Female protagonist? What do you think?

Female protagonists, as long as they're well portrayed, with actual human similarities and their own intricacies are just as good as a well developed male protagonist. 

Some of my favourite protagonists, not only in games, but in films, are female protagonists, who exude an aura of self-esteem and ability to resolve problems, while still keeping human faucets that are intrinsic to natural human behavior. 

Aya Brea, Selen and Milennia are probably the best videogame protagonists (both female and male) ever created.

OT - I said it on another thread and I'll say it again. People nowadays have no grasp about what the actual meaning behind the word sexist really portrays. Which is an actual shame indeed, seeing how easy such a strong word is thrown around in here, with no actual direct reason as to use it. And it's also extremely funny how somehow, sexist seems to limit itself to a single gender bias against another. It works both ways.

Where are Selen and Milennia from?

And I think you are probably right; I have embarrassed myself in how embroiled I've allowed myself to become, and probably should bow out.

Selen's from Lufia II. She was originally a warrior (the strongest in her land), but eventually fell in love with the main protagonist. Even though all that, she continued to be the proud, strong warrior that she was, until the end. 

Milennia's from Grandia II. She's the personification of the evil deity from the game, Vagras, but she also has an extremely human side to her, which is triggered by very minute things like a kid crying and so on. 

Both of them are very well constructed, and are female models that I would have no problem showing in the future, if I ever have a daughter. 

Also, you misunderstood me, I wasn't referring to you in my last phrase. Granted, it was your exchanges that triggered my interest in this thread, but in the topic of knowledge of the word sexist was actually for the people in this thread who has shown a severe lack of it. Your comment a few replies prior pretty much shed a light in that you're very acquainted with the term

Alas, to be fair, I haven't seen, in this thread, such a vile use of the word sexism as a certain member of this forum likes to apply to it. It has caused quite a few bans for him in the past, and I fear it will continue, but I'll leave it at that.
