If we are talking about realism and female ninjas then I have bad news.
Although kunoichi have appeared in numerous creative works, including novels, TV-dramas, movies, and manga, Mie University historians have concluded that there are no historical records of female ninja performing reconnaissance and subversive activities in the same manner as their male counterparts.

So much better that they still operate to this day and one of them is right behind you.

Yes, the very libtards you're defending.
Defending by saying she actually looks like an attractive japanese woman with an above-average breast size, pouty lips that would require plastic surgery, etc.,?
You're mindbroken from looking at asian porn. Asian women weigh like 90 lbs and have no boobs.
I'm not the one defending a woke Ubisoft product and their design decisions here.
Reminds me of some online creators saying we must "claim" these games since they contain elements that align with "us". It's absurd. That we even pretend radical leftist ideology isn't factoring into every story and design decision by this point is dishonest. Furthermore, you see well built, giant samurai often as enemies in the game world. Is that realistic? Or the sumo woman whose only rival in weight/height is Yasuke himself? They could have easily buffed her body at the very least given these "standards" already on display. But they didn't.

"Ordinary people being heroes". What about Naoe is ordinary to begin with? She doesn't even fit within the framework of that argument. Everything she does, her entire position within Japanese society, is extraordinary. No one in the game even tries to question her ability to rival men. It borders on mythological. And mythological figures often possess beyond ordinary features, they represent the best of that culture. This is a concept the left fear, because they don't want an ethnocultural shift in any western or westernised country. If Naoe appears a rather "average" Japanese woman, it means any Japanese woman could fill her shoes. Then, eventually, that means any non-Japanese woman could fill her shoes. This has already happened to European culture, and now the Japanese need to be brought to heel.

1. I know who you are talking about. That Brony centrist ****** Arch.
And
2. I know I sound like a broken record saying this but the whole "Ordinary people being heroes" thing usually comes from women. Just look at every modern book ever written by a woman. In every one of their books they usually describe the main female character as being "ordinary", "plain, "average", "unassuming", "unambitious", etc. Contrast this to how men write their main characters which has the main character either stand out in either looks or personality. Something that makes them different and marks them for destiny. Given that most of the people who worked on *** Creed Shadows were women it isn't a surprise that they went with the "Ordinary people being heroes" spiel.

Leftards, weebs, and coomers are the reason gaming is in the state it is today. This game has numerous problems that I can point out even without playing, but the ***** ninja appearance isn’t one of them. She looks completely normal and is even attractive by Asian standards. Even her body would be considered more attractive than average—let alone back in those times, before BPA and other good old chemicals

You're only saying that because they're doing it to something you don't care, failing to see where things are going.

Imagine someone translating the Bible to another language, and instead of trying to stay as faithful to the text as possible, surmounting the challenges of different vocabularies, idioms, cultural norms, sentence structures et al, they decide they are the better writer, and instead of translating, they start writing their own Bible fanfic while pretending they're doing a faithful translation, changing character personalities, stories, endings etc.

That's heresy and cultural vandalism. Games might seem trivial in comparison, sure, but the same thought process motivates all these attempts to warp and censor written text - the left's need to establish cultural hegemony so they can control the narrative.

Weebs were around for decades and, shockingly, gaming was fine. It's not like weebs ever came over to other communities and demanded their products be more Japanophilic.

"Coomer" is just the term leftists use to shame anyone that thinks attractive women are a thing, and it's actually highly successful because there's plenty of people on the right that want to virtue signal.

If your immediate association when you see an attractive woman is "porn", then the issue is with you.

"you can OPTIONALLY murder the mother of God so it doesn't count"
The truth is that there's nothing the Japanese actually care about at the same level as a Catholic's devotion to God, so they have to pretend it's some big deal to break vases inside a shrine for a religion none of them follow.
Maybe if you want to offend the Japanese you could include manga books being ripped up or put clothing on naked women, the two things they seem to worship.
I suppose it's because vengeance ultimately belongs to God. So mocking the faith, just humiliates yourself.

That said, we need to slap the jap, and Uncle Sam's the man to do it.

Except that female ninjas did their thing via seduction, so not looking like an androgynous freak was considered a requirement.

Also, funny how the same "realistic" standards don't apply to the gigantic, jacked-up ******, and that "realism" only comes into the discussion when the topic is attractive women, because the ****** samurai slaughtering hundreds of enemies is realistic, as is a tiny Japanese woman doing the same. Because realism is important.

I'm frankly tired of liberals waging war on female beauty standards.

And yes, heroes need to look good - they're heroes, they are meant to represent the best humanity has to offer. Leftists are the mentally ill ******* that want to drag everyone and everything down to their level of mediocrity.

Peak femininity according to French leftists is... let me check my notes... looking like a little boy?

That's how asian women actually look.
I concur. Supporting evidence: I find many East Asian women attractive including this one.

Asian women don't even look realistic in real life, no race in the world uses so much visual deception to look attractive. Even the traditional jap ideal of beauty is women with so much makeup on it entirely obscures their face. Attractive asian women are CGI people.
That's true. I always found their obsession with surgical masks as a fashion item to be ****** beyond belief. They have no love for their God-given faces.

She's 100% exactly as attractive as Aloy with no deviation. She's the Japanese Aloy.

Edit: Aloy has a significantly nicer body than Naoe

After analyzing your feedback, I have come to the conclusion that she is very unattractive. This is considered the most attractive Japanese woman:
