No one sets out with the intent of writing a sucky protagonist; the suggestion that they should all be male unless they can be "done right" is simply a recipe for very few female protagonists. There's a billion games with piss-poor male protagonists already. I think the world can afford to make more attempts otherwise.Yea, I think Darthviper should be directing these comments at me
Gasper is actually a lot more forgiving than I am on the topic of female characters and how they're represented in entertainment.
When they're done right I can enjoy a female protagonist, but most of the time, they just suck.

One kinda sets out with intend of writting a sucky character when you already intend to preach with it a the expense of characterization.
And nobody is saying they should be male unless... They should be what the story requires, period.
what is it with the apologetic false dichotomies when it comes to "social justice"?
I think Im actually less tolerant of PC crap than you P. But we differ on what qualifies as PC sometimes.
For instance I think Tess is a fantastic example of a strong female character, and I believe your think shes a feminist trope right?
3Zero please!

I would argue that any instance of bucking a sexist or racial trend will be perceived - rightfully or not - as a "social agenda" up until the point where it becomes so commonplace as to no longer be considered as bucking the trend. And that, ultimately, is the only thing that can eliminate the social agenda with which you take issue.
No, I didn't bring up the topic, Pturtle did, but you did chime in without having a clue on what you're talking about, you're not even using the term SJW correctly.
And I'm not pretending the game needs my approval or anything, what are you talking about?
