first of all, i don't believe i've ever related to a character, i draw a firm line between video game and reality, so i always just think ''wow, that's a cool character'' or ''wish i was as cool'', but never ''i am that person''.4
yes, they do. for immersion, you need to be able to see yourself in a character. to be more specific, he needs to have character traits you possess and since some character traits are locked down to a certain gender (that's how the majority feels, i'm not saying that it's right) males can more easily identify themselves with male protagonists.
i've said this before in a different topic to you: the gaming industry is an industry, so they try to target the largest demographic.
i never said nothing was wrong or therefore that everything was perfect.
there is a difference between pretending there's no problem and there just being no problem. if you have sufficient evidence that there actually is sexism in the industry, i'll believe you, just bring me absolute proof.
carolyn, just shut up with your constant feminine bs. i'm not a misogynist, but you definitely are a feminist. all these articles end one way: everyone reaches the logical conclusion that companies aren't sexist, there are just less women interested in the game industry and businesses only care about your resume, because they're ''BUSINESSES''.
also, you might take this as a terrible insult, but you're starting to remind me of mr. Garrison from South Park, who gets a sex change and suddenly starts defending women when there's nothing wrong.
