This has been the case for years now, but it still boggles my mind. Gaming is an overwhelmingly male hobby. 90% of the people playing enthusiast level video games are male. Yet the clear majority of protagonists in these products are female.

New resident evil? Female protagonist.

New Ghost of Tsushima? Female protagonist.

New Hollow Knight? Female protagonist.

New Silent Hill? Female protagonist.

New World of Warcraft expansion? Female protagonist.

And that’s just the biggest trailers of the night. Gay ass indie is almost entirely female (or queer coded) characters.

Is there another industry that hates its own core customer base this much?
