Do you have the statistic for it? Sales of the games with woman doesn't seem to point people are generaly offended by woman being in games.

More funny is people atributing lack of woman or gay people in games as excuses for those groups not buying games, but forgeting that until perhaps PS1 most games had irrecognizable objects or animals for chars and since the 70's male were already a majority of gaming.

I am not saying people are generally offended by women being in games, I'm saying people here in VGChartz  seem to be quite vocal about "forced women" in games, particularly in the past year.

And I completely agree with your second statement, I think gaming tends to attract more males than it does females and the race/gender ethnicity groups in videogames used to be a non-issue. Same can be said for the other side though. Five years ago women in a WW2 game would not have garnered any attention or positive/negative press, and now there's people here that are deeply offended.

If Metroid was released today and then Samus had been shown as a woman in the end you would see a shitstorm.

You say most. And even in VGC I haven't seem even close to majority being offended by woman in gaming, but sure there are a lot being against SJW or forced diversity, still wouldn't say it is most of people.

What we are seeing is actually 3 or 4 threads in the same days open to criticize people who don't like SJW in nowaday games.

I would guess 5 years ago a woman in a game wouldn't attract much attention because it was done by devs wanting to do it for reasons not related to progressive agenda, that is why there weren't backlash. And even less you would see devs criticizing their public for not liking.

Not sure we would see a backlash from Samus, but sure it is a possibility. But Samus is similar to one thing on the openly gay, most chars aren't openly straight so you can't complain of gays not being presented just because they aren't openly show as that. In RL most cases you won't see a gay or straight being openly about it in public to strangers.
