Hello Everyone,


Just my (very long) rambly thoughts on how “Strong Female Characters” have been used to gaslight Gamers for several years now.

I my experience, most Gamers grew up with powerful female characters like Samus Aran, Lara Croft, Chun Li, and others, so it’s not that Gamers hate strong women, it’s that Gamers hate being told they are sexist when they don’t like how these characters are changed, or how “Strong Female Characters” are showhorned into games via scenarios that make no sense in context
