Guaranteed the word “woke” will be thrown around left and right

    Which to that I’d say women have been able to “get behind male protagonists” for decades now.

    I think choice is fun, for some games, but some games like the Witcher tell a specific narrative, and it makes sense that they are tailored for a specific character, and I think we all know the sort of abuse that Ciri is going to see in the world of the Witcher.

    I think of any gender has trouble “identifying” with a character of another gender that’s 100% a them issue, they need to figure out why they have such a problem with it, because that says more about them then it does game makers. (I know not you, the original person).

    Seriously all it says to me is that you’re insecure with yourself if you can’t even play a fictional fantasy game as a woman.

      Definitely. It is probably in part cultural indoctrination teaching that women are weak & such. And they don’t want to feel weak. Many of my favorite games have women protagonists.

      Looking forward to W4.
