Why do people complain about "women representation" in videogames when one of the oldest, most badass, most well known futuristic battle armor wearing space fighter's was a woman ? Did they not play this?
Why do people complain about "women representation" in videogames when one of the oldest, most badass...

Some people just enjoy complaining. They complain loud and obnoxiously because they like hearing their own voice.
James Campbell
>Did they not play this?
I think you know the answer to this.

And we know she's a woman because she strips to her underwear after you beat the game. That is the sort of shit they are complaining. Nobody gives a fuck about your "strong female character" when there's blatant male gaze pandering.
Parker Jenkins
Samus would have a butch haircut, and be retconned as a tranny if a Western dev got their hands on her in 2020
Logan Evans
It's not her underwear though, and then they even retconned that to a full body suit. Fact of the matter is she was always a woman and always will be. She's strong and independent and has no sex-appeal pandering besides if you beat the game in a good time.
Xavier Collins
Please don't joke about that shit. I don't want to think about Samus as anything other than the beauty she is under the suit.
Chase Kelly
>implying this is an issue
Yeah man Link isn't shown off at all these days as well huh?
This pretty much
>Phantasy Star
>Monster World 4
>Shantae
>Wild Arms 3
>Final Fantasy 6
>Child of Light
I really could go on but its such a stupid issue
Nicholas Ross
Because Samus was a good female protagonist as was Lara Croft up until the series went to shit.
Now female protags only exist as ugly mouthpieces.
Juan Smith
There were more than 700 games on the nes, and yet people always claim one game when talking about representation. Probably cause they really can’t name more...
Evan Cooper
cause representation is just a vector for power plays, it's not anything to do with justice or equality it's just an in for sjw's to get jobs/positions of authority/control others
Samuel Gutierrez
She has alien super powers or some shit which justifies it enough to not break my willful suspension of disbelief
Dominic Bell
because it's not overt radlib propaganda
smus being a woman isn't treated like something special, it's not used to push retarded ideas, she doesn't humiliate men or nor does she have a chip on her shoulder, it's just a homage to 80s scifi/horror heroines like helen ripley or sarah connor
Carter Powell
>here's your redesign, bro
Henry Campbell
This
Elijah White
>this argument
>when the NES was still pretty much just platformers, licensed games, and so on like Tetris, Duck Hunt, and stuff like FF was whatever gender you wanted.
>Point is character in gaming hadn't evolved much yet, I mean the last gen was just single screens and shit still pretty much.
>Giana Sisters
Its not hard to find a game with female characters at all on it.
William Price
Samus is too good looking, feminists want everyone to be ugly like them
Mason Edwards
Representation/inclusivity is a dog whistle.
Nathaniel Green
You are so right my brother, you understand that God damns the woman who whores herself by showing skin. Her body, her responsibility to keep it covered at all times.
Blake Gutierrez
She's been nothing but a sex symbol from day one
Aiden Powell
>it's just a homage to 80s scifi/horror heroines like helen ripley or sarah connor
Two more beloved characters people like to ignore in favor of the "We need more representation!" narrative, interestingly enough.
Carter Flores
nothing is about what it's about. they don't want female vidya characters, or even female vidya players or developers.
it's about using victimhood as a tactic to support the progressive Cathedral
William Moore
Why are these people so fucking in love with remaking girls to look like the Venture Bros
Grayson Evans
AWWW YA BABY LOOK AT THOSE DICK SUCKING LIPS
WHEN I SEE PIXEL SAMUS I JUST THINK SEX BECAUSE SQUARE BOOBS TURN ME ON SO MUCH
William Miller
>Giana Sisters is just Mario with girls!
Same people;
>When will we get Mario as a girl?
Angel Thomas
What's up with Samus's weird nipple lights
John Morris
I just glanced at NES games I own
Dragon Warrior 3/4
FF 1-3
Ghost Lion
Legacy of the Wizard
Maniac Mansion
Not one of these games was bought giving a single fuck about gender politics
Ayden Watson
American millenials never left the 'girls have cooties' phase
Jordan Stewart
Shitmus, the most overrated vidya girl of all time, has been incel bait since the first game. Hence, not a feminist icon, but a coomer one.
Colton Morris
>50 per cent of the population
>50 per cent of vidya game players
>1 game
"Why aren't you happy with your representation? Here's this one game that has a woman. Stop complaining and just appreciate it."
Oliver Jenkins
You can't even know she's a woman until you beat the game dude.
None of them have a single protagist afaik. They are shitty JRPGs or adventure games that of course demand a big variety of characters.
Isaac Edwards
>the good Metroid games
Samus being a girl doesn’t matter
>the bad Metroid game
Samus being a girl matters
There. That’s the secret. I cracked the code. Piss off now.
Henry Nguyen
Samus is representation done right. Samus is a bounty hunter that happens to be female. If you changed her gender, nothing about her overall character changes, she's still a bounty hunter.
Bad female representation is when being a woman is the only aspect of the character to the point where changing the gender of the character radically alters the whole character. Not only is the STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMYN trope boring and overused, it's borderline stereotyping which is another problematic practice in its own right.
Luis Morgan
Almost like the character never mattered at all to these, like this is all just a melodramatic issue. All videogame characters could be outrageously feminine and not at the same time, and this problem would still persist
Owen Butler
*protagonist
Elijah Jackson
It's always Metroid that gets brought up. Nobody ever talks about The Guardian Legend and my starship waifu.
Robert Hill
bc metroid games sucked until 2002
Austin Thomas
Imagine being such a worthless excuse for a human being that you need to be represented to enjoy something you're not going to play anyway.
