You know, i never understood how people can have the cognitive dissonance to say "everything gamers like about their favorite video games is shit" and then get pissed about being "excluded" from the gaming community.
I think Jessica Jones really embodies like.. this power fantasy aspect that I like. She's strong, she brooding, she doesn't give a fuck, she has issues like.. that makes her real to me, ya know? And she doesn't take shit. Irl I'm such a pushover, and I'm just too.. nice. And like dudes think that can take her but nope, she's super strong and not afraid. I dunno, that's awesome. Her character is a power fantasy for me in a way because being that strong and just not having to be afraid, and just hold my own? Thats a power fantasy to me.
And.. uhhg, this is such a complicated one for me, and I'm almost pensive to talk about it because of how problematic some aspects of it are in my opinion. Bayonetta. I know she's essentially a dominatrix and is designed quite a bit to appeal to men, but as someone who likes absurd shit and is very sex positive I really like how she's just this crazy powerful witch lady with guns attached to her feet, and I think weaponizing sex appeal can be kindof.. badass? In the right context at least. Again, that's a power fantasy: super strength, agility, speed, and weilding a powerful sex appeal. There's a lot of conversation in that though in discussing her character and the problems with the way games portray her, so don't for a second think I condone some of the misogyny displayed in that.
Max Payne 3 is a gritty reboot? Lmao, are these those fabled Gaymurr Grills that talk more about how problematic games are instead of just playing them? Top comment is about Mario for fuck's sake. This is worse than the normal r/gaming circlejerk

Every girl gamer I've met in real life had been an actual gamer. Every girl who declares themselves such online has been full of shit.

I, too, noticed that the vast majority of vidya protagonists have two legs.
The industry needs a shakeup now.

I can think of a lot of protagonists you cant get bingo on.
