I gave you a link filled with 27 pages of games with female protagonists, each page having around 10-20 games. So far from what I have noticed, you seem to completely miss all the points people make and assume they are an attack on you. I saw a comment referring to the lack of clothing and over sexualized imagery of female characters, so I responded to it. I have no issue with you not wanting to play a male character, or you not liking the games suggested (though I am curious as of to why). The only issue I have is how you conducted yourself and that you were missing quite a few points people made. I honestly believe it would be a good idea to slow down when you read what people say and actually think about it. That might help with you feeling so attacked. Also, someone asking why you do not like a game does not bring about haters. It is a natural part of conversation. For example, I absolutely hate Call of Duty. Naturally, they ask how I do not like it, and then they accept and understand my reasoning. I do not blow up on them and call them haters or anything, I acknowledge that they are legitimately curious. Oh, and seriously. Check out that list. there were some pretty good games with female protagonists. If you do not like a game, try a different one. I am sure you can find at least one in that list.

I have heard the argument that seeing the balloon muscles is geared towards men and not women because men want to put themselves in that place, but could that not be seen the same for the female counterparts? Do you not want to imagine yourself as a beautiful and strong female woman who can wear next to nothing, but be just as protected as someone wearing enough metal that the earth may crumble because its' foundation is removed? Since there is so much complaining, I am assuming no. Well, the same is for some of us, myself included. I do not like it in any game for any gender, but I do not let it ruin a perfectly good game for myself. If you are thinking my thoughts are this way because I am a man, then congrats, you are being sexist. Oh, and this opinion was brought to me BY A WOMAN, and I agreed with it. Oh, and your freak out about gamer-girls, a little ridiculous. It was a question asking how you could not like them. I am pretty sure it would be asked of anyone who would dislike it. It is not trying to force you to like the game, more so an explanation. Oh, and I have met MANY gamer-girls who absolutely LOVE a lot of those games. Not very hard to find really. Oh, if it is not on the list. Sarah Kerrigan of the Zerg is a lead female role, and pretty awesome.
