Frankly I just really wish every single game franchise at E3 would reveal the next game had a female lead or it was rebooted with a female lead or it suddenly includes a diverse cast, like not a single grizzled gunbro in sight. So that all these angry emotionally unstable petulant little shits who whine about stuff like this would all collectively decide to boycott every single game that ever existed, thus gaming can fumigate its beligerant asshole population in one fell swoop and in the aftermath everyone else can just go back to playing and innovating and new kinds of stories can get made.
Sure we lose half but the half that survives knows nothing but full game libraries, diverse casts and clear online forums with nary an alt right meme in sight.
Perfectly balanced... as all things should be
Yeah but since we are allowed to strawman now, let's all just create the strawman reaction to announcements like this.Smithnikov said:Indeed, when the strawmanned statement is still less insulting than the actual statements of people who are upset at seeing a female in the game.StatusNil said:"If you don't hate women, show it by buying lots of cosmetics to customize the ultimate Historically Accurate Riot Grrl irregular! Or GTFO, troll!"
So enlightened!
It's relatively easy, all you need is a hell of a lot of 'cuck' and 'soy' and 'get back in the kitchen' and 'women should be our sex slaves' and 'something something black men having sex with white women' and 'I'm an alpha male because I say so! I'm secure, really!!' and the rest writes itself.
Except that's not a strawman, that's literally how they talk.
And seriously if anyone thinks people don't act like that I invite them to go to literally any youtube comment section of the trailer for Gears of War 5.

Heck, when I think 'Slayer' I think Buffy so if anything 'Slayer' is a feminine term. At least to me.undeadsuitor said:Why not?B-Cell said:?

Also why is girl the feminine version of slayer it's a gender neutral term
Not sure why, but that sentence there really made me laugh, maybe it's the implied inverse what made it funny, implying that the gender of a game character makes someone uncomfortable, in any case, thanks for the laugh😊 Have a good one.B-Cell said:some of us prefer to play as male characters doesnot mean we hate female characters or we are sexist. but its just our preference. i feel comfortable playing as male characters because im a man and want to be a man in gaming universe.

Yes and as a male I take offense to your implication that I would run away screaming at the prospect of playing as a woman. Most of us are emotionally mature enough not to let that crap bother us, is my point.majority of gamers/audience are males.
You missed the part where in my hypothetical scenario this was being done deliberately to make the angry GG chodes run away. Like I want to piss those guys off, I have enough faith in the fact that everyone else will be mature enough to not be bothered by it.second they can create a new IP by putting female protagonist. so why forcing female protagonist into those franchise that are male oriented?
Why wouldn't it work though?whats next? Hitwoman instead of Hitman? or playing as Doom girl instead of DOOM slayer?
come on that wont work.
Yeah and some people prefer playing as female characters and yet you see people REEEEing their little hearts out whenever women are added as playable characters in games like battlefield.some of us prefer to play as male characters doesnot mean we hate female characters or we are sexist.

Well luckily I imagine the worst ones probably can't have no hope of getting laid without the use of grave robbing so there's that.Agreed on the comment stuff though. If life were fair then those types, and well, all idiots incapable of decency, would be infertile.
Because knowing the lore of those games. it wont work. or it will feel awkward. i mean Hitman is agent 47. not some james bond style spy but a cold blooded emotionless killer who disguise. it work perfectly fine with male character.Elijin said:B-Cell said:whats next?

Balance those comments out. Explain how Hitwoman or DOOM Girl wont work, while also remaining 'not sexist'.

Doom is about badass Doom guy alone shooting demon. so playing as man would feel much better. if Doom guy was girl than it would not just work at all.

Speak for yourself, a playable woman in a hitman game would be neat, it opens up a ton of new possibilities. No one ever suspects the quiet woman of being a murder machine, after all.whats next? Hitwoman instead of Hitman? or playing as Doom girl instead of DOOM slayer?
come on that wont work.

TL;DR
It's a fantasized version of WWII. It's just a game. If you don't like it, don't but it

For Hitman, okay, sure, you'd be able to make a spinoff at best, and you might as well make a new IP for that, but it's not as if you couldn't take the mechanics of Hitman and graft them onto said "Hitwoman" game. As for Doom, at least in its current form, Doom is probably better suited for a male character because right now it's an embodiment of hyper-masculinity. However, the inherent concept of a super soldier tearing demons apart isn't tied to gender. You could easily take something like Doom 3, make the protagonist female, and all you'd have to change is a few pronouns in the script.B-Cell said:whats next?

So...don't choose a female avatar in Battlefield then?some of us prefer to play as male characters doesnot mean we hate female characters or we are sexist. but its just our preference. i feel comfortable playing as male characters because im a man and want to be a man in gaming universe.
