Hey, it's okay for us, 'men'. You know what happens with female protagonists (ie Samus).

Just check the rule34 zones on the internet.

If you're (not you specifically) actually bitching over a "lack of male protagonists" in videogames of all things without an hint of sarcasm, I'll elect to see it as sarcasm for my own peace of mind Very Happy

Stop being daft. Their point is that if you go to say, metacritic, and look at all the PS5 games, because this looks like a PS5 game, of the past year or two, and you count all the games with a main character whose gender you can't pick, you'll quickly see that female main character games are a lot more prevalent than male main character games.

Hmmmm...

Wait, hold on, I think my calculator is broken


Edit: Oh wait, nvm, I figured it out. My calculator is fine. It's just that I too missed the point. The point is that they feel like there are more female characters being pushed to the front nowadays. It might not be factual, but how one feels is important and should be respected.

What a bunch of incel bullshittery

Lack of male characters because instead of 1 out of 20 games having a female lead, now it's like 2 out of 10. Imagine being a female gamer and having to deal with this shit

Glad I was born a dude.

Though checking out that same metacritic link I think my numbers are a little high

It's still like 80-90% of games with male leads or both

Ironically it's still mostly dudes putting these chicks in their games because they like having cutesie chicks in their games

I mean, imagine having the option to play a male Lara Croft. Why would you even?

I usually play as a female if the male character sounds like some bozo: Hogwarts, Fallout 4, Far Cry and Assassin's Creed

Never in an MMO though. I'd feel creepy presenting myself as a woman to thousands of other people. Particularly with the sort of look given to females in most MMOs Laughing

I never had a female character in a game either.
In the game Voyage Century Online I had a female alt called 7coins though.

Edit: At some time some other player contacted me on 7coins account.
He (I suppose it was a he) wanted to talk about having a date or sex (can't remember). The conversation ended with him saying: "You just made a grown man cry."

Actually regret not picking female in Hogwarts and Valhalla. Female in Valhalla is canon i believe, but i found out later
