I might not have either.

..but that's not their point. The point is that we discourage little girls from playing video games because there is no option for female leads. We are creating gender bias in their eyes.

Exactly.

This shtt is butts and destructive to our culture. Creators shouldn't have to worry about pressure and backlash over things they want to build. It is thier project and thier vision.

This shite has been going on for years and developers don't seem to care so I'm not worried about it.

They have a voice over the internet and make little steps towards their reckless cause. Which really has no end goal. That is why I care.

Feminist and PC Police and SJWs have turned this nation into a joke. We forget about real policy making in the light of social issues which don't affect much.

I mean Tomb Raider, Samus? Aren't those two of the biggest gaming franchises in the history of video games?

I mean, people bitch and moan about this, but it all comes down to the fact that they'll never stop. It's just like with that Jennifer Lawerence billboard for X-Men: Apocalypse. Everyone bitched and moaned that the series needed a female lead so they gave her one. He's strangling her in the billboard and then all the feminists came out and complained that it was promoting violence against women.

If we make a game like with a female lead and the chick gets her arse kicked in any part of it people will just bitch about violence against women some more

It's a lose, lose.

The female protag in the MEA trailer "was a huge win", for them....so I hear.

They even made her an illegal immigrant too....Doubled up.

Is this Mass Effect Andromeda?

This can be a bit different. I can believe that maybe when we have interstellar travel and other life that woman can be way more badass.

However, if this is even Mass Effect of course, how can someone be an illegal immigrant when like everyone lives in space?

Literally over half the games shown you can play as a female. They're literally bitching over the gaming industry not shoe-horning males into playing female-lead-only titles. fricking ridiculous.

I mean the GOTY in 2014, I believe, Dragon Age Inquisition let you be a chick.

Even in the Witcher there was Ciri who was the GOAT in the greatest RPG of the decade.

What else do they want? My dick. Fine I'll give it to them.

Geralt of Rivia is my favorite fictional character in both show and game. Saying that Ciri is as bad a bitch for female lead as you can get.

1. She is special by blood
2. She is fearless by nature
3. She works at becoming who she is
4. She didn't exactly need a man's help but it was welcomed.
5. ..and she fine
