Fable trailer met with backlash over character\u2019s appearance Playground GamesSome Fable fans are unhappy with a character\u2019s appearance after noticing them in the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase trailer. Announced in 2020, the upcoming Fable reboot debuted during that year\u2019s Xbox Games Showcase. Fable still lacks a specific release date despite being featured at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase. The Fable series began in 2006 with Fable III launching in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PC. Therefore, many fans are anticipating the reboot after being away from the franchise for so long. Despite the enthusiasm, some viewers called out the Fable reboot\u2019s heroine for being \u201cweirdly unattractive.\u201d While some gamers agreed, others clapped back at the idea of criticizing a character\u2019s physical appearance in relation to how good of a character they are. Fable character\u2019s appearance doesn\u2019t meet some fans\u2019 expectations Following the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase, the Fable reboot trailer became the most disliked video of the event. However, it\u2019s unclear if the dislikes stemmed from the quality of the game or one character\u2019s appearance. The trailer\u2019s description reads: \u201cWhat does it mean to be a Hero? Well, in the fairytale land of Albion, that is entirely up to you. With a dark threat looming, and in a world where your reputation precedes you, your choices will change Albion forever.\u201d Several people expressed their satisfaction with how the female hero looked in the Xbox channel\u2019s Fable trailer. \u201cContinuing the trend of weirdly unattractive female main characters in video games, because beauty is objectifying,\u201d one unhappy user wrote. \u201cSeems like the modern game devs are competing with each other on who can make the ugliest female character,\u201d another viewer said. The backlash also continued on Twitter \u2013 where Mutahar disputed an angry gamer\u2019s qualification on commenting on attractiveness. In the original tweet, social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong slammed the Fable hero\u2019s appearance. \u201cThis is what happens when you consult with woke intersectional feminists,\u201d he wrote. In previous Fable games, you could customize your character to varying degrees. Therefore, it\u2019s possible that the character shown was just created by the developers rather than being the main character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
