Why is it okay when Japan adds strong female leads to their games but Yea Forums hates the west when it does the exact...
Because the west for some reason makes them ugly as sin and strong without any reason. Those two in the OP are strong for a reason
Because it's not the exact same thing. Japan understands that strong =/= dyke.
Give examples
Because one has female leads because that fulfills the creator's artistic vision. The other usually has female leads because of social pressures to make the games more "inclusive" Why am I answering this?
Because Japan does it while giving them a character, making them aesthetically pleasing, and fitting to the world. The west does it just because they happen to be a woman or identify as one with no actual backbone or character in any way. They turn into a parody of themselves. Look at Bioware's gay characters for instance. In an attempt to be more diverse, they just made the characters stand out as nothing more than gay by bringing attention to it, rather than just creating the character who happens to be gay. Now you can't look past it "Oh yeah, that's the gay dude." rather than "Oh yeah, that's a good character.".
That's why.
there's nothing strong about 2B. she's the most 1 dimensional character ever written.
she's a generic directive following robot til 9S gets taken then she suddenly chimps out for no reason. there aren't even any stakes as 9s can just keep updating his backup to the bunker.
From there even when she's "Emotional" she's the typical serious anime woman trope, always speaking in an over dramatic tone and I swear these soulless fucking character are always voiced by the same cringey american bitch that can't sell a performance worth shit.
These.
And you're saying this based on what? How the fuck do you know what's inside the creator's head?
Whent the West (read: Jews) does it, it is out of pure hatred for white peopIe and heterosexuaI men. When Japan does it, it is out of Iove for everything beautifuI in this worId.
Good enough answer?
>Japanese dev
>Creates Samus who just happens to be a woman and you don't find out until the end and her gender is irrelevant
>Western dev
>THIS IS THE TRANSGENDERED FURRY LESBIAN WOMAN WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD
I wonder user how we base this on things.
For some reason it feels like western writers have forgotten how to write strong female characters with flaws that people can like and somehow always opt for female characters that end up being too annoying or too perfect and/or too much of a female power fantasy without any likability to add on with it. Not to mention ugly to boot. I would actually say writers wrote female characters way better before in both hollywood movies and videogames since they just went with what they thought would be cool and interesting rather than having to force themselves as a need to fulfill quotas and checklists nowadays on top of worrying about backlashes to anything that can be labeled controversial and problematic.
Bayonetta > 2B
>This is a transgendered furry lesbian woman.
I don't think Rouge the Bat ever got her own game.
>when it does the exact same thing?
Because the west hasn't had a strong, female lead since classic Lara Croft.
Star Wars is a fantastic example.
>Prior to this movement
Leia
>After this movement
Rey
Bam there done.
I like strong women, I don't like ugly women.
>2B strong female lead
Trust me there's nothing much going on in taros head (pic related). having played his games.
and kamiya thinks about cool action game mechanics a lot but I don't know if his vision for bayonetta extended much beyond "badass woman who talks a bunch of shit like Dante."
Because western developers admit that they hate white men and want their extinction?
alloy a cute!!
loli alloy a goblina
Bungie Cortana
>For some reason it feels like western writers have forgotten how to write strong female characters
That's because they have. Instead of writing a character that's a woman they write a woman as the character.
Interviews and statements from devs.
2b is not a strong female in a western sense. She had deep flaws and relies on a man for emotional support and help.
This is different from Rey from starwars who is a Mary Sue in every way
Never played Halo

There's literally no difference, it's just weeb bias,
I genuinely find female characters in all forms of fiction to be uninteresting.
There are no female characters that had memorable personalities to me. Never did they have that special mixture of positive traits and flaws that humanizes a male character, never has a female character's motivation been meaningful to me, never have their struggles captivated me. I've never cheered for a female character when they do something badass, because it always just feels so hollow.
There just seems to be something inherently inferior about female characters. Something that just makes them unconvincing and uninteresting. About the most I can feel for a female character is sexual attraction.
It's not just being western that's the problem. Look at Lara Croft, no one ever had a problem with that, now look at the ugly dykes we get, I wonder what's the difference.
When Western-created female characters are as shallow, superficial and as forced as they are, we don't need to be in a creator's head to work out what their intention is.
Death Stranding will have interesting female characters.
It's not okay when anyone does it. Any game that blatantly sells with a sexy female lead is bad, no exceptions. The only reason these games even have sexy female leads is to sucker people in to buying them. If they were good, they woudln't need sex. The good gameplay would attract them and keep them playing.
piss off ACfag
Fuck off ACfag
shante is curly brace 2.0 her personality is like the same with DLC.
don't put her in with the rest of those souless statues.
I love both
That might be an argument if her games weren't putrid repetitive trash. FFS they have DLC dedicated solely to putting her in even sexier clothes and pajamas, instead of fixing the horrific gameplay.
>I swear these soulless fucking character are always voiced by the same cringey american bitch that can't sell a performance worth shit.
You mean Runka-Chunk?
Because the strong women don't all follow the same cliche design and personality.
Here's a strong female lead. She looks nothing like a cliche strong woman looks like. She acts nothing like a generic strong female lead. Yet she's stronger than all the female leads in modern western games.
but thats got nothing to do with female characters.
Don't reply to ACfag
There's nothing wrong with the character being sexy and having no personality. It's a video game, it's supposed to be fun. Characters being ugly dykes with no personality is no fun for anyone.
Because the west isnt creative at all.
>Zelda is a bad character because "EMOTIONS"
You are one of the biggest retards on Yea Forums and that's saying something.
there's like 5 of these cunts who usually do anime type shit and always talk and perform exactly the same.
The game would never sell if it didn't have sexy waifus slathered on the front. Replace them all with featureless, genderless, intentionally non-sexy robotic characters, and nobody would ever touch the series.
>It's a video game, it's supposed to be fun.
And dedicating 1000+ hours of cutscenes to showing the characters and their butts in sexy poses? How is that fun? Why pay 60 bucks to watch a damn cutscene?
I wouldn't say Neptune is the stronger than most... Even if she is a goddess or not
>dude she cry because she sad 10/10 story of the year
Yikes. I think I'll pass, if that's okay with you.
>ACfag at again with the shit arguments
Notice how the wild ACfag will attempt to pass his hate off as genuine but always goes back to Nintendo
>runs her own country
>is a goddess
>can get incredibly strong when she's leveled up and learned all her different skills and EXE drives
>can transform
>Nier
>Shantae
>Nintendo
Hey ACfag, Metroid Prime didn't do this, so checkmate.
Metroid Prime was proof that you can have a female character not be sexualized, and still have the game be good. So checkmate indeed, in my favor.
Then you aren't ACfag, simple as that. He hated Metroid Prime and Other M and constantly praised Super Metroid.
I guess I'm not ACfag then, because I love Metroid Prime.
We don't, that's just what's evident from how the characters are presented.
