I can simultaneously think/feel two things:

1.) I think Hades has some cool and sexy characters/art

2.) Every time gamers — especially queer ones — start salivating loudly en masse about a game that’s wall-to-wall thin twink/supermodel types, part of me dies inside.
Small bonus if said gamers — again, especially queer ones — are also loudly proclaiming said game a victory for The Representation.

I legitimately do not know if people are doing this, re: Hades, but having played it, I can easily imagine it being so
Like if you only ever seem to be able to gush about how sexy this specific and extremely common body type is, re: character art, it might be worthwhile to ask yourself: "Am I being boring?"

If you feel particularly attacked by this tweet I& #39;d maybe ask yourself why, too.
Legitimately sorry if this seems like I& #39;m trying to scream "Hades is bad!" because it& #39;s not. I like the designs. They& #39;re iconic and fun and definitely created with sex appeal in mind. But it& #39;s that last bit that makes me sad, you know? Even as I enjoy it.
Queer visual novel and dating sim games, for example, countlessly seem to pop up with kickstarters or pitch sites talking about their hot and sexy cast of [insert identical gym bunny body types here] and it& #39;s like: bro, this is all you can find sexy? Just this?
