I’m honestly getting tired of seeing people act like Lara Croft being feminine automatically means she was designed for the male gaze.

Lara has ALWAYS been feminine, confident, intelligent, independent and, yes, sexy. That has always been part of her identity. She became an icon because she resonated with girls and boys, women and men, across generations. You can’t just erase that part of her character because the way we talk about female characters has changed.

And I genuinely think some people have no idea what women who climb actually look like 😭 I spend enough time in the gym to see the women who climb regularly, and no, they don’t suddenly turn into Hulk because they climb. They tend to develop a very strong back, defined shoulders and toned arms while staying relatively lean. Being lighter and not carrying unnecessary bulk can actually be an advantage when you’re constantly lifting and moving your own body weight.

So yes, Lara can have a feminine body AND be an incredibly skilled climber, carry weapons, survive dangerous environments and climb mountains. These things are not mutually exclusive.

And another thing people seem to forget: yes, Tomb Raider has been moving towards a more realistic visual style, especially with its graphics and overall presentation, but that does NOT mean the game is supposed to be realistic in the same way as something like Uncharted.

Lara is still an extraordinary adventurer. Her abilities are beyond what the average person could realistically do. That’s literally part of the fantasy of Tomb Raider. Making the world and characters look more realistic doesn’t mean every aspect of Lara has to suddenly follow real-world limitations.

And can we PLEASE stop acting like a woman wearing shorts, a tank top or having cleavage automatically means she was created specifically for men? That’s such a reductive way of looking at female characters.

Her classic outfit is iconic. Her femininity is iconic. Her confidence is iconic. None of that prevents her from being a badass adventurer.

You can prefer a different body type or a more realistic art direction, that’s completely fine. But acting like Lara being feminine is somehow a flaw, or proof that she was made for men, completely misses the point of the character.

And honestly, if you actually know Tomb Raider, you should know Lara has always been much bigger than that. She has inspired girls, women, men and queer people for decades. Reducing her to “a hot woman made for men” is ironically doing exactly what you claim you’re against.

So personally, I’m so excited for Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis to be out and put my hand on it ! I’m so excited to explore the lore 🥹✨

@Lararomanian Hai mă serios ? Du-te înapoi în cameră Vasile și nu mai ieși 😂😭

@SharkSmirk I guess it’s just a different kind of sport 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sport for aesthetics and sport for strength.
Nothing wrong with both side ^^

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@WhatsYourGame3 @L2kgames OK, but now we’re talking about legacy of Atlantis 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@WhatsYourGame3 Oh wow, the male gaze is really going crazy here 🥸😂

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@Flying_Wild_Hog Lara, turn on the torch. We need to see what’s lurking in the shadows ! 😶‍🌫️

@PlayTombRaider Can’t wait to make some selfies with them hahaha 👀

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

It looks terrifying and so good !!! I’m so excited ✨🔫🔫

As Lara descends into Egypt's tombs, she encounters something... strange. Don't miss a new mini-doc episode on Monday!

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@meryxln @nayeonrobot I put this here…. Her proportions are completely fine 🥸People are just loving complaining.

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@immashootyouxx I hope my reply to her was enough clear 👀😭 those people are just wasting my energy…

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

I genuinely think you’re missing the point of Lara Croft as a character.

Lara has ALWAYS been a very feminine, confident, intelligent woman with sex appeal. That’s literally part of what made her such an iconic character. She resonated with girls and boys, women and men, across generations. And being feminine doesn’t automatically mean she was created for men or that she was hypersexualized.

Also, have you ever actually seen the body of a woman who climbs? 😭 I do climbing myself, and I can tell you women don’t suddenly look like Hulk because they climb. You develop a strong back, toned arms, etc., while generally staying relatively lean. Being as light as possible is actually extremely useful when you literally have to lift your own body weight.

So Lara being feminine, carrying weapons, wearing shorts and a tank top doesn’t somehow make her unrealistic or “made for men”. Those things can coexist.

And that outfit is literally one of her most iconic looks. You can prefer a different body type, obviously, but turning her femininity into a problem feels like completely missing what Lara Croft has always been.

Honestly, it kinda feels like you’re projecting today’s conversations about women and sexualization onto a character without really understanding the character or the franchise.

Maybe they saw us all weirded out about them changing "Scion" to the "correct pronunciation" and will change it back finally.

I'm sorry but it *should* be pronounced "skee-on". The name of THE first artifact of TR can't just change 30 yrs later and us like it.

imo it'd be better if the bar was placed under her health bar it looks neater that way instead of being at the center of the screen.
even if they lower it down it's still distracting-

The flowers have never been officially described as navigation markers. They’re not there to tell us where the exit or the correct path is.

Instead, their placement and color can sometimes draw the player’s eye toward certain areas while also appearing in places where there’s nothing to find.

They’re less a “trail” and more a cohesive part of the environment.

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

The new Tomb Raider video released today shows that Lara Croft’s bangs are finally animated!
They actually follow gravity and look much thinner and more natural, just like they did in the first trailer. 🥹✨

[Croft-noyha @Croft_noyhader]

@LordksOP That’s awesome ! Anyway, I like your work so much so I have nothing to say I was just curious 🫶🏻✨
