      This just in: we're being informed that even some of the male population aren't white, and therefore political obama-sad

    If a fictional character is a role model for you, you are 12 or younger.

    Women do be female and doing things

    I'm a male and I want some male role models too!

    Maybe look for them somewhere other than Ubisoft's GTA Star Wars?

      We also have like 30 years worth of Star Wars expanded lore that's male focused, just saying.

        Be careful what you suggest - leave it up to these dorks and they'll idolize someone like Anakin or Syril Karn lmao

          Given how most young groypers want to just kill women they probably cheer when he force chokes Padme in ROTS.

          Karn is too obviously pathetic to idolize, although depending on how they work through the

            Andor S2 would probably be worse off with a Sydra pairing, but I'm morbidly curious to see if it happens. I'll shut up and let Gilroy & co cook lol

    Why are they making all these authority figures female when they could've just added more hot Twilek slave girls instead????

    Ah good old minority salience. The hilarious part of it is when women start joining a male-dominated group, the men feel threatened and leave, turning it into a women-majority group. Hopefully this is what happens to gamer culture. sicko-fem

    jawas pro[b]ably shouldn't have human gender at all, and i doubt they wrote anything interesting for an imperial pickme but the rest is just brainworms

    2/10 no hutts canonically changing sex to reproduce.

      Jawas should have no concept of gender but 7 sexes, and their courtship rituals are mostly working out if their parts are compatible.

        And "parts" also includes whatever salvage piles they have, to see if they can rig up a compete thingumabob.

        i don't know what disney has been up to but there was a long-running thing where pov charachters and the audience don't know anything about jawas, and i prefer that, but if they have to ruin the mystery then yeah

    he describes a droid as being female. can droids be female? isn't that like a biological designation, as opposed to gender / "woman" which has social characteristics.

    I am legit asking because I don't know and am not trying to be glib or shitty.

      Getting infected with cutis femininus virus ("cooties") as an adult man is super dangerous, this is why men evolved to naturally respond negatively to even the mere presence of a graphical representation of a fictional woman. I watched too many cartoons with girl characters and look what happened to me!

      Do y'all just not like women??

      Yeah. They just dress it up in 'dae too many femoids in my vidya games?!' instead of outright saying 'I literally hate women.'

    These people don't like games, they like being catered to.

    Fuck off out of the medium forever, you won't be missed.

    Is using "female" instead of "woman" (or similar) a dogwhistle now?

    Whatever happened to gary cooper. The strong silent type.

    Imagine being this fuckin imbecile. How removed from any sort of reality does one have to be to say "Its becoming too much to consume my Disney slop no.1244236".
