Zelda Game of Thrones in a nutshell: You play as Link and get to the final battle. Gannon unceremoniously kills you and your horse, cuts off your horse's head, and sews it to your headless body to parade around Hyrule. Zelda is made to watch as this all happens.

everyone knows female characters don't have spines so they can show off their boobs and butt at the same time.

They put it up so they can be as racist and sexist as they like and when someone calls them on it, they can point to it.

YOu see, I don't see any pushing. I see people complaining. The only pushing I've witnessed is coming from defenders of Ubisoft. THAT is what worries me.

Why do the French speak in British accents?

And a "non-arno" character couldn't be female for what reason?

Yes I damn care, which is why Im not going to buy or play this.

So this so much taunted "next gen" with its amazing and powerful technologies and upgrades ends up being the same thing as last gen. "We can use cloud computing" but they can't have more variety in their character choices, really?

You *do* know that Europe wasn't exclusively white...right?

Which is a bit like saying we had GTA Chinatown on DS... it's a portable, low-level spin-off that didn't get half the marketing push the big franchise got.

... Or they could've made Arno a woman. Nothing was stopping that from happening.

*raises hand* I care.

Sure there's some games where it makes sense. But in a game like, I don't know, Battlefield, where…

Uh...yeah, people do care. The "people whining" are the people playing the games. Welcome to the modern world friendo. The people whining are the players of the games who themselves are varied both along gender lines and racial lines. Is it a crime to want to be represented? The only excuse for something like this…

Honestly, I don't have much of a horse in this fight.

"Assassin's Creed is developed by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs"

Yeah, we know, Ubisoft. Or did you forget you put that message in the splash screens for every single Assassin's Creed game as if that really matters to anyone?

So they just ignored the issue entirely. Some statement.

Right now, the way people are picking apart features makes me feel weird and slightly uncomfortable. It shows that people have a hard time dealing with male characters with feminine traits, and it's really telling of how strictly we classify things in accordance to gender norms. That's a shame. Who says ponytails and…
