There's been a few more female protagonists in games in the past few years. Not enough, but a few. That's important, and makes games better as a whole.

No, in the same way that having a male protagonist doesn't guarantee that either. But in terms of having fewer deeply sexist representations of women & more decent ones, we're making a tiny bit of progress in the right direction. And that makes games (as a culture) a bit better.

I find it hypocritical when yall complain about a woman being hit or shot when most of the time in shooters you are mowing down men.

You're wrong. Our position is not hypocritical. If you want to know what we actually think about this issue, watch this video: https://youtu.be/u64MGg3Hpp0

Yeah I’ll pass this from the person who took the hitman gameplay out of complete context to fit a agenda

Right. The devs of Hitman put those mechanics in the game desperately hoping that no player anywhere would ever ever use them. That makes sense.

No my point about that was she was acting like it promoted acting women without any down side when there as a decrease in your score on the screen when she said it

Your argument is like saying "You're never actually supposed to do bad things in GTA, the game tells you this by increasing your wanted level and sending cops after you."
