If there is an option, I usually play as a female character for a change of pace. I find it a bit more interesting. Also, a lot of times the female character is the finesse/skill option, which fits with my play-style. I almost never go with brute force characters, male or female.
However, I have zero problems with most main characters being male. None at all. Most console gamers are male and it's a lot easier for some people to identify with their own sex. My mother reads a lot of suspense/mystery novels, for example, and she prefers a female protagonist, especially if they're closer to her age. Because of that, I find the "adolescent male fantasies" criticism absurd. Males and females of all ages like characters they can identify with, it's as simple as that. Bashing guys in particular for that is just low-grade, child-level psychology.
There is also the problem of forcing artists and writers to change a character's sex. It's wrong to do that with female characters but it's also wrong to do that with male characters. We shouldn't be saying, "there needs to be more female characters," we should be saying, "developers shouldn't be pressured one way or the other." |
Nice post. I really like your conclusion, and you're 100% right on that. Developpers should be directed by people who know what games are.
Is that Orsola (To Aru) on your avatar ?

Thank you.
Nuh uh, that's Yae the Land Goddess from Yozakura Quartet. Don't be fooled, she only dresses as a nun because she loves the outfit. She is also obsessed with stuffed bears.

I knew I heard about that anime. Same illustrator as durarara!!, digimon re and devil survivor.
