The most painful thing will be if the game turns out to be bad, and we have to painstakingly explain “Yes, it was bad, but it’s not somehow specifically because it features a bald female lead.”

I’ve seen so many terrible takes already. I made the mistake of looking at a Reddit thread on the announcement. They’re not even trying to be subtle. “Female characters are supposed to be pretty! Nobody wants to play as an ugly bald bitch who looks like a man!”. I’d consider myself a seasoned internet veteran and even still it’s shocking to me.

Same with the Witcher 4 lol

Because YouTube is a cesspool and anything featuring anyone other than white soldiers is “woke” and “DEI”
