The fact that such comments still get any traction is sad. Like come on guys, what an ass, with nothing to add! How is this in my all feed?
"I can only see women as objects, not as people, so I cant handle playing as one without risking trying to sexualize myself like I sexualize women. "
What do you people expect from Twitter?
I know, the post with whopping 11 likes is extremely important and this whole thread is absolutely not just a rage bait.
I don't mind playing a male but always prefer female. Started with Unreal 99 and smaller female hitboxes then continued in mass effect (if I can choose to watch a spandex gluteus Maximus for 30 Hours, I chose female).... and now it's a habit of playing female and chaotic neutral for first playthroughs.
We need more female only games, purely so the chuds will start agreeing with us that every game needs gender select.
If I play RPGs and have the choice of a character, I always pick male and customise him to look like me. Despite never seeing my character when I play in first person mode. It just seens natural to me.
But when I don't get the choice (mainly narrative driven games like adventures), I simply roll with it. It's a game after all, not a second life.
I think Im missing the issue here. Wasn't the same argument used for adding female characters to games and transgender characters later on?
Kinda thought that's the goal, for everyone to be represented if possible. That said, I'm looking forward to game being focused on Ciri
I think that makes sense for games in which you create your own character. Sometimes a game tells a story with a specific protagonist though and they aren't meant to be "you".
Yes, you want representation and the ability for people to play as someone like them. But we also can just tell stories about a character without needing to make the story for every character.
Adding women, anyone not white, or different gender and sexual orientations was notable because they were very underrepresented.
Women were by and large not saying they couldn't play games as men, just that they'd like more chances to be women.
They for sure didnt complain when you only could play a man in the first 3 games.
Ah fuck, he is right. Time to stop development on Witcher 4 while we go back and add a female main character option in the previous games.
And it's not the competent, powerful and attractive part that breaks your immersion?
Or he is just pissed that he won't be having women in game to romance.
omg they made lemmy political
