    The comic highlights the differences in the portrayal of women and men in media, often oversexualizing women in any number of contexts.

    A medieval maid milking the cows would probably not have looked (or smelled) like a supermodel.

    tbf humans are the most intensively bred species on earth

    i mean, humans have selected favorable animals in their livestock since the beginning of domestication, but the same applies to humans as well. it's very probable that humans have selected for hot-looking women since the very beginning of humanity. it's only logical to assume that we're seeing the results today, i.e. hot-looking women in general

    Female character during a time where only royals could afford cleanliness and health: is fit, healthy, and conventionally attractive

    Male character during the same time: fuckin filthy, feeble, and gross

    Afaik that's a myth. People of all classes, always washed themselves and tried their best not to smell. Especially in the middle ages where it was widely believed that bad smells transmit disease.

    It may vary from region to region, I once visited the Museum of Soap and History of Dirt in Bydgoszcz, Poland (wonderful experience!) and it was all au contraire to what you just said

    And everytime I heard historians scratching that topic, they would always confirm this information. So historically not much hygiene in Eastern Europe, I suppose.

    "The past" ^TM is a big place and a lot of very different things happend in a lot of different places at different times.

    The same way it is true that "In the past people believed that fat was super unhealthy and suger was super healthy" and at the same time "in the past people believed that fat was super healthy and suger was super unhealthy".

    Both statements are correct for different times and regions.

    But trying your best as a medieval peasant versus as a medieval noble would have significantly differing results

    It could be the sequel also, but I highly recommend. An excellent story, challenging but interesting gameplay, and a dev studio that didn’t abandon their goals or devs for a quick cash out
