      How exactly did longbows, known for requiring significant arm strength, end up becoming the Default Female Protagonist Weapon? Is it just Hunger Games?

      It's ironically an excuse to show more chicks with big guns, but sadly one which is not sufficiently capitalized upon

      The irony is the sheer strength needed to successfully use a longbow is more than that needed to use a sword, it's one reason that longbows were a "secret weapon" of the English, you couldn't raise a troop of longbowmen unless they'd been training since childhood

      But the thing is that fighting in hand-to-hand combat involves a lot of other stuff that women are typically disadvantaged by (mostly just sheer size and reach), especially women modern audiences find attractive It's easier to fake the archery

      The thing is, in a lot of the properties I'm thinking of, firearms exist. Definitely true in Hunger Games and The Last of Us, but both chose to make the female lead's iconic weapon a bow Makes less sense in TLOU than Hunger Games but still

      I mean, in The Hunger Games guns are explicitly banned in the death tournament. So Katniss uses a bow since it's the only ranged option she really has.

      Hunger Games definitely has the poverty and self-reliance angle with Katniss being an archer, yes, it's a weapon she can make and maintain herself and therefore flies under the rules of the Capitol's ban

          I could see the same thing in TLOU then; except because it's a videogame they don't want guns and ammo to be that uncommon.
