    Yes, I am the bigot that usually picks to play as a woman in video games ever since they had the option. How very bigoted of me.

      You don’t play female characters because you’re a supporter of strong heroic women and want to embody one. You do it because you want to look at a female character on your screen. This really isn’t the flex you think it is.

        Metroid and Alien are two of my favorite franchises, both featuring strong heroic women as the central character, but go off.

        Thanks for telling me to just block you, proving that Lemmy is not the place of positivity that it was advertised to me as. Some of you Lemmy users are just as hateful as users somewhere like on t social, gotta love it.

          Lemmy is very left-leaning, and you complained about “modern identity politics” from having a female lead in a video game. You shouldn’t be surprised at all.
