Re: 37

I could go on about some of the others, but I see some of them being defended in the comments, and yeah. *g* Also, when push comes to shove, I also hope that -- well, if you write slash, you do it because the men are the characters you're interested in instead of the girls, not because it takes the woman out of the equation. The latter is a pet peeve, though. *g*

I respect what you're saying -- I hate when female characters exist only to support a male, or only to be a self-sacrifice, but most video games have stories good enough to support something other than the Yamato Nadeshiko trope. Have you played Digital Devil Saga? I highly recommend it -- on the one hand, I think you'll probably be bothered by Sera falling into the archetype (And god knows I've argued against that before because it's always seemed really unfair and not taking her situation into account), but the main party healer is Argilla -- who's a female healer who's actually just your party mage, and a demon cannibal who eats things with her boobs and was officially the group's sniper before they all turned into demons. She's got some "extra-feminine" traits, like being the only one who resists cannibalism for a while (though there's a very strong male character who also does, which is found out about later in the game and takes that out of an anti-feminist perspective), but she's badass, strong, and just kind of awesome. And has breast-mouths, who doesn't like those? I think you'd find it an enjoyable way of handling the "party healer" trope (though anyone can learn healing skills, and I usually end up also making Cielo -- male -- a healer XD).
