Why are female protagonists so much better than male ones?

No they're not. Men are stronger than women.

>>382744272
Lara Croft
Samus
Jackie Cha- fuck.

they used to be, until they turned all female protags into the same fucking woman

now you can play as any female char and she is exactly the same as all other female chars in any game you choose, why?

because devs are scared to make a woman that appears weak, or uses her sexuality to get ahead, because of SJW reprisals

>>382744713

What about Jap female protags?

because it's funny to see men so willingly give their own lives so women can live and demand equal pay for not working in any hazardous fields.

>>382744016
They have nicer boobs.

>>382744829
This is true, their hounding limits creativity and diversity. I grew tired of people blathering about "strong" character or what else, because they're more concerned with them fitting their own bullshit ideals.

Why only the west? The OP is talking about female MCs from every video game.

>>382750515
I was just pointing out that those characters are good examples, but you're going to be hard pressed finding good female characters in modern western game development.

You're just looking at bad games then. Female characters are only good for the sex appeal.

Velvet. She really just wants to kill this one dude for killing her brother.

brilliant

the problem isnt society really, its the medium, its not art, its basic skinner box reward systems with very basic rudimentary tasks that are the equivalent of placing the pellet into the basket over and over,

maybe in 100 years, when we finally move past capitalism holding back progress, we can see some dramatic improvements to video games, but by then all of you will be dead, and you wont matter nor your commentary. its just commentary, and whining little women crying foul amount to nothing.

how is 'eye candy' even an argument

that implies male protagonists aren't eye candy
also the 'woman can do it too' reason is dumb as well because not all guys are super buff and can bench their own body weight or jump off a building and live

And no it's not because there's literally nothing wrong with sex appeal, the only thing worthless here is your stupid fucking post. You'd also have a hard time arguing that any female protagonist is just there for sex appeal but you call me Anita.

>>382756089

>>382756130
Capitalism has no allegiance to anyone, but what the people want. It's guided by people's money and their ability to spend. If people are by and far a few steps above being literally and unironically retarded, they're going to be guiding the market to produce shit and create unfavorable socio-political situations.
Feudalism (which isn't even a fucking economic model you retard) has a caste system with everyone answering to the Lord of the land.
They're two different fucking things.

i know this can be countered with /v/ telling you how to think, but scantily dressed, fit women even with a 2nd less attractive human head attached to her shoulders would still be considered eye candy. hell, visit /a/ or /d/ sometime if you want to understand the extreme depths of this shit.

That is the point. Your post was trivial.

Any system can be justified by blaming the people for all of its failures.

>>382744415
>No they're not. Men are stronger than women.

Male protagonists are better because the idea of the archetypal hero is a male idea. The classic ideal woman isn't the dynamic hero that everyone looks at to save the tribe. Archetypes are important. They exist because certain ideas that are very important to social cohesion have been distilled to their purest forms over thousands of years of story telling.
