what an absolutely shitty reduction. Here's the deal: gamers never pitched a fit about Metroid (Other M notwithstanding), A Hat in Time, Tomb Raider (reboot notwithstanding). Here's an even bigger shocker for you: women are gamergaters too.

It's utterly amazing how you searched for examples of Gamers not losing their shit about female characters and came up with 3, 2 of which had to be qualified because Gamers absolutely lost their shit about them (over Lara Croft's tits being too small even)

and it's utterly amazing you think I "searched for" it when I just went purely off of memory. I'm not that widespread of a gamer so I'm not that familiar with games I haven't directly been exposed to. @DolusMiles @TheQuQu @ShamisOMally @danwolfgang_ please compile a list

I don't know if I really need to make a list. It's blatantly obvious to real gamers that we generally don't care about the intersectional identity of our avatars. If they even have one. What gamers DON'T like is being sh*t tested, and that's what eg DICE's stunt amounted to.

But Krystal from Star Fox is best grill protagonist.

female furry characters specifically? Freedom Planet, Equivocal, Blade Kitten if you want to stretch the definition.

How did I forget Freedom Planet? Been playing it again, it's so charming even with the low-budget VA work haha
