After hearing all the complaining, I expected Catherine to be a lot worse than she is.

She's... very tame. I don't get why so many gamers are so infuriated by her. I can only assume they're of the opinion that feminism and gender equality are things that, in general, are utterly intolerable.

And--not on the Larian forums, but elsewhere--some of the comments strike me as being rooted in some pretty deep-seated misogyny. I always find it amusing, and a little tragic, when people can look at a piece of comedic media and be perfectly fine with everything--enjoying and then laughing at all the jokes--and then, suddenly, decide to take one joke as some sort of personal attack. It's silly.

Again, not talking specifically about anyone here, just about the general reaction I've seen to Catherine elsewhere. (I've been all over the Internet participating in Dragon Commander discussions in an effort to get more people to buy this phenomenal game).
