But what I mean is if we strive for equality than one female character can't represent the whole of the spectrum.  Its a broad brush, and preventing progress.
  In many games, equality would mean that both men and women are equally represented in death and mental sickness.  They'd have to be villains, and they'd have to be casualties, and they'd even have to be shoehorned or plot devices.

It would be a lot simpler if Werty were to say that himself.

Yeah but then it becomes your words and not just the words of some random bob on utub

If the feminists were so scary that fear of their backlash has caused so many people across so many different types of media to avoid writing good female characters, we wouldn't be getting characters like these either.

The female barbarians head looks tiny compared to the rest of her body. Just observing that the poportion seems wierd. She's also leaning back a bit, which adds to the skewing.

As I understand it, the more people favourite and retweet your content, the more right it is. Just like upvoting in reddit! If somebody disagrees with you, you can just point out how many random internet people thought it was good.

It's what I think about the issue. If I wrote that out people would accuse me of stealing my words,so the source.

So all in agreement with this sentiment here?

This whole debate will probably be irrelevant in a few years when VR becomes the norm. Entirely scripted choose-your-own-adventure style  story protagonists is a design style that's unlikely to survive very well into the next decade. I doubt we'll be choosing between character option A or B then watching scripted cutscenes in third person in VR.

That also bodes well for all the people unhappy about gender and body issues in general. How many people here have played other-gender characters in games? Other species, even? I have. I suspect most of us have. So what does it do for society when large numbers of people have experience with fully immersive first person experiences as a variety of body, gender and species types?

Potentially a lot of the problems people are complaining about go away.

VR works surprisely well in third person.

Mark my words, people will still be buying Call of Duty in 2024. It will not have improved measurably.
