Summary
- One Baldur's Gate 3 modder has yassified Auntie Ethel, y'know, the nice old woman who turns into a monstrous hag?
- Fans have criticised the mod for its ageism, as many others on the Nexus website seek to turn older characters young, erasing their wrinkles and making them look like Barbie dolls.
You know that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:kind old woman you meet in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, clearly up to no good as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:she keeps someone captive 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:right in front of you in the middle of an eerie swamp, all by herꦫself. What if she was young, prett𝔍y, and... clean?
Good news! You don't have to imagine it, because it's real. because "why not"? The answer of course being that everyone thinks it's a bit weird. Let grannies be grannies.
What's Wrong With A Few Wrinkles?
"She's a literal hag meant to look like an older kind woman," the Twitter user who first highlighted this mod said. "Why does she need to look like a young adult with good skin and fancy clothes? Y'all are so fu--ing scared of wrinkles and pores and spots that you have [to] get rid of it all and make the older characters look like they're 20/30. Why does an older character to have to pander to your sexual rotted brain".
Plenty in the comments and quote retweets were quick to agree, with the post itself reaching over 6,000 likes by the time of writing. "NOOOO HOW CAN [I] PLAY THE GAME IF NOT EVERY CHARACTER I ENCOUNTER IS SEXUAL𝄹LY GRATIFYING TO ME," commented one such fan.
If you wouldn't fu-- old Auntie Ethel you're a coward.
"She went from an actual hag to what VTubers on Twitter call hags," said one fan. "I'm crying."
"FU-- OFF, she's LITERALLY A HAG LET HER BE OLD AND WRINKLY," another—very passionately—commented.
Out of interest, I typed 'young' into the Nexus search bar and there are a lot of similar mods out there. Jaheira, Lae'zel, Astarion, Halsin, an🔯d even Shadowheart have all been yassified.
It's an epidemic, but it's hardly new in the world of modding. This has been going on since time immemorial, just look at any Witcher, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age, or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls game. As one commenter puts it, "It's like people just want plastic dolls".
