At this point, I’m just rejecting the premise that female protagonists are inherently good. If leftists were allowed to be sick of the constant stream of masculine space marine dudebro protagonists of 15 years ago, then I’m allowed to be sick of the constant stream of masculine frumpy sassy girlboss protagonists of the last 5+ years.

If consumers are permitted to have preferences based upon identities, then that sword cuts both ways. So I’m going to express open annoyance and disappointment with any game that forces me to play as a feminist self-insert, same as all of the feminists behaved when gaming was catering to me instead of them.

Of course, I was a paying customer buying tens of games a year. How are the feminist games doing? Oh, they have to infiltrate and subvert already-successful franchises and studios in order to “flourish”? And then then, feminism can end up tanking once-invincible IPs like marvel and Star Wars? Neat.
