what we got.

I mean, Abby's ugly as sin, so I think folks not wanting Lara to look like her is more than justified. Doesn't make them incels.

she's ugly to you but not ugly to me. so this discussion will go nowhere.

however, what is a fact is that getting mad about a female character's appearance 110% makes one incel. no question.

I'm happy for Lara to look toned and athletic. I don't need her to look like a bodybuilder, but as someone who is fit and strong in order to do what she does.

Yeah I think more athletic and toned rather than outright muscular, although some muscle like the ladies I posted earlier is cool.

I find Abby's character design unappealing too, personally, not just her physique but the whole lot, her outfit and styling too. I'm not against female characters like that existing altogether, so you can drop your pitchforks, it's just not to my taste and I certainly wouldn't want that kind of look for Lara.

I find Abby's design to be absolutely dreadful to be honest. The only thing Lara needs to "borrow" from Abby is her braid. The rest of the character Abby should burn in hell.

If that's the case, then 99% of TRF is made up of incels. And considering the franchise's large LGBT fanbase... yeah, I'm not buyin' it.
