The number of people I’ve seen defending ghost of yotei’s pivot to “yet another girl boss main character”… I’d like to think it’s mostly just crypto lefties who are falling back to a more defensible position, but it really does feel like normies rejoicing in the water’s return to a slower boil.

Why can’t we prefer that established male franchises remain male? Why can’t a preference for male protagonists be respected the same as any other? It reminds me of the illegal immigration debate. “You can turn everything female, but you need to do it the right way!”
