What the developer said at E3 he said that gamers will want to 'protect and help' Lara. Is it impossible for guys to relate to a female protagonist directly or something?TheReviewGrid said:Your basing this off of what? Hasn't protecting the main character of a video game, also know as keeping them alive, sort of been the point of games at least since Mario. Also main protagonists get beaten up all of the frelling time. It's called overcoming and is a sign of strength rather than weakness.Moonlight Butterfly said:It's sexist because they think that a male audience can't relate to a strong female character and they have to make 'protecting' her the main focus.
He's about the only one I can think of that goes through it 'on screen' and even then he bounces back and is back to kicking asses.TheReviewGrid said:How about Adam Jensen. In the beginning he gets his ass kicked and then augmented, a process which he was expressing moral reserve before getting his ass kicked.
Other protagonists more often or not have their wives killed or their girlfriend kidnapped to try and provide them with motivation. Which is also a terrible couple of tropes. (Hell even Jensen think his wife is killed or kidnapped for the majority of the game)

I'm pretty sure a lot of people even go so far as to hate me on this site for having an opinion, if they even care that I exist at all :/
