Smh, Xbox is apparently asking developers on their developer support site to not make female characters with "exaggerated body proportions".

I feel another point should get more attention:

"When the story allows, do you show male characters who display a full range of emotions, including joy, sadness, and vulnerability?"

This is something I feel is lacking in recent years. That is a reason I like Gale in BG3 so much (and to a lesser extend also the other male companions): he is a person with flaws and strengths and emotional range. In recent years I feel like female characters are more easily displayed with such depth and range, but male characters often are lacking. Game devs should really follow this advice more.
