Its okay, you can say it. Modern identity politics and existing market familiarity.
I mean, it would have been maybe more interesting to me to play as my own character in the Witcher universe, but Ciri is not the worst choice in the world, even if she was an extremely predictable pick for protagonist.
EDIT: “Come to Lemmy, we are way more chill and less hostile than Reddit.” Lol, whoever told me this was obviously lying. It’s exactly the same here, just with more Tankies.
No, that is not what I mean. I usually pick to play as a woman in games anyway. But I won’t explain it now, since you have just assumed something incorrect and I know it will be more frustrating for people here to leave it this way.
It’s so easy to pick out the bigots when you say “women can do things too” and they lose their mind and start ranting about “modern identity politics”.
Yes, I am the bigot that usually picks to play as a woman in video games ever since they had the option. How very bigoted of me.
You don’t play female characters because you’re a supporter of strong heroic women and want to embody one. You do it because you want to look at a female character on your screen. This really isn’t the flex you think it is.
