I'm not sure I understand the issue mentioned by @mrfuji3 and @The_Red_Queen. Could someone shed some lights, please?
I have in mind the same logic that can be found in game like Dragon Age 2 were there is a male Hawke and a female Hawke.
Or how sometimes, there are movies were the main character was expected and written as a male but cast with an actress. Like Salt with Angelina Jolie.
And, in my opinion, it mostly worked. To me, it allows to break tired tropes, every now and then.
I am missing something? I legit would love some perspective on this.
It might lead to some criticism that they didn't get enough into how something like gender would impact someone's story. If there's ever a few incompatible details, I don't think It would be that bad If they're just changed. Since people want "X character, but fe/male", I mean. "Default", as envisioned, and the gender swapped option. Maybe not philosophically superior, but people don't have super high expectations or something 😅
