If you want to look at it that way, we haven't had a new and original intellectual property since ~4000 B.C.E., probably even earlier.

>>320579762
This is the sad truth of this thread. You can't write a good male character because women will get insecure, and you can't write a good female character because women will get offended. So you just make a blank slate and hide behind it.

Nice literally anecdotal story, based on zero fact.
Woman punches you in the face? You can do it back.
Woman lightly slaps your arm? What the fuck dude? Do it back if you really care, no one will fuck you up.

That shit didn't happen to you. You probably don't even talk to women.

Do you interact with women at all? They can plop their asses down and cry about ANYTHING at all, even if they are the ones at fault, and still get away without consequences. It does not even have to include punching or anything,
They literally can say they already feel bad about the whole situation and you should make it up to them if you so much as yell at them.

OP does have a bit of a point, in that it's really noticeable that female protagonists are the trend lately.

I'm not saying it's bad but it is interesting to note. Are they actively trying to get more women playing games to widen their audience? Or are they just making use of tactical PR?

Also just throwing it out there, but I dislike games with character creators or "pick a gender" options. It waters down the character you play as.
>>
>>320581689
> I'm not saying it's bad

But It is bad, because it's being done exclusively to appeal to a tiny sliver the industry.

All these dudes literally funding the gaming industry, and they need to play as a girl or faceless drone... all for people who barely matter to the industry in any practical sense.
>>
Gender matters and I don't want to play as a woman or a create-a-character.

I want to play as a well-written, believable man. Because I am a man, like nearly all gamers.

I never argued that, there are plenty of good stories and bad stories in all mediums. I do believe however that there are overall less good stories in games because the story is secondary to gameplay and you can still have a great game with a nonexistent story. In film its almost impossible to makeup for a bad story though because theres not much other reason to watch, and its impossible to find another reason to read a book beyond story.

I think it's like the 1970s, where there were a disproportionate number of white women and black men in pop culture, especially film, due to the feminism movement of the day.

Once the feminism wave ended in the mid-1980s, Guns 'N Roses replaced Age of Aquarius and all was well.

The answer is to kill off feminism ASAP and we can have good games again.

There is a misconception that representation in fiction changes the real world.

If that were true, wouldn't it have worked decades ago?

I've very rarely seen an unsympathetic black person in a work of fiction, but they're still oppressed apparently? On the other hand, white male villains never went out of style, so perhaps it's true.
