Could you imagine if there was a video game where you can create your character and the default character was female?
Like imagine if in, say, Skyrim
Theyâre like âWho are you?â and it turns the camera around and loads up character creation and itâs defaulted, from the get-go, to female Nord instead of male Nord
Could you fucking imagine the outrage that would cause?
Could you imagine how many people would get irrationally pissed off and write angry articles on Kotaku n shit about how the game âforces feminist agendas on its playersâ if for once, just once, the default was female instead of male
And no, random doesnât count. If itâs a game where the character creation screen defaults to a randomly generated character every time, or one of multiple presets, that doesnât count
And neither does any game where thereâs multiple races and one of the races is primarily or only female
I mean:
>Start the game
>Create character
>A female character shows up
>In order to be male, you have to click the Male checkbox
>Femaleâs pre-selected
>Every time
Every game I have literally ever played that has a female option always has male selected by default, literally every time
Even Pokemon! âAre you a boy or a girl?â has the cursor on Boy by default
I have never, literally ever, played a game where itâs defaulted to female, and I guarantee if it ever happens, there will be an obnoxious amount of delicious, delicious outrage from people who donât want to admit they hate women
I found a body in the woods and reported it to the police, only to find the same man alive and well in those same woods later. I tell him, âThey found your body!â and he laughs. âNo they havenât,â he says. Then he pats a big bag hanging from a tree. âItâs right in here!âÂ
