What Lara Croft And Mortal Kombat’s Jade Would Look Like As REAL Women

1

Bulimia.com, an organization supporting people struggling with eating disorders, is calling attention to unrealistic and potentially damaging body image depictions in gaming by reverse photoshopping some of its most famous characters.

2

‘These days, there’s rarely a media type that isn’t criticised for its body image depictions, and video games are no exception,’ the organisation writes on its website.

3

‘Some gaming studios boast their hyper-realistic lighting techniques, touting natural cloud movements as the latest features of their games.’

4

‘And with that kind of attention to detail, it makes us wonder, why can’t they accurately portray the female body?’

5

The charity redesigned characters like, Halo’s Cortana, Final Fantasy’s Rikku, and Mortal Kombat’s Jade to represent the average American woman’s measurements.

6

While depictions of women are often scrutinised in industries such as advertising, video games can be overlooked.

Bulimia.com says: ‘If video game creators are going to pride themselves on accurate digital representations, then it’s time for them to get real about women.’
