I can't believe the Naughty Dog people are liberal morons so much. Instead of the beloved male character Nathan Drake they have decided to put two female characters to be leading stars in the upcoming Uncharted. If I want to play as a female character there is already Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. Uncharted was the possibility to play as a male character. Now there is no more possibility to choose between male and female characters at all. If you are not an oligophrenic liberal, you should boycott the upcoming Uncharted game. Let's make them stop this liberal madness. I want Nathan Drake back!

To be honest it does seem like pandering a little, like someone got in the ears of Naughty Dogs higher ups and said "Why are all the main characters in your games men, are you sexist or something?"
Then between this with Uncharted and seemingly Ellie being the main character for TLOU2, makes me wonder,
I will still buy both and more than likely enjoy both, its just a little suspicious
Of course some here will say "what are you talking about, you're imagining it" to them I say what I always say - if you want to bury your head in the sand, be my guest.

The fact that the game decision to put female characters front and center reduced you to such pathetic whining guarantees I will support it. Anything that makes knuckle-dragging misogynist losers complain about liberals just makes my day.

Yeah cause we all know it would go well if the next Tomb Raider game had Dr. James Whitman as the main character, you know this guy Absolutely nobody would say anything, people would be fine, I'm sure nobody would rip Crystal Dynamics a new one for replacing a female lead with a male one, also anybody that says anything negative would just be misandist losers too wouldn't they? BTW as I said I'm looking forward to the new Uncharted game (even though I didn't really like Chloe or Nadine that much)

We'll talk then.

Over 90-95% of games give you no choice but to play as the white male character. Yet there's an uproar about the ones who force you to play as a woman? Come on, people. It's not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. Just play. I never had an issue being Jill Valentine, Lara Croft, Samus or many other female video game characters.

Wrong, the uproar (if you could even call it that) is the unnecessary changes that wouldn't happen the other way Oh and BTW I'm sure 90-95% of games from Japan have Asian characters and doesn't stop people from the west loving them Nobody had an issue with them, thats the point, there are plenty of games with women main characters before recently, its just stupid that now companies are trying to shoe it in for Brownie points.

That's just not true at all. Happens all the time. Look at Hollywood giving Wolverine Kitty's role in Days of Future Past. And yes, I do call it uproar. Just look at the vile negativity on this thread alone. Yet for some reason, if it's a woman, it is a problem. As this thread shows. Some games, not plenty. Also, who has actually played the game? The uproar is really all about the character's sex. And why is it "brownie points?" With who? Women? Why shouldn't a video game company try to market toward a lucrative demographic?

We'll talk then. Utter nonsense, there is no wage gap, Show me one job advert that say, weekly pay for men: 700dollars a week, pay for women 550dollars a week, then we'll talk. Where does it happen? How can it when its illegal

Ha ha ha ha. They couldn't get away with the wage gap if they were overt about it. But yes, it does exist.
That's my favorite part. Since when does that make something impossible?

The uproar is really all about the character's sex. And why is it "brownie points?" With who? Women? Why shouldn't a video game company try to market toward a lucrative demographic? You know its not just because its a woman, you know its because they have taken 2 franchises that have made their name with lead male characters and are bringing out new entries with female leads The sames thing would happen if new Bayonetta or Mirrors Edge with male leads, I would call it stupid and be wary of it too. The "Brownie points" are the very small band of both men and women (usually in some games media/journalist job) who are making a big fuss about these things, as for the lucrative demographic, I'd say 99% don't really care what sex the character they are playing as is, as long as the game is good thats all that matters How are they being overt about it? Unless you are being paid cash in hand, how could you do it legally? Also, if the wage gap was real what sane employer would bother hiring men, businesses are in the business of making money so why would any company want to pay someone more for doing the exact same job when you apparently don't have to, what sense does that make, women would make up 100% of jobs if women were really being paid 78c on the Dollar like they claim, thats why its nonsense, it is literal nonsense.

Utter nonsense, there is no wage gap, Now you are demonstrating that you are a complete ignoramus. The wage gap is acknowledged as real by every mainstream economist in the world, moron. By saying it doesn't exist you are basically putting yourself in the same basket of crazy as young earth creationists and global warming denialists. Literally.

So then, because it's two women. That's pretty much what I said.
You should tell that to the people complaining that the lead characters are women now. They're the ones who need to learn that lesson the most. So far, the only compaints about the games are the characters' sex. I've seen nothing about it being a bad or buggy game. Just "Woman make me mad!"
Easy. Ever noticed how many jobs list the salary as "Between $39,000 - $41,000?" Odds are a woman will be hired for the 39,000 but a man would be hired at the 41,000. And yes, it's perfectly legal. That's the problem. Companies can get away with it.

Why can't people get that through their thick heads.

Just because you don't believe in something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Ask evolution deniers, flat earth theorists, and moon landing hoaxers. www.pay-equity.org/info-time.html
