The trailer for the game Fable for PC and Xbox Series X/S, shown during Xbox Games Showcase 2023, has sparked some controversy, largely related to the main protagonist. According to some players, she is very unattractive and even repulsive in appearance. Additionally, in their opinion, the choice of Playground Games stems from woke culture and therefore has an overtly politicized character.
Of course, other gamers have pointed out that it makes no sense to evaluate a character solely based on their physical attractiveness. Despite this, the Fable trailer became one of those that received the highest number of dislikes at the event, probably for this reason, as well as because many mistook it for a CGI video.
For example, user stillgray writes:
This is the main protagonist of the new game Fable from Microsoft. The trend of unattractive female protagonists in video games continues because beauty is objectification. This is what happens when you consult with intersectional woke feminists.
Another commentator wrote:
It seems that modern video game developers are competing to create the most hideous female protagonist.
Of course, there was no shortage of defenders. For example, from OrdinaryGamers, who noted that one of the critics of the main protagonist of Fable is not exactly beautiful herself.
In fact, she may not even be the mandatory protagonist of the game. In previous Fable games, players could customize their character, and most likely, this will also be possible in this one.
