It’s probably best to stay out of the discourse surrounding female protagonists and characters in games right now. All actual debate has been removed in favor of scammers who are desperately trying to get all the attention they can by claiming that games are being ruined by the woke mob.
The latest target of the hate is Kay Vess, the protagonist of the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft has recently received some criticism for this upcoming open-world action-adventure game, as the prices of some editions feel completely out of proportion, but then of course they have to chime in and say that the game will die simply because they don’t find the main character attractive.
Participating in any gaming discourse is usually a minefield, but lately it’s especially felt like a nuclear wasteland, as the old-school self-described counterculture gamers keep finding a new game to praise to the skies or get delisted on Steam. In reality, the “problem” is simply not that deep, if it exists at all. Star Wars is a galaxy full of roaring furry creatures, droids that exude far too much charm with a single beep, and yet there’s apparently no room for a woman someone doesn’t find attractive?
