Yeah, wanting female protagonists that actually have a backbone, interesting background & likeable (or hell, at least believable) personality, and also aren't just an eye-candy - I believe you've shown us a good practice here: let's just label all that as feminist trash and never talk about it again, shall we? I commend you on being able to cut through BS that some would call "choice". Thank you for showing us what it really is: a toxic, perverse way of poisoning your (and obviously, by extension, everyone else's) gameplay. About damn time we stand up to differences among gamers, by eliminating whatever you don't find warm and cosy, making everything in your taste and your taste alone.
I don't ever want a game with a female protagonist because that completely breaks the basic immersion of a game and makes me feel like an observer.
I'm glad you were raised to be an open-minded individual who can clearly see that not every person (male, female, transgender, dragon lord, banshee) views this world the same way. You have shown positively great understanding of opinions and preferences other people may have; there's probably an inkling somewhere in the back of your mind that not all of those preferences are the same as yours, but I urge you to ignore it as hard as you can on the off chance it'll go away. Nothing good can come out of diversity, especially of pixel variety. After all, those couple of triangles on the front of our protagonists can wreak havoc when wielded by the wrong gender and we can't really have any of that. We just won't stand for it! RPGs (role playing games) are especially tricky in this department: sly devils want to trick you into believing that you should actually role-play whatever you can possibly imagine, be it a horse, a manly brute or a winged maiden. But you and I know the truth, we've seen that there is only one way to role-play properly - men play men and girls, well, they are probably doing something girly with their mascaras and eye-liners in the restroom. Besides, let's face it, ovaries really don't have any business of enjoying the virtual realms at all. I'd just like to assure you that female protagonists definitely break immersion for everyone out there. The fact that there are so few good examples of playable female characters has nothing to do with the fact that there are fewer female than male gamers. That I'm sure of, based on a random anecdotal story I've heard second hand in a local store once. Just kidding, I heard it in a pub, men don't go shopping. Just like we don't play fictional girly girls in our goddamn games.
