Ehhh I really don’t feel like replying but I guess I can’t ignore such a long message either….

• You’ve never been uncomfortable with female characters? Good for you.
• Female sidekicks and love interests can be cool characters per se, but it doesn’t negate the alarming lack of female protagonists. Your examples are the same handful that’s brought up in every conversation - games with female-only protags still make up only 3%. So yes, we need more female heroes and stories told from a female POV. Here’s one reason why they matter. Granted Japanese games have a slightly better track record on this, but they’re guilty of some skeevy crap as well.
• Chie is not white. Yes, she’s a timid rookie dealing with dangerous people. I don’t see a problem here.
• What’s slut-shaming got to do with any of this? I have nothing against ladies wearing sexy outfits as long as it’s consistent with their personality. It makes sense for Isabela (Dragon Age II) and Bayonetta who are both promiscuous and sexually assertive characters. The problem here is that a rough estimate of 90% of female characters do dress in revealing outfits, and they do that FOR NO REASON other than the designer wanting something to masturbate to. And then the camera will be programmed to zoom up the character’s ass without her awareness. Yippie-fucking-doodle-doo that sure feels empowering

So no, I can’t say that I agree with most of your points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: lots of edits, sorry. I just got out of bed and am struggling with my English agghh
