Came here to say pretty much this!

Character customization is rad, but otherwise... Eh, if the game is good, who cares? It's not like I'm trying to play myself in most games, y'know?

[(Anonymous)]

This. I don't want to play myself in a game, I want to play a character.

Okay, I know I'm probably late, but think about this in terms of telling stories of various characters. Doesn't it bother you that the only stories that seem to be worth telling (given the gender/race/sexual orientation of the protagonists in most of the games) are the stories of white, heterosexual men? Isn't that a bit alarming that those are the only stories that seem to matter (to the developers, to some parts of the gaming community)? That those are the only characters whose voice and whose stories are allowed to be heard?

[(Anonymous)]

No, it doesn't.

[(Anonymous)]

Then you could probably get out of this discussion and go play those games while the diverse population of gamers voice their legitimate concerns.

[(Anonymous)]

Though in many cases the characters are all male because we're still getting over the idea that a female can be the main character. Not just because females may be weaker than men (as someone mentioned before) but because the idea of seeing a woman getting beat up is distressing to a lot of people.

Look how many games only have disposable male NPCS. A lot of games also don't have children for this reason and I believe the ones in Skyrim are invincible.

Straight white males getting hurt doesn't bother people as much as literally any other race/sex/orientation does.

The times are changing though. I think games like Saints Row and Bioshock have shown we're not as squeamish about hitting women or potentially killing children. (Uh that may not be a good thing?)
