The Definition of "Handsome"

Hey, he has a thing for handsome white men, don't shame him.

Thirst is fine and acceptable in 14

Something something, but the game is sold worldwide!

Besides... Isn't Clive like the SE-mc-handsomecutie-face: the disheveled edition. Meteor Hiroshi Derplander ran so Clive could fly, yeah?

Let me be absolutely clear that from the perspective of most players when we saw Zero it was blatantly obvious that we were looking at a female face

I...I thought she was a dude until she opened her mouth. o.o

[Absimiliard]

Then they must love the lion's share of dudes playing this game.

I saw her as a woman. She just had that FromSoftware NPC that will probably die when you accidentally miss a step in their questline energy in English. (I'm sorry, Eileen the Crow) And I love the design because she's just a big Vampire Hunter D reference.

Female Vampire Hunter D is exactly what went through my mind when I first saw her

Which is amusing because her facial design is Amano-esque anyway

"Yes, you can use the adjective handsome for women.

While handsome is more often used for men, women can also be called handsome. When a woman is described as handsome, it suggests that she is very good-looking, and also healthy and strong. Handsome is less likely to be used to describe a woman who is petite or delicate. "

...or feminine.

From my experience, when a women is called handsome it is not used as a term of endearment. It is used offensively.

I do accept that it's your experience, but in books I've read, some kinda old in the context they were written, women were called "handsome" at times but in a quite neutral manner. Heck in the Valentione quest this time around our companion was called "handsome", like someone mentioned earlier. A woman like a Highlander would get called that.

Also I understand your take on femininity/masculinity applying only on women/men respectively, Gemina. I've seen your posts across time on that topic, and sometimes I agree. But just like men can embrace being androgynous or even feminine - like Veena M Viera for example - women can embrace their naturally brawny, tall or muscular stature too. Sometimes people just don't fit the box they "belong" to, and they can pull that off too.
