Which is to say I will absolutely forgive it the next time I see Marcus Fenix, the Master Chief, Big Boss, Elliot Salem, or Soap MacTavish cowering and weeping in fear until a woman comes to rescue them. Until then it's sexist bunk.
no subject
This is exactly my problem with Other M. All other things being equal, yeah, it'd be nice for Samus to be more fleshed out as a character, but male characters in the same genre never get shown crying or cowering or even fearing anything, and if they do show fear or trauma it's the quiet, acceptable "masculine" demonstration of trauma - they don't lose their will or ability to fight. And we've never even seen MAster Cheif's face - you think any game would have him parading around in a skintight Zero Suit? Fuck no. And that's what incenses me so much about what's been done to Samus these past few years. It's just forcing her back into line with what girls are "allowed" to do and behave like when she used to be one of the few exceptions out there.
no subject
In fact, I find it more heartening than I can really express that we are not okay with this from "the girl" either, for the most part, because I think not so long ago that would have been fine. She's a girl, of course she cries and needs to be rescued. No she's a kickass badass mercenary, she doesn't cry and need to be rescued.
(Related not to the discussion but to your comment: we actually did get to see the Master Chief's face. He was - and here's a shocker - a generically handsome, tall, brown-haired, blue-eyed white dude. I was pissed, and so were a lot of other people; he went from the Everyman Hero who could be however the player saw him, to Yet Another Fucking FPS Stereotype. At least Big Boss gets his ass kicked by a woman, Salem's short (and probably gay), and Soap's a foreigner.)
