Can we not have anything for men related entertainment anymore?

And dont even get me started how a female criminal can even work in a game like GTA

Im fine with females being in typically male roles if they just wanted a female lead.

Doing it for cred is when it gets annoying. Sadly I feel like this line is becoming blurred.

Saints Row always had female protagonists for me :3. Im cool with GRA having one. If she is anything like Sadie from RDR2, Id prefer it. Sadie>>>Arthur

Nothing is worse then people watching you staring at a tv screen controlling a women you wish you had in your life

Hey I still abide by that. Its the fact that I feel like theres this stigma associated with that thought process now. That objectification should never be tolerated and women in bikini chainmail is a sign of oppression that is long overdue for elimination.

I mean, I just want to enjoy my female protagonist, dont shame me for it. Instead I feel like characters like Aloy and Ellie exist to say What, you got a PROBLEM with an atypical female protagonist?!

No, just be the fucking protagonist and stop using it to make a statement, damn. If youre cute then cool, otherwise just go about it and dont double down about being female (admittedly Aloy isnt very in your face about this particular aspect and she isnt terrible as a character, just bland, but Ellie could have easily been subtle and sensible but instead she feels like a pillar of Im not your AVERAGE girl, live with it!).

Lol. My friend seen my Saints Row character that was a punk like skinny chick in a dress and was like "I definitely wouldn't make that character" while judging me. It's the only game I go crazy with cause it's fun to keep changing the styles. So much whacky shit to puck from

This. Especially if the chick is insane and deprived like that Trevor dude or is a slick boss lady like Tommy Vercetti.

Honestly I never really feel like have a complete argument when this issue comes up but I figured this time Id just say what bothers me and if it doesnt make sense or has holes then so be it.

Classic Lara Croft is my sort of female protagonist (if they arent going to be cute). I dont really care that shes a woman because her characterization renders it moot. Shes just a good heroine with no pretense.

I edited my post to explain more, but cmon man those are 2 of the best characters in gaming in recent memory.

I grew up with all older sisters and my mom bought me a ken doll. I never touched it. This isn't the same thing. And if it was Im not insecure enough to care....even though I just felt I had to prove it wasn't that...fuck it

Rockstar is one of the few companies I could trust in having a female protagonist and writing her well. A Jackie Brown like character could be cool.

R* could 100% pull off a badass GTA female protagonist.

Catalina was a crazy woman but Id rather have a female Michael-esque character than a female Trevor.

I mean playing a female character in a video game = teenage boys fantasizing about girls

Thats the connotation since the early 90s Videogames

Definitely would. GTA fanbase is a sausage-fest with women casually playing it but not enough to keep it going themselves
