Lae'zel and Shadowheart can be mean sometimes, and it's okay to embrace women in video games like them.

Well that’s not true at all. Men and women have different life experiences and that often is what drives a narrative.

So you can't have a good character or story unless it's centered around whether the character is a man or a woman? You're gonna lose your mind when you hear about aliens, robots and other non sexed characters.

Where on Earth did you get that from my comment?

….which often is attached to specific unique narrative concepts for those types of characters, since they too share a unique world view that is helpful or even necessary to set the background and future specific storyline.
