When Ghost of Tsushima came out, the massive amount of kvetching about "muh wahmens ruined the game n sheit" was incredible, especially considering there's a grand total of 4 women in the game who have any more substance than being someone's wife or sister:
1 Masako Adachi, wife of a landed noble and auntie figure to the main character. Her questline is based entirely around her taking up a bow and tracking down the killer of her toddler grandchildren. In the main questline, her role is to help the main character amass a force for revenge on the man who killed her husband and sons using underhanded tactics. Her entire character is essentially being a very pissed off grandma.
2* Yuna, a young peasant thief whose only family is her little brother, who she agrees to having coddled (at least after Jin tells her she does, anyway). Her appearances revolve primarily around protecting him, and guiding/supporting her love interest, the main character, primarily by attempting to amass popular support for his campaign. The only time she shows weakness is a PTSD attack from returning to a child trafficking plant, although she proceeds to disembowel her little brother's kidnapper in a later quest (which you'd think would be "totally owning those heccin' evil homorinos" in his case? Unless they're offended by the suggestion that pedophiles target both?)
3* Tomoe, a peasant hunter adopted by an unlanded noble who could never find a woman to marry him. Very crafty, is allowed to live when captured by the invading force, as she knows local archery styles very thoroughly and agrees to teach them in exchange for her life.
4 Yuriko, the servant of the main character's father's estate. Elderly, effectively his surrogate mother. Her appearances are mostly optional, and she just serves to tell Jin some stories about his parents before passing away. Her only mandatory appearance is her teaching him which plants to use for poison.
Tomoe and Yuna induced a TON of seething for some reason, and I've yet to find anyone who will even attempt to explain why they get so pissy about them. They're both reasonably attractive, and Tomoe is quite demure. I'd assume that it would be related to Yuna having PTSD at all, or maybe to her being the older and more mature sibling? But I can't imagine any reason at all for the seething at Tomoe.
Human/sex trafficking is central to quite a few of the quests, one in particular allows the player to execute the traffickers in the public square. I could go on more about that particular quest, since I think there was interesting subtext that could be taken either as an analogy for a society being overly passive and allowing their children to be overrun and exploited (the takeaway most of my male friends had), or potentially noticing a certain male tendency we've seen in this very thread.
