A fact not even disputed by this article.
I find it kind of funny how this biological male is complaining about angry boys
She could poison him or bang him and stab him in his sleep. I don’t think a fit female could over power and kill an over weight 40 year old male.
You know the use of the word murder is interesting as well. Because I don't think anyone is saying women can't murder a man, they are saying a woman killing a man in combat, especially hand to hand, is an outlier and not a rule
I'm just saying, we would not be suffering these delusional tirades if backhanding uppity broads was common practice. Most women have absolutely no idea how out of their league they are in the realm of physical violence.
Sean Connery has returned to us
But of course devs don't wanna do realistic female assassin shit. Not anymore.
Which is funny, I remember playing the first female Assassins Creed game, that spin off of 3. It was interesting the way she could get outfits and hide and do actual sneaky assassinations Hitman style, blending in with the help, donning a high society dress and mingling with the bourgeois, all kinds of stuff.
And she had silent killing tools at her disposal, with poison darts and strangulation devices and such.
It was still a little ridiculous, because people would notice some black broad trying to play high society in pre civil rights era USA, but it was a lot less "macho ma'am tranny savage" and a lot more real assassination type stuff
A woman could absolutely murder a strong combat-trained man. A woman outfighting that man is a different matter. I'm being pedantic, since the discussion is about the latter anyway, but it's interesting phrasing from the article.
Yes it is a little bit of a tiny linguistic motte and bailey ain't it?
He can't keep getting away with this!
Cooler than the Ghost of Kiev!
I fixed that last sentence for everyone but the author :)
Leftist bad faith and obfuscation. I don't think a lot of people would have a problem with a female protagonist if they didn't focus on her or her actress identity.
Jin Sakai is not white and I could care less if he identified as an attack helicopter. Jin Sakai worked because, even thought he is fictional, he embodies the japanese warrior spirit when the mongols invaded, a historical event. Yotei abandons all pretense of historical background in favor of showcasing how "deep" are women.
Make good games, we don't care about politics, you do. And the proof is in one of the first paragraphs
You glazed that game to death because it owned chuds. Ellie was a lesbian, Lev was trans or something and Abby was 'body diverse'. You even praised the synagogue segmen. But now it's suddenly bad because you realized it has the wrong politics? Fuck off, that game was garbage from the beginning
It's incredible how elastic that "best fit for the role" concept is when voice actors have to match the characters traits unless the character is white
I can hear the fat, frustrated, lesbo/tranny fingers pounding this article out.
what is dead may never die
A skate of crap if you ask me.
