@JustPlainLucas I didn't see the part where he said they are obligated to. All I saw was a criticism.

@JustPlainLucas It got lost amongst the horde or angry fans.

@StinkySkunkGirl @granola_goodnes Still it points out a real insecurity among commenters. Everyone is so stuck on the fact that she said GTA is misogynistic that they ignored the fact that she raved about the game for 2 pages!! She made, what seems to me, a justified criticism about a game she loved because she does want women to be portrayed with the variety and wit of the male characters. She wants them to have more agency within the story rather than being regulated to background aesthetic all the time while the male characters have all the fun.

@berserker66666 @granola_goodnes Shaundi was cool! So are a lot of female characters. So are a lot of girls I know. I mean, women make up almost half of the gamer population, and over half the world population and video games are a fantasy after all. Why not let them play an active role more often?

@StinkySkunkGirl Getting the local rabble riled up with her damned observations? How dare she take a critical eye to a game series everyone loves!

@StinkySkunkGirl and why is that?

@Loshead Could be cause she's an editor.

@berserker66666 Eh. multiplayer comes out and you can make a chick if you want, but it seems like a missed opportunity not to include one in the story. Esspecially one with such an intricate plot.

@RecurringEspion @granola_goodnes Charlize Theron never looked so horrible... but it is a crazy movie.

@RecurringEspion ooo!! like that chick from Monster!
