    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

      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.
