Because a badass woman wondering around a post apocalyptic society kicking arse is downright laughable.


Is there not a woman survivor in the game? If there is, do people not play the game/think the game is laughable because of that?



You create the character. Gender has always been an option for the player, even as far back as the first Fallout game. That's why they've always had monikers instead of names:

Fallout - Vault Dweller
Fallout 2 - Chosen One
Fallout 3 - Lone Wanderer
Fallout: New Vegas - Courier
Fallout 4 - Sole Survivor (though technically you are also "Nate" or "Nora" depending, unless you rename the character at creation)

The premise of a "canon" gender is typically limited to a couple of snippets of dialog in future games where the character is referenced by a pronoun (him or her, depending) but nothing more static than just a couple of people talking about them in absentia.

So bitching about it being a woman is kind of stupid then. I'm not saying a strong woman being the focal point of a post apocalyptic show is better than a man, but to get mad over it following something that is actually source is pretty stupid. Someone needs to make fun of the game for that if that's what they want to cry about.
