#I’m just always over here wishing for more body diversity - especially for unconventionally attractive features if you want to call em that

The whiteness of Karl's teeth doesn't bother me near as much as how perfectly straight they are. As though he had braces and consistently wears his retainer every night.

That’s fair lol. I’m very big on the whole “characters’ bodies should look lived in relative to their lives/occupation etc” thing and it’s very jarring that he has flawless straight teeth with zero stains when he’s smoking in almost every scene and the rest of him is…. Disheveled to say the least lol. I guess you could argue it was deliberately done to be a sort of unsettling Cheshire Cat smile that would tip off the player that he shouldn’t be trusted but I know the reality is most likely that they just didn’t care and made one tooth model that they slapped on every character hahah.

Arthur Morgan is still like the only video game character that comes to mind as having teeth that don’t look unsettlingly “perfect.” And even he just has some yellowing/a couple chipped teeth which, given his lifestyle, is believable but he still looks a lil too conventionally attractive imho.

Like I said, I still envision/write Karl with more realistic chompers. Maybe that’s bc irl I have a gap between my two front teeth and (like most people) would not survive that stupid “napkin test” those whitening toothpaste commercials like to show. Idk! But glad to know I’m not alone in wishing that there was a little more follow through with the body diversity.
