[ID: Three pictures of Abnur Tharn reading a pile of papers labelled as “work”, and grey anonymous ball with black sunglasses. In the first picture, the anonball is behind Tharn, and Tharn has some purple spell around his left hand. In the second picture, Tharn has his hand with the  spell half raised and the anonball is floating wrapped in purple glow.  In the third picture, Tharn has his left hand extended to the side, and  the anonball is flying in the direction, spinning quickly, and for  comedy reason the black sunglasses are still in the air where it has  been on the previous picture. In the background is the word “YEET”  written in black Daedric letters with purple-blue glow.]

PREACH!!!!!

I originally responded as a repost to this post by asgardswinter but I think it's important that the entirety of the fandom knows this.

Below is my response:

There's a few problems with your take here and I'll break it down in the most respectful way possible.

1. Motion Capture and Actors

Call of Duty uses Motion Capture to animate its characters in game, which reflects the actor's real-life motions, and consequently (In Call of Duty's case) the image of the actors themselves.

"big cod fanartists draw the characters eerily similar to the VA’s even though the characters look VERY different from the VA’s."

When we look at Neil Ellice and John MacTavish's character model, the similarities are very close because the game developers have based Soap's looks off of Neil.

Here we have an in-game screenshot of Soap from MW3 2022 and Neil Ellice

The player model looked so similar, that they even had Neil do a live action sequence for advertising (Sources: Neil Ellice's Instagram).

Link to advertisement reel on Neil's Instagram

Link to sneak peak inside the studio on Neil's Instagram

"It also bothers me that these fanartists draw some of the characters such as Gaz and Simon exactly like the zionist VA’s even tho they clearly look very different."

Ok, I see that you mentioned Gaz and Elliot Knight. Let's analyze them.

Here's an image of Elliot Knight (Source: imdb.com)

Here is a skin available in the reboot MW3's store.

Elliot also appears as Gaz in the live action sequence for the Call of Duty advertisement (Again, Link to advertisement and an image from the live-action set from Neil's Insta)

Do you see the similarities? When the animators and sculptors were creating the characters, they essentially scanned the actors into their data-base and used them as the base models for each character.

A few other examples are:

Alejandro Vargas and Alain Mesa John Price and Barry Sloane Phillip Graves and Warren Kole

The fanbase, and in extension the large COD artists, are making assumptions that Simon 'Ghost' Riley's face will also reflect Samuel Roukin's facial structure because of the techniques the game developers used when creating the other characters. I encourage you to look further into how Motion Capture was used during the making of the Call of Duty Franchise.

2. Zionism, the Actors, and the Character's themselves

"Like u have no problem with drawing characters looking like real people that support genocide. Its despicable. Get a grip and stop being complicit in this."

Has it ever crossed your mind that there are other, different ways a person could protest Zionism?

Your way is completely erasing the Zionist actor's participation, which includes trying to change how the characters canonically look (With an exception for Ghost). While I respect your choice, it is simply not easy to change a game character's appearance, especially if we can clearly see the similarities between actor and character.

Drawing and creating such masterpieces is hard to do from scratch and artists use references from the game, which will, in extension, reflect the actors.

Does that mean the artist agrees with the actor's support of Zionism? No. Unless explicitly stated that they support Zionism and the actors, the only thing you've made are very damaging assumption.

These artists are paying tribute to a franchise that they enjoy interacting with and they have free will to choose what they want to look at, receive, and contribute.

Wombywoo blocking people for accusing her of being a Zionist is a fair and reasonable action, especially if the messages you are sending contains cursing, slurs, and other offensive and rude language. It's considered spam.

If you want to point out that an artist is supporting a Zionist actor, respectful language is the best way to get your point across.

Do I support Israel and Zionism? No. Hard no. I am extremely disappointed in both Roukin and Elliot for having such viewpoints and supporting such groups. The slaughter in Palestine and other surrounding countries needs to stop and Israel needs to be held accountable.

However, the game material and the characters do reflect the actors and the artists who portray 141 like their actors are doing so because they want to stick as close as possible to the original content.

The character's personalities are different from the actors and their careers are completely different, as well.

The best thing to do if content reminds you of something is to block that category and move on. Especially when the content reflects the in-game designs and consequently look like the in-real-life actors.

You are entitled to your own opinion, asgardswinter (this reply post does not encourage any user to go harass the original user), but there is more to these characters than just their voice actors. Find something else to associate the 141 with instead of their VA's and continue spreading the information that Roukin and Elliot support Zionism, but don't harass artists that draw the characters like their in-game designs who have not explicitly stated that they show support for Zionism themselves.

This is one of the best Inquisition takes I’ve ever seen. 🤣

The implications of the Inquisitor romancing Cullen is actually really funny if you think about it.

Like here is Orlais vying for gossip and scandal and lo and behold - a Fereldan man of no title or renown is apparently romantically involved with the Inquisitor and is the literal Commander of their army. That looks atrocious from the outside. What is he, some kind of upstart? I can only imagine the Orlesian court envisioning Cullen as this suave Casanova who is sleeping his way to the top and manipulating some of the most powerful people in Thedas to get where he is and when they meet him he’s literally just some guy.

“He’s using the Inquisitor to gain rank” and it’s a man that runs away from women and can’t flirt to save his life. Yeah that’s the master game player guys

Here comes talent, everyone!

Woe, Simcoe be upon ye 🌙

[wrongsalad]

Oh, snap! This is too good. 👍🏻😆

Guess…

guess guess guess guess guess guess guess guess guess guess

[wrongsalad]

Good lord, more of this please! 👍🏻❤️

These COD Y/n are not it!!

I’m tired of the barrack bunny stuff or the over exaggerated breasts and butts figure. AND saying she is a lieutenant around early 20s. That doesn’t make sense!!!

Girl- Gimme one y/n that makes people question about how old she is when she mentioned stuff she did in the 70s, 80s and 90s!!!

Mine [oc] is like that and have beef with Buses and electric cars.

I want Y/n to be like:

Y/n: Move your ass! What are you waiting around here for?! The bus!

———

Y/n: *smokes* i haven’t heard that song from Megadeth since they did an open performance for Dio…

Soap: how old are you again?

———

Laswell: I remember you got me to go to that party. Left me alone and shit.

Y/n: Hey! That got you to open up and meet your wife. I’m still bitter that you didn’t bring me to the honeymoon.

Laswell: You didn’t help.

Y/n: yes I did!

———

Gaz: Captain told me you got a tattoo.

Y/n: yeah *rolls up sleeve* here.

Gaz: not that one. You have another one.

Y/n: I’m not telling you, Kid.

Nik: *passing by* It’s a tramp stamp. That said Hugh Jackman.

Y/n: Bastard!!

Gaz: *wheezing*

———

Ghost: The Bus! It’s going to ram into the crowd!

Y/n: I never trust those things!

Soap: What?!

Y/n: shoot the wheels!

Soap: What?!

Y/n: Did I ask for driver to pull over?!Shoot the wheels damn it!!

———

Price: You would make a good captain.

Y/n: I would’ve been a terrible one.

Price: I know. *Chuckles*

———

Y/n: I need to be taken out.

Gaz: like on a date?

Y/n: No by a sniper.

Ghost: That’s one way to a man’s heart.

———

Gaz: you got kids?

Y/n: Yep. 2 boys.

Soap: wouldn’t mind looking after your wee lads if you croak…

Y/n: they’re in their 20s Soap. What do you mean croak? I’m old not that old.

Gaz: How old are you-

Y/n: Focus on the mission.

———

Y/n: Damn I can’t read this… *pulls out reading glasses from her vest pouch*

Price: *struggles to keep a straight face*

THATS WHAT I WANT!

1. That joke NEVER gets old.

“Yes – we're a team. All of us. This happened on my watch, and I'll need help to fix it. No one fights alone.”

So we all know about the new zombie variant of Ghost now

And we all noticed how the arm with the tattoo is implied to be Soap's arm, yeah? I know people are scream "Ghoap" at this but...

Did we also notice the arm that Soap's arm is clutching for dear life?

My fellow people. That's PRICE'S arm. Not Ghost's. The way Soap is CLINGING to Price's arm like that...it's like they died together and Soap was holding onto him like, "Cap'n, I don't want to die"..."Price, I'm scared"..."John, I'm sorry"

This just feeds into my poly!TF141, sorry....

Also let's pour one out for Farah as well 🫠🥲 Not only do you see Gaz's hat but also Farah's head band thing

There are just so many little details in this skin, I absolutely LOVE it....to bad its locked behind the $25 version of the BP

[wrongsalad]

That's the spirit! 💀

I actually don't want to fix him, I think whatever he has wrong with him is hotter

Bondage is knot for everyone, Simon. 🤨

Normal conversations to have on the plane

I'm also doing more cod art on Patreon!

[wrongsalad]

Ghost : Y/N, you heard the joke about the gas lighter?

Y/N : umm no?

Ghost : yes you have 🤨

Y/N : no, I don’t?

Ghost : you’ve literally heard it already 🙄

Y/N : Wha— no, I didn’t!

Ghost : you’re crazy

Y/N : Simon, what the fuck are you talking about 😭

Ghost : see, this is why I told you to not be on the phone so much 🙄

On the topic of Gaz erasure:

I feel like there needs to be a mention that it's not just the fandom participating in gaz erasure. He's deeply ignored by the game itself which I think contributes to the main issue at hand. Checked the store since there was a free item available:

No gaz whatsoever. I loved farah being included, but in place of gaz makes it VERY MUCH seem that activision is just treating the characters as 'generic swappable poc' rather than actually treating them like the main characters they are and it's contributing to the gaz erasure/lack of content in comparison we've seen. I appreciate the homage to NES but we're not in old-school graphical restrictions anymore. There is no reason for the text to HAVE to be that big. He could've easily fit and had his own cool art! It would've been sick! He's not included on the calling card in the other tab either. His inclusion is actively not encouraged by the game and extra content itself. It's not completely on activision, but also not completely on the fandom. I feel like a lot of people could do a lot better. Edit: for reference, the bundle for the '8 bit blitz' pack does not include gaz either, and he is swapped in place of farah. It's sad when he's excluded out of a fun event like this, especially one that has a bit more wider appeal than the throwaway fallout event.

My investigator buddy sent me this with “Ghost IRL, making the bad guys fear the dark.”

I mean, look at this big boy in a skull mask…
