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?
There was nothing wrong with a female protagonist back in the day.
Key word is: was.
Now you know why they're doing it, you know the motives and you know exactly why it's being shoved in your face.
These people are fucking pathetic, destroying the thing you love so they can be happy that you're sad.
Just ignore this shit, because you know it's shit. It clearly came from an ass.
