Its okay, you can say it. Modern identity politics and existing market familiarity.
I mean, it would have been maybe more interesting to me to play as my own character in the Witcher universe, but Ciri is not the worst choice in the world, even if she was an extremely predictable pick for protagonist.
EDIT: "Come to Lemmy, we are way more chill and less hostile than Reddit." Lol, whoever told me this was obviously lying. It's exactly the same here, just with more Tankies.
- You know that incels have a smell, right?
  
  Sounds like a projection
  
  The smell incels have does project pretty far, yes
  
  Can you describe the smell ?
  
  No one here seems to think we need to, son. Try soap.
- What do you mean by "modern identity politics"?
  
  They mean 'women protagonists bad!'
  
  No, that is not what I mean. I usually pick to play as a woman in games anyway. But I won't explain it now, since you have just assumed something incorrect and I know it will be more frustrating for people here to leave it this way.
  
  I didn't assume, you broadcasted it with 'modern identity politics' bullshit.
  
  Yes, women protagonists are so EVIL, thats exactly why I almost always intentionally pick to play as them! Wow, you are so smart!
  
  Looks like you meant to reply to some other post.
  
  It doesn't frustrate anyone. It makes you look bad...lol
- It's so easy to pick out the bigots when you say "women can do things too" and they lose their mind and start ranting about "modern identity politics".
  
  Yes, I am the bigot that usually picks to play as a woman in video games ever since they had the option. How very bigoted of me.
  
  You don't play female characters because you're a supporter of strong heroic women and want to embody one. You do it because you want to look at a female character on your screen. This really isn't the flex you think it is.
  
  Metroid and Alien are two of my favorite franchises, both featuring strong heroic women as the central character, but go off.
  Thanks for telling me to just block you, proving that Lemmy is not the place of positivity that it was advertised to me as. Some of you Lemmy users are just as hateful as users somewhere like on t social, gotta love it.
  
  Lemmy is very left-leaning, and you complained about "modern identity politics" from having a female lead in a video game. You shouldn't be surprised at all.
  
  Yes, you are. Glad you understand.
- Isn't this a little like hating on Geralt in W3 because he was extremely predictable pick for a protagonist?
- I kinda see what you wanted to say in the second part of your message but I have to hardly disagree with the first part
- Read, then post.
- Edit: ...
  Thanks for visiting. Don't stay so long next time.
