They used to market entire game franchises (Fear Effect most notably) on the female protagonists having girlfriends, as male titilation. Obviously that sucks too, but somehow gamers have gone even further backwards than the male gaze of the 90s.
R.I.P. Tomb Raider
Yes, the game that breathed life back into the series and put it on the radar again is the one that killed it.
Twitter has given way too many chuds the self-illusion of numbers.

It's Le X(tm), which is fitting because so many of them are reactionary burnouts that peaked in the Xtreme 90s.
Fucking good. Can the "gamers" FINALLY GTFO the hobby they stole from me? Don't they have some NFL to be watching? Don't they have some golf to play with their fellow WASP pigs as they talk about eating babies or the plan to frame the Jews for their next fuckup again or something?
Unironically, NORMIES GET OUT!
The worst thing Halo did for the zeitgeist of its time was fuse douchebag bro culture with the toxic side of consumerist nerd culture.
the most egregious thing about new tomb raider is that they humanized the violent bourgeois sociopath who goes around the world murdering people and stealing their cultural artifacts
A funny twist on the genre, whether in game or movie form, would be an archaeologist cat burgler who goes around robbing western museums and sending valuable artifacts back to their homelands, while deliberately dressing up like Indiana Jones.
Yeah, the last game in the current trilogy at least explored the "Am I the asshole?" angle a little bit.
Lara has sex with her gf https://twitter.com/MelonieMac/status/1671180971368955905
Lara has pretty much been a lesbian since they tried and failed to give her a bf in Angel Of Darkness
I was so hype for that game back in the day, such a letdown. Kurtis was so so SO very dumb too, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
I can't tell if this fan fiction or the writers at crystal dynamics having their "hard work" being spilled all over the kitchen floor... either way it's hilarious! 🤭
The dae le not mad emoji totally hides the rage.
QUICK, POST WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE TRAD GOMMUNITY ALL DECIDE TO HATE LARA CROFT
Ethics in Games Journalism had a golden age in the 90s when Lara Croft was presented specifically for
purposes while peddling beverages and 
peripherals with double entenres about how the consumer is a horny loser for consuming the product according to the ad, and the horny losers gobbled it up, oinking all the while.Years ago I watched a playthrough of the 2013 Tomb Raider on NicoNicoDouga and weird Japanese chud commenters were mad because they didn't think Sam looked Japanese enough- even worse, they thought she had an "ugly Korean face"
Beloved heroine that inspired many.
Who are these "many" that were no longer inspired because scary lesbian wokeness?

isn't this the guy that got banned from Planet Fitness because he kept bringing a loaded gun?

Reject tomb raider return to 2003 indina jones and the emperors tomb (don’t actually it’s v bad pls)
Retvrn to Fate of Atlantis, which is actually good.
(For a very good more current archeology/history discovery game that takes a more realistic approach, I recommend Heaven's Vault)
