      Many stoic tough guy heroes have backstories written to justify lack of emotional expression, usually via family trauma or special training.

      Batman, Max Payne, Agent 47, Geralt of Rivia…list of male heroes with self-justifying backstory lore excusing repressed emotions is endless.

      It’s not a coincidence that fictional stoic heroes are specifically written in ways that mirror the ideals of manhood in our larger culture.

      Expression and communication of emotion is very gendered in our culture. Early on we’re taught the toxic idea that "women feel and men act.”

      Note this dosen’t mean most male heroes are written to be “emotionless” instead it means they repress & don’t express their emotional sides.

      When media constantly portrays lack of emotional expression as a brave or even heroic trait it reinforces very harmful ideas about manhood.

      Boys and men are taught to hide feelings and suppress emotions which can lead to trouble communicating or maintaining healthy relationships.

          @radicalbytes Bullshit. I've seen as many girls as guys trying to bury their feelings inside. It's not specifically a "guy" problem.

          @radicalbytes I'd like to see more games that feature maintaining healthy relationships as an ongoing goal, not just a cutscene reward.

          @radicalbytes Which extrapolates to that I'd also like to see more games about maintaining balance between factions rather than 'winning'.

          @radicalbytes I mean. Not the bit about communication. You're right about that.

          @radicalbytes Except those characters lack of emotional connection to those around them is almost always portrayed as a weakness.

          @radicalbytes Only certain feelings and emotions. It's the selectiveness of it that causes so much confusion.

          I’d also note that stoic tough guy characters are allowed some emotional outbursts but only under VERY restrictive narrative circumstances.
