im a trans woman and hate playing games with male leads since i was a kid lmao. so i can understand a degree of the angst. also dislike it when every woman in a game is a extremely horny bimbo. i mean, its relatable content as a bimbo myself, but still pretty annoying how every character looks the same and the only distinguishing features are haircut and outfit
id make exceptions for games that have female characters you play but also male characters. or monsterish characters and nonhuman/cartoony characters. just didnt like the prospect of being forced into some gruff old army guy's shoes
however the fact is women as a sole lead is incredibly rare. from my childhood i could count those games all on one hand. so the dudebros are just going stir crazy over the smallest slights

Pretty much. Though it's not as bad as it once was, most that have a single protagonist have a male protagonist. It's especially bad in JRPGs. Women/fems getting even the occasional lead character to relate to is really just too much for these losers
yeah. there was a reason i was addicted to pokemon as a kid. super non-sexualized and the gender choice really didnt matter at all. and the pokemans were cute
honestly lowkey think it was cause Satoshi Tajiri was just channeling his childhood memories and instincts into a game. and kids are surprisingly leftist just from the get-go if you dont constantly prompt them. asking why in the most annoying fashion possible is a leftist past time after all
This comment reminded me of a YouTuber that does drawing tuts and used to work in the games industry. He has videos for drawing male and female forms and the make video is filled with this wide range of body types, broad shouldered barrel chested, slandered, squat, what have you
And the female video is 5 different women that look exactly like you think except one or two have slightly bigger thighs lol

Pokemon is surprisingly leftist a lot of the time.

Just wanna grill but instead its just wanna catch insects but nature keeps being destroyed around him.
Pokemon has some sort of strange proto- anarcho-syndicalist thing going on and its lovely.
It does have a move literally named liquidation.

I know right? They have like a billion games with a stoic white dude to choose yet they lose their shit over a handful of woman leads.
it really does feel like their sense of gender identity is more distraught than mine and im really distraught over the fact i have a dick
