Why exactly are female characters so unpopular in gaming?
Probably because they're unrealistic.
foids ruin any medium
Most gamers (i would say 2 thirds) are super closeted and deeply insecure, and they believe playing as a woman will cause a random gay man to enter their home and fuck them in the ass. Many of these gamers are among us on this board
The average gamer is a 40 year old mom playing candy crush and 10 year old Timmy borrowing her phone
the funny thing about this image is that anon thought it would own women but it actually only says a lot about the upvoters (who are all men)
Yeah simps ruin mediums by letting women in.
None of this would have happened if females admit they owe incels sex.
I have mostly forgotten what women are like.
They do not speak to me anymore.
In the end the enabler did less damage than the actual cause, both should be tortured either way
when you include the woman artist as part of the artwork it sends a mixed signal to would-be investors about what drives peoples attention. men dont care about that watercolor painting. men care about this woman DMing them asking them to dig her raw. simply put--the artwork itself isnt good enough, but someone might actually think thats what audiences want simply because the pic of the bitch got 55k views
They really aren't though. Women that are basically just men because being feminine is sexist are unpopular. Surprise surprise, even women like hot women because of the same reason guys like male power fantasies. Samus Aran is popular as fuck, hot as fuck, still strong as fuck despite being a blonde in a skinsuit wearing armor.
I think a lot of people just choose the default, either the actual default or (if a forced choice with no default selection) what they think feels like the default.
It was Alexios in the trailers and on the cover so I'm not sure why anyone's surprised that most people chose that option.
If Kassandra had been more heavily promoted then she would have probably have been chosen more, and if she'd been the only option I think that would've had only a minor effect on sales.
They're popular if they're pretty. Like the new frog game - Exploration 44 or whatever. The top 2 picked characters are pretty girls. The 3rd place is a guy. And last place is the ugly woman.
It is what it is.
Not sure how it is with other languages, but mine they decided to put a heavy accent on Kassandra, while letting Alexios clean out of it, so playing with him was less torturous.
This. No one in their right mind would think some super soldier type of character is a woman.
Games, movies and book write their women like men and then gets shocked when it bombs when the majority male audience don't like it.
With all the male Gamers who want to be female, it is a shock they don't choose female characters.
Really? Kassandra makes far more sense and her voice acting is far better. She is pretty solid and does a pretty good job carrying the game.
Could even earn a place among the best female characters out there.

Yet Resident Evil games since day 1 had female protagonist option and nobody cared. Curious.
Kassandra makes far more sense
lol
her voice acting is far better
lmao
the female's voice acting is better
why do eggs always say this?
Dudes are cool.
her voice acting is far better
MALAKA
Because men are the Tank/DPS gender while females are the fragile healslut gender
Man, this cuck probably thought he was being profound with this one. Accidentally made a hilariously true song too kek,
see
Because gamers are gay.
I enjoy posting that song a lot when a thread pops up about why women enjoy violent shows and such
Usually one of 3 reasons
female in game that's supposed to be historically accurate but depicts girlboss doing man things
femoids depicted as the "alpha" of the 2 genders game is very matriarchal with no reason for it to be, all women are intelligent and strong all men are retarded
female uses male face model and is made ugly as sin
kek
That surprises me too, multiple people told me you're meant to play as Kassandra
No matter how hard devs keep pushing it I will not play as a girl. I do not want to stare at a girl's ass for 20 hours.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there's somewhat of an undercurrent of misogyny in the gaming sphere
see if you can catch anyone disliking or hating women on Anon Babble, or even in this very thread
Only gooners play female characters and they have to be attractive in the first place.
And two-thirds of the Kassandra players are dudes wanting to goon
Man do I dislike and hate women
Because most gamers are straight cis men.
Alexios because I'm gay irl
Playing as your own gender is the most natural and normal thing. Men play as men, women play as women, just like men play with action figures and GI Joes and women play with barbies. And since most people who buy and play video games are normie men, it stands to reason most of them would choose to play as a man.
Stacy exposes the complete retardation and disinterest of men in anything other than goon material
anon: this is womens’ fault
Ok, retard-kun
In a game where you shoot guns, I don't mind it. The Soviet Union used female snipers in WW2 and they were good, which just goes to show how much of an equalizer guns are. But in a game with melee combat, it immediately ruins my immersion when a woman overpowers a man. Get that shit out of here. That just doesn't happen.
Because no matter how hard they try to gaslight people into the opposite, the vast majority of people who play games are still young men and boys. It's not until you include mobile games (IE time wasting programs on your phone) do the demographics start to increase in the number of women. Yet it's this demographic that couldn't give any less of a shit about games is the one the industry is still trying to cater towards.
* shit female characters are unpopular
They should've made her hotter and given her a big fat pair of tits.
unpopular with men maybe
Most people are npcs, and when confronted with a character choice they overwhelmingly choose to play themselves or something similar.
Because gamers aren't gay.
I wish I were female so fucking badly
Because the only "people", and I use the word people were loosely here, who play as foids in games are troons, faggots, coomers (basically all the same group of failed men just under different names) and foids (but only 0.00000000001% of all foids in the world even play video games). Normal people always pick the male character because it's the default choice just like basically every single action movie has a male protagonist or how only male sports are popular to watch. Women are just lame and have no aura and do everything worse than men. The only place where their inclusion in major roles is justified and not just a result of woke feminist brainrot is porn.
Why exactly are female characters so unpopular in gaming?
with all the clair obscur threads
its as easy as HRT and plastic surgery
Average femprotagtroon.
metroid is a niche series compared to any man game
Because men don't fall for the power fantasy that feminist have told them, no women aren't men with tits, they're useless beyond reproduction and judging at hie birthrates are plummeting all over the world, they're not even good at it.
/thread
Female characters' popularity is rooted in how cute or hot they are and how likable their personalities are
Western games don't allow their girls to be cute or hot and have extremely unlikable personalities
Because men don't fall for the power fantasy that feminist have told them
Anon Babble is full of simps who worship women as walking infallible gods.
IIRC it was something like 80% or even higher that picked Alexios, yet the devs still chose to make Kassandra the "canon" option. Alexios is the canon choice and I don't care what they have to say. Even the actor that plays him knows that.
Kassandra wouldn't have even been allowed to roam freely in any Spartan-controlled area, had the game decided to have a modicum of realism. You might play as a demigod, but it's surprising not a single NPC will ever comment on the subject of a "woman mercenary warrior" wandering through Sparta.
Just make a Prostitute Simulator if you want female characters to be played.
this guy is giga based. I hope the rest of his songs are based too, what is his number 2 song? "nigga sieh heil hitler" or something?
Everyone took Jill in RE1 because it was easier
That can't be true, everyone here won't shut up about playing only as Girl Characters.
Purpose of female characters in games is taking their clothes off. If you can't do that, the character is pointless.
men are also good at healing. Men literally do all positions good. Women ... heal if they are in the mood. I should just let Ragnaros fuck these bitches and not bother tanking.
females
unpopular
Now take a look at the m/f-ratio of modded Skyrim.
Same on most of Anon Babble. Anon Babble simps hard for any female mangaka even if their work is dogshit.
70 replies and still no Kassandra boop
western devs be like
"TF THESE BIGOTS DON'T PLAY WITH WOMYN"
the womyn in question:
I only play girls if they’re cute or I can put them in skimpy clothes. Or when there’s no other option, of course.
That's a 'gay in prison' type of situation and not comparable to the broader gaming market
I play as a dude yet still felt like a complete faggot installing himbo
Mentally healthy men want to be men. Women also want to be men because it allows them to feel powerful. Women being portrayed as powerful feels hollow and dishonest.
Only fruitcakes play as bitches.
Oh look it’s the same cope where some fag has to be project his mental illness on everyone else to cope with being called a fag.
