Lae’zel and Shadowheart can be mean sometimes, and it’s okay to embrace women in video games like them.

    So the author argues that unlikable characters should be liked because: buzzword, buzzword, woman, buzzword and that the customers are wrong. It’s art, it’s subjective, and that means people can also not like it. If it is indeed the case a vocal group of customers are finding it hard to get into the game because some characters are perceived as badly written, I doubt this is because they are all misogynistic neck-beards.

      Yeah, “people don’t like the racist authoritarian because she’s a woman” sure is a hot take.
