Sorry for posting roachman, but this guy using leftist speak to try and paint chuds as oppressed is the funniest shit to me.
Women have always been in the gaming industry, they were just ignored for the most part.
Video games were marketed as boys toys in the past, but even then girls played them and never had a problem playing as a male character.
If you can relate to a cartoon plumber that says mama mia and wahoo, but can’t relate to a women, I am deeply concerned for you. You don’t even have to relate to the main character to enjoy the game. I don’t relate to Kris Deltarune in the slightest, but I still enjoy the shit out of those games.
Really fucking funny that these people genuinely and truly believe that the reason people play Triple A Franchise is because of White Male Protagonist and not like you know the graphics or gameplay or story
@Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net shared a great little video the other day about tomb raider and why the fans loved it, it was for the levels, atmosphere and gameplay, not Lara, while the studios got it backwards and thought the people wanted Lara instead.
Tomb Raider is good game because big polygonal bazongas
Lara works on posters though :( Games are sold on aesthetics and hype not gameplay. You’d think streaming would change that but alas preorders are a huge portion of day 1 sales.
“How could you say that you don’t think gruff, male protagonist #5,673 was inspiring!”
the power fantasy is why all those guys look like that
The thing is I think the peak male power fantasy in gaming is actually Ezio Auditore
He’s strong, fast, a good fighter, witty, ambitious, good-looking, rich, a lady killer, a family man, and fights for what he believes in.
The fantasy is that he’s kind of like an ideal positive masculine figure who’s also just a well-written character
Even though he’s an It*lian
Idk Clive in FF16 is pretty good but I might be biased
If you ever need a shot to your ego. Remember there is a loud protest for all games to be the same generic slop. How do chuds not realize THEY’RE the reason everything is becoming unoriginal remakes? Because anything else might make people think, and if they think, they might….gasp entertain the idea they’re WRONG about things!
