Yeah, you're right, it's just so weird to me, like I didn't mind playing as non-white/male characters in games when I was a literal child and it's not like I was a super enlightened 10 year old or anything
one of the most popular games from my childhood was tomb raider where you were forced (at controllerpoint no less) to play as a woman
it was wildly popular
I do wonder how Tomb Raider would be recieved if it was released today just as it was 1996, but with modern graphics.
Like on the one hand, forced to play as a woman. On the other hand though, if Lara had the design she had in 1996 would they not mind because she fits their traditional ideas of what "hot" is? Like modern Lara seems to piss them off I know that (even though she's still very much hot) but would old school Lara in modern graphics piss them off if it was a new franchise being released for the first time today? Makes me think.
Well you just brought to mind Last of Us 2 and the Horizon games. Both of which feature a female protagonist and both were subject of weird online chud tantrums.
They complained about the newer Tom Raider games too.
i wonder how GTA San Andreas would be received today . it already caused a stir that made some people not want to play as a black person back in the day

I feel like it would suffer Seinfeld Syndrome and nobody would give a shit about it at all

fr, I was also a Jill Valentine "main" in Resident Evil (admittedly some of that was because you got to hang out with the GOAT Barry Burton but still)

Kids almost always have to be taught racism. Like they'll pick it up from their elders but it takes a few years.
