#he isnt a twink hes a broad shouldered man who canonically likes curvy women and has liked them since he was 13

my problem with anduin's new look isn't the grime or the hair or the beard, i agree it makes sense for him to have those, it's that it has zero connection to his old cinematics model 😭😭 like..... if you compare the two carefully his eyebrows are completely different, his cheeks are less pronounced, his button nose is gone, his hair is darker for no reason etc. idk he used to have a more stylized and unique look to him and now he just looks like every male action protagonist ever

I don't know how to explain this to you and I don't want to be mean about this, I'm trying really hard not to come off that way, but both time and stress ages a person. Anduin was absent for three years having horrific PTSD from when he was dominated and was roughing it on his own. Eyebrows grow, he's probably dehydrated from being in a desert wasteland, he never even had a button nose to begin with, and hair darkens naturally overtime.

The complaint that he looks like "every male action protagonist ever" is so bizarre to me, and one said by a lot of people. As it turns out, white boys tend to grow up and look like white men, and when the bar for looking like a white man is "short hair and a beard," you trip over that easily.

Did you expect him to never age at all ever? Or is this a case of you guys being trapped in your "progressive" gender stereotypes that the moment a guy that isn't traditionally masculine doesn't shave for a week it means he's a completely different person now?
