You forgot Michelangelo. Seriously. Because Kanye's timeless brand of genius will be admired by humanity well into the 25th century and beyond.

That’s precisely the point: If you want better characters, then write a story with better characters in it. Develop the games you want to see developed. I mean, given the comments on Kotaku, you’d clearly have an audience. But any expectation on your end that current developers (artists) should deliver only characters…
You’re arguing for fair representation. In works of fiction. Arguing that artists should reduce, or alter—self-censor—any works that don’t conform to your standards. Would Little Women be a better book with more male protagonists? Who cares. People like it the way it is.
Whether or not you feel the character is creative enough is irrelevant. The character simply is. As with fiction in all of its other forms, you either take it or you leave it. Critiquing fiction is fair play; censoring it is totalitarian.
It is, however, childish to believe that a hazy-boundaried idea like fair representation extends to everything under the sun, and that this idea should furthermore be used to limit the creative license that humanity has been granting to works of fiction for thousands of years.
