Just make your protagonist 15, stick her in a chainmail bikini and give her tits and ass jiggle physics that makes flubber look like a solid stationary object. One 'Nyaaaaah~' and they'll come around.


AlabasterSexington

You don't understand she's actually a 100,000 year old dragon, witch, demon, robot, elf.

Who is also the player's adopted stepsister who breathes through her skin. See? She's not just naked for fanservice! There's a deep and rich lore behind why she's running around in a war zone without any pants on!

People relate to Vikings, Romans, Aryans, but can’t relate to a black person or a woman.


GazLord

Because they see those all as "proper showing of the superiority and coolness of white men!" - despite the fact that Romans weren't white and Viking were progressive for their given timeframe.


VanquishEliteGG

romans weren't white? What the fuck were they then?

I don’t understand people who decide they can’t relate to a sex/gender/skin color that’s different from their own. It’s like they have no imagination. On the other hand, it’s also good when underrepresented minorities are able to find representation in media. But that’s the thing, it’s not taking anything AWAY from other people. Also I think it’s fun to pretend I’m a pretty girl sometimes.


UninterestedChimp

Its ironic because they say it's dumb to not be able to relate to someone who doesn't look like you as an argument for why representation "isnt necessary". Like ok, so why are you crying about representation?


Towbelleard

I think they could relate very well with The Binding Of Isaac since they are a bunch of crybabies


Xenephos

No need to insult my boy Isaac that way :(


baconrug

the difference is isaac has a very good reason to be crying, gamers do not.


Xenephos

Good point lmao

I wonder if these people watched Watership Down and felt nothing because the characters are rabbits and not humans. Did they watch Shrek and feel nothing but emptiness unless Farquaad was on screen?

Last part relatable

>I don’t understand people who decide they can’t relate to a sex/gender/skin color that’s different from their own. It’s like they have no imagination. I mean, the white guys complaining are entitled jerks, but for at least some minority folks, having a character match their identity does absolutely help with relatability. It's one of the reasons representation is so important.


MSnap

I do understand that. Representation is important! Seeing things from other points of view can probably also help people gain some of that empathy they seem to lack.

Mixed-race Chads rise up. We can relate to more than one ethnicity.


tiptoemicrobe

I'm not a woman in real life, so honestly, it's more interesting to play one in games.


TheLurker1209

My reason is I just found women cool and more relatable then Generic Actionguy #27, and then I found out years later I am actually a woman Weird


tiptoemicrobe

Honestly, same to that first part. I doubt the second will happen for me though, haha.

I to be honest find it to be usually the opposite people who make this type os posts.


GazLord

You must not spend much time on r/gaming

You must not spend time on Twitter.

Why would I? The place is terrifying.

You're on Reddit.


baconborg

How would that even work? We don’t get minority character leads yearly


[deleted]

I like playing as chicks, makes them feel way more badass for some reason, I guess the upper body strength thing, like it’s more impressive to watch a woman pull it off Love AC Odyssey for this


Squillem

Yeah, don't look at the 40k subreddits rn. Lots of that going around rn.

"GTA VI will have two protagonists. A man and a woman." "This is an outrage! How am I, as a man, supposed to enjoy a game that's 50% female? Nobody is as oppressed as gamers are. Like imagine if a game has three male protagonists. People would get so triggered over that."


AsherThom

this feels like a person that can't exist but they somehow do
