@Dillonverse I don’t hate female protagonists, I hate how often modern franchises replace male leads with female ones. It’s gotten really old.

Incels in the replies 😭
Dillon@Dillonverse
Imagine not playing this because you hate female protagonists 💀

@Foxytocinn A large portion of the Candy Crush and Animal Crossing sectors of the gamer demographic

@TW0HEADEDBEAST Tlo2 also massively underperformed the first game
English
holy shit you're dumb lmao
ff7 is one of the most successful ff games ever and why ff7r was the "break glass in case of emergency" games
automata revived the nier series and has a ton of merch/crossovers
stellar blade sold an estimated 6.1 million in 2 years, which is BIG for a new ip mostly locked on the ps5 ecosystem
also most these games are far lower budgeted than tlou2 and hzd, which got high ass fidelity and and in tlou2's case
SUBSTANTIAL budget increases from famously high amounts of crunch
tlou2 sold a shitton but any potential profits are eaten into by crunch and marketing costs

Many have been complaining about “uglified female characters”, and the argument is that “people like beautiful things and men are the main gaming audience”🚀 Okay so where is that main audience from supporting these games? Yeah, they did manage to sell and some get to fund a sequel, but their sales are nowhere near The Last of Us, Horizon Forbidden West and the likes. I’m not saying I don’t want more games like these. I can enjoy games and characters of different kinds as long as they’re well-made and appealing to me. But my point is why is the talk about beauty only used online for outrage culture, yet when it comes to actual sales, far fewer people show up? Judging by the level of outrage over God of Way Laufey and Intergalactic or Horizon, you’d imagine a game like Stellar Blade would cross the 10m mark in a year or so. But that wasn’t the case. So do you actually want attractive characters or is it just small internet minority that wants outrage revenue?🤔

@kabrutusdeid Chuds are the indigenous people of the gaming community, woke colonization must be pushed back against or we will continue to lose our identity
Replacing Kratos with a WOMAN is like building a datacenter on a sacred burial ground

> create a franchise centered around a male protagonist
> watch the franchise become a huge success, with the protagonist becoming its most iconic character and building a massive fanbase around the world
> decide to ride the success of that established franchise by creating a new female character to replace the male lead and push a feminist agenda
> completely alienate the original fanbase, tell them the game isn't for them, and then blame them when the new game fails
when will they ever learn?

@sleepy_devo Liberalism wasn’t always rotten to the core, but it has become so.
English
@sleepy_devo The denial and evasion we see in this post is why modern liberalism is the enemy and needs to be purged.
English
everything is woke
everything is social justice
everything is communist
and you have to point it all out

@SWT_Channel Two of my all time favorites in the right column there.

Gamers love heroines that are:
1. Strong
2. Beautiful
3. Devoted
4. Sexy
5. Assertive
6. Interesting

@GameReviewGuy I’m fine with women in games, it’s feminism I hate. Japanese made games tend to not be heavy on the feminism.
English
To the people bitching about playing as a female, do you have any issues with Claire from Resident Evil 2?
It seems like it's only CERTAIN females.
How about Silksong?
How about #SilentHill 3?
How about Nier?
Are you going to play #GTA6? Guess what!? Female lead. Oh no!
English
@TheRPGDummy People don’t hate women in games, people hate feminism in games. Games developed in Japan tend to have a lot less feminism, so gamers are ok with Japanese games with women.
English
Yall get to play as a hot, tall, badass woman and yall complaining
Are yall secretly just closeted? Serious question. Cuz please tell me how this is an issue in any other way
8-Bit Eric@8biteric
No one is mad because you play as a woman. People are clowning God of War: Laufey because it looks bad. The design looks weak. The gameplay looks bland. The whole thing feels uninspired. And instead of accepting that criticism, people are pretending "chud" gamers only hate it because of the female lead. That’s the real cope. “If you don’t like it, don’t buy it” is what people say when they can’t defend the game. Gamers aren’t rage-baited. The defenders are.

@sleepy_devo American Nazism needing to vote Democrat tracks as the Nazis were socialists.

@CathyYoung63 If you polled a normal 1995 person on the immigration rates from 1996-2026, no would win in a landslide.
English
Yeah, a "normal person from 1995" totally argued that 1/3 of the US population should be deported and foreign-born Americans shouldn't be able to hold public office

@sleepy_devo All you have to do is call a liberal racist or islamophobic and they fold on this issue instantly
English
when islamic values and secular liberal values come into conflict, the Islamic values must lose in liberal countries. to do the opposite out of some sense of "diversity" or "inclusion" is anti-liberal.

@sleepy_devo And yet the liberals still give in to islamism, time after time. How’s Europe been balancing liberalism and Islam these days?
