I wasn't complaining about there being too many women in OW, I just found it odd that the majority of the newest heroes have been women. I don't have anything against making more female game characters-just as long as they're not created to appease the members of 3rd wave feminism (Which sadly, is the direction that most game developers are going for nowadays  Sad ).

Games like Shantae have a mostly female cast and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, Wayforward in general loves women characters in their games, but they're always developed and interesting. On the other hand, Final Fantasy 15 had an almost all male cast, which greatly improved the bro road trip vibe they were going for. If they had say, changed Prompto to a woman willy nilly, it would've ruined the narrative.

Demanding that they change their work just to satisfy you isn't exactly fair to the artist's work.
Your first and last sentences pretty much explain why feminists will never get game developers to create them the game of their dreams.

Thank you for speaking the truth!Thumbs Up
