I don't think it's great, but I think it's cool. I think I'd love to see us bring in diversity, but I want diversity to make sense. If it makes sense to have a woman as lead, do it. If it makes sense to have a gay character, do it.

The inclusion of Jackie Robinson was to fight against a complete lack of Black players. There are already women in video games, so that comparison doesn't hold water.
No, I'm encouraging you to be one of those creators for us consumers. I can't do it. I don't have the skill set. You said you do. So, please, do it.
The problem is that this is not an injustice. An injustice is something that is fundamentally unfair and undeserved. Nobody in the Holocaust deserved to be killed because they existed. They had the fundamental right to life.
So then there IS a ranking of injustice?
So you're not content with just having a female protagonist, you want more? I know it's using the slippery slope, but this feels like you aren't going to stop at more. You're going to demand more after that, too.
I'm not. You did. You said there are no small injustices. Accordingly, all injustices MUST be something other than "small." There can be no ranking of injustice. By logic, all injustice must be equal by the statement that there are no small injustices.
The ESA does not separate types of gaming so women, who are typically into more casual games, are lumped in with men, who tend to buy games like Assassin's Creed.
And he worked on this game? No? Then his opinion is completely worthless.
Yeah, everyone knows that a video game not having a female character is totally equal to having acid thrown on you for not wearing your appropriate head covering. Both are big injustices!
Oh no, not a dirty word. Someone, hide the children for fuck's sake!
When will you advocate representing non-white women? How about non-heterosexual characters? Or non-cis? Why do I never see Kotaku talking about how a character isn't gay? Could it be because Kotaku can't be bothered to advocate for actual minorities anymore?
You did. She is a female protagonist. Her game didn't sell well, but she still exists. To wave her off because you think her game isn't important is actually a bigger problem than not having her exist at all.
Yeah, isn't it our right to call someone else a hate-filled hypocrite who simplifies others to suit one's own bigoted script? Fucking bigots! Good thing we're different, right? We'd never reduce a group of people to a single label to fit our own opinions!
Why is white guy bad that they have to move past it?
Write another one. And another one. Make wonderful games with female protags that we all can play. Please. I'm actually begging you with honest desire. I want it.
So she doesn't count as a character because you decided it was low-cost? Wow, way to completely dismiss a female protagonist.
Well, the game does represent 100% French white people. No Italians. I guess this is just another sign of the anti-Italian gaming cartel that oppresses Italians.
Gay people exist in the world. How many gay characters are headlining video games?
They had a female POV.
