It's funny how they keep posting this image. They're trying to make it look like this is what pretty much ALL video game protagonists look like, but it's a poor argument for a few reasons:

First of all, it's OBVIOUSLY cherry-picked. If you can't think of just as many or MORE female characters than the amount you see here, you haven't been playing games for long. This would probably even be possible with actual BLACK characters, because they've been so common for such a long time now. Whoever made this image was deliberately steering around HUNDREDS of characters to make their point and entirely avoided any games with a cartoonish or anime-oriented style--which together probably make up over 50% of games.

It's also stupid because they actually treat these characters like they all look the same. They're really different looking with only a few paltry exceptions. Looking at that image and telling yourself there is no diversity or difference is like looking at two dozen black men or Asians and saying, "You all look the same".

But for Resetera, this image represents the gaming landscape, and they keep using it over and over again, like they've only played PS3 releases from the past ten years from seven different studios. You'd think they'd take a realistic view of the variety the game industry provides and just be happy for a while. But they don't want to be happy. They want to be angry so that they can complain and get MORE. And so they can validate their victim complex.

The funny thing is how much this image has aged, most of these characters are either dead, irrelevant, or had their franchises end years ago

This image is very dishonest, some of these games literally let you choose the gender of your character. You can chose to play as a woman, but they're shitting on them strictly because you can also play as a man. Fucking lol

Some of these stories are ones where you REALLY don't want a female protagonist because of the fucked up abuse the protagonist goes through in the story. Certain stories also wouldn't work at all if they have to make changes and Mary Sue it up so that no one gets offended.

A lot of people (like reeeeeset users) don't want to see a woman be verbally abused, beaten, kidnapped, etc. But it's a lot less controversial if these things happen to a man as the main character. If you can't tell the same story using a woman MC, they're just not going to produce the game. And reee users want to play games that are more like interactive soft and sweet stories, with women, anyway. (Like "Life Is Strange" or TLOU2)

See: the absolute torture-porn the Lara Croft prequels turned into.

You can easily make a better case for homogeneous “Strong POC women” in modern media.

Oh, absolutely. I'm convinced they have a "strong female character" generator somewhere they keep using. They always end up a black partially-shaved-headed lesbian, or a pale girl with straight black hair and a colored streak in it. And they almost always have the same ass-kicking personality with no personal flaws to overcome.

Wow, and that was just one E3. They'll ignore this to preserve their victimhood.

I think one of the first of these RetardEra-type nontroversies I've seen is complaining that Lara Croft in Tomb Raider can get killed.

Top row, 2nd from the right. I'm pretty sure that's from Wizards of the Coast and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a depiction of a viking. I'm not really sure what gender they are because all the features are feminine but they have a very tiny beard on the end of their chin.

I play magic a lot. It's a new non-binary planeswalker. Basically an androgynous guy, the wet dream of RESETERA.

The New non-binary planeswalker from Magic the Gathering
it is ment to be from that universes version of Greece. which according to wizards like every other place is full of black people
it uses they them pronouns, also has titties.

They also did a cringy event called black is magic. Cause they just love those Negros, who must make up the majority of their player base, right?

Why do SJWs always get upset when they don't see tons of black or non binary people in Europe in entertainment that takes place in the 1200s. Like do they generally not know history.

They hate history and want to erase it so they can repeat it. It's just the genocide they want to commit is against white people this time.

I can't remember the name, but there was one game that people tried to cancel several years ago because it was about ancient Nordic Vikings (I think). Of course, it featured no black Vikings, therefore, racism.

One of my personal favorite revisionisms is when Battlefield 5 put a one armed, handicapped, pink haired lesbian with a cricket bat in the game... Set in WWII.

This is the ultimate ACAB/ANTIFA/BLM "Smash the fash" "healthy at every size" "nonbinary" self insert of all time.
This is how they, I assume, see themselves when they fantasize about defeating Hitler.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Played solely by blacks; no blacks in the entire game.
Magic: Played solely by whites; blacks forced into major roles for diversity.

Seeing the people who actually play these card games, for example at your local game store, shows you how little diversity is about getting market-share.

What is all this about you ask?



"Women" leaving era in droves, the brothers drive away another.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/r-wallstreetbets-adopting-gorillas-and-other-animals.393802/post-60757372

Another day another case of Resetera eating their own. finalflame is a woke game "developer", but Wallstreetbets donating money to gorilla charities is an... outrage, because the sub uses the word retard.

Meanwhile, the only donating Resetera does is to Isamu Fukui's pockets, an owner who isn't even around.



"Fam, look how woke we are...."

Now hold on till this nigga talks about dem hoes he was ridin when not LARPing on Resetera that he's a woke puritan.

The brothers/GAF Black Culture thread has always been funny for hypocrisy. They act like "gang members" in private chat/discord, pretend to be Carlton Banks motherfuckers on the forum to kiss the ass of the jannies.

By the way, is America as horrible as depicted by them?
