Hey i know, how about stop fucking telling artist what their fucking vision needs to be. You do NOT need to equally represent genders in video games. If the writer sees their character as a male or female, so be it. Stop trying to force a quota. Theres some moron in the comments claiming that purposefully excluded a

I will then refer you to @Rumina's comment as it sums up the problem nicely.

Oh look , another "Dear diary" article by Patricia that will in no way result in a hate-filled comment section.

I'll just go ahead and wait for you to write an article that promotes female developers so that the community can give them support and maybe more games with gender equality can actually be made, you know,

I don't understand....do there need to be more female leads in movies also do there need to be more female protagonist in books? We talk about this equal representation this as if it were a political or workplace environment....it's entertainment pure and simple and the lack of females protagonists should be

There's not going to be a large breadth of female characters any time soon.

Tell me what is preventing a group of women game devs to get together and create games with women protagonists? People keep using the argument that women don't like the gaming industry because of vitrol or whatever. What about indies? Name any game studio composed of majority of women out of the hundreds of indie

Ahahahahaha could you imagine if Spielberg had people tweeting about how sexist and non-progressive he was because Indiana Jones wasn't both a male and a female character in his Raiders of The Lost Ark movie?

Que the social justice warriors. I'll continue to enjoy my games, you can just keep on bitching about stupid shit like this.

Do you guys know what you can actually do?

*Playing World's Tiniest Violin* What is being diverse just for the sake of being diverse?

Yeah...

Games aren't required to "represent" anyone, try again.

Fake? Are you serious, there was a hashtag and everything! This shit made it on Twitter for crying out loud!

49% my ASShole. I don't know one girl that plays console video games. But I could name probably 100 guy friends off the top of my head who do at least casually. Unless you're talking...candy crush saga? Sick of the need to represent people.

Yeah! And 66% of Americans are overweight, and while I don't know how that translates to gamers I'll go out on a limb and say it's a similar %, so where's my morbidly obese assassin?

Yeah actually, it is. Kotaku's manufacturing this controversy.

You don't have a squad of 4 playable characters. You people just keep on screaming and whining, but don't actually know what it is about.

Sorry, but as an animator, women move differently. You'd want them to when working on a game like this too. It wouldn't be two days work. It probably wouldn't need all 8000 animations (lol @ that number btw) but there'd be a considerable amount of work. Then you have to do the entire game's main character audio

careful, they'll label you sexist if you don't agree with them.
