Note: This was not intended to be an effortpost, but I am too much terminally neurodivergentc so my post just kept on growing and growing! 
Either way, summoning all !g*mers to examine the Empire of Autism of the 2020s culture wars in the vidya industry!, I look forward for how well all of these discussions will age within 10 or 20 years!
To start, KiNeurodivergents seem to be showing some restraint, and in a rare moment, are more or less fine with a foid protagonist!
Now what are the 4chuds and /v/irgins thinking of it?, spoiler:

Women bleed out of their vaginas 1 week per month, I don't want to play as one, it's disgusting.
One artificial wombs and s*x androids are created women will cease to have any purpose to exist.

because you have yellow fever. you will never have a jap wife though because you're a sexy Indian dude bald manlet
It will be interesting to see how people react to this from both the /pol/ crowd as well as the woke crowd since she pretty much looks like a normal woman. She's not overly doll looking, nor is she ugly like many Western games make women look nowadays. I suspect both sides will just complain anyway kek
even the most basic japanese characters in games with 'realistic' looking characters look attractive when made by asian companies, the west is doomed

remember when video game protagonists were male
Female protagonist
Based but ONLY IF she's a lesbian, or at least bisexual. Here's hoping.
This. Female protagonists are only cringe when they have romance with a guy.
Am I supposed to be mad about getting to dress up a cute ronin girl who plays a stringed instrument while walking down heavily wooded byways surrounded by the falling leaves?
I just am genuinely less interested in games with female protagonists. I am pretty sure women feel the same way about books/films/games with male protagonists. It obviously isn't an automatic no for me or for others, but I am much less likely to play the game if I am forced to be a girl.
Funnily enough if a game has a large variety of selectable characters I then don't care if I end up liking a girl the most. I play Peach in Smash bros and I am not some waifustrag. I've been a Chun Li player since SF4. Stuff like that.
!foidmoment thoughts?
women can`t be a samurai shes probably a rogue ronin
They literally called her a ronin in the trailer. Do you think that's going to stop schizophrenic posting about female samurai?

Why do western devs seem to hate Japanese men so much?
Because Jap men hate themselves and have been cucks to the BWC BVLLS fricking their Jap waifus since Feudal times!?
Face it Japbois, you are all femboy cuckies and your women belong to the VVHITE EVROPEAN BVLLS, it is simply how nature works!
ubisoft designed a more attractive jap character than Sony
How the frick did we end up here??
anyone saying a female samurai is not as woke as a black samurai is r-slurred
your brain has been subverted into thinking the lesser sin is better than the greater sin
Sekiro had female bosses. Tenchu had female protagonist. Fighting games have female fighters. Why playing as a female samurai seeking revenge is wrong? They already did a homage to samurai movies with the original.
It's the fricking r-slurred YouTube shitters whining about anything with a female in it
even fricking /r/KotakuinAction seems to be fine with it, only the YouTube/Xitter touris
s are the ones sperging at fine-looking foid main character (at least she is not frick ugly tho)
could've easily found ANY average looking japanese woman with a modicum of physical fitness
NOPE, the fat xir it is!
That would have required actually going to Japan, a place that modern PlayStation hates. You will take your genderfluid Asian American mutt and you will like it!
both of my previous statements can be true!
If you're going to force a foid on me then at the VERY least make them appeal to my peepee. Otherwise what's the fricking point.

no point in explaining something obvious to a dumb fricking BIPOC, good day. 
the Josh Goldberg terminally online shut in hobo phenotype is real, the Chud phenotype is outdated, /pol/ Chuds no longer look like this 
they now look more like this: 
"muh female protagonist!"
Okay, but let me put it to you this way: Imagine the hot spring scenes.
These are Western modern audience corporate right side of hxstory game devs, not Nipp-dophiles obsessed with hot spring voyerism

I have to wonder, there the frick are you cute twinks coming from? All you r-slurs claiming /v/ hates women protagonist. /v/ has been cooming to women protags since Lara Crost on the ps1. Still cooming to hots girls in Dead or Alive, Stellar Blade, Nier Automata and more. Then all of the sudden in the past week, all you freaks come out of nowhere acting like we hate women protagonists. You tourists need to go back to where you came from.
Every single one of these posters is a tourist
gets called out
gets defensive and tries to larp as an old strag
You're a gcj
TOTAL REDDITGOD VICTORY 
She is not Samurai. Female warriors were a thing. Samurai's wives knew how to defend themselves as a last resort to protect their homes and the Naginata is romanticized often in Japanese art as a weapon women were proficient with. Although this game could go in a boring, horrible DEIfest, a female protagonist as a vengeful warrior is not something you should immediately jump at in a negative light. I would have preferred a game centred around the four Hitokiri of the Bakumatsu. Fits the Ghost theme well. As would a Sengoku-jidai Ninja game starring a fictional protagonist of one of the tragic clans of the period. Perhaps the Azai, or even the Oda after Honnoji. You're all fricking cute twinks for making too many threads about shit you don't really give a frick about, or don't care enough to know about.
The Butt Creed girl is unironically cuter though
FRICK YOU... because your right
I have no fricking clue what this is, but I assume it's some kind of gay twitter or groomercord drama.
I love NewGODs so much bros

Sony marketers (read: Indians earning about .2 cents a post) are currently invading the board and pretending to be mad about a female protagonist in a certain game in order to get you to talk about it, because the IP itself is kind of mid and doesn't really stand on its own merits compared to a certain other Japan-produced IP with a ninja protagonist.
Don't give Sony any oxygen. Don't reply to their garbo threads. If the people you are interacting with seem willfully ignorant, it's because they are being compensated to do so.
!nooticers !antibharatiya do you think this is true?, are all of the anti-woke goobergaters actually a bunch of poos hired by Sony as a form of guerilla marketing?

Game is a massive success
Company makes sequel and fills it with "modern audience" shit, using the good will and reputation they received from their first, good game to market the second one
Everyone can see it and it's not even hard.
It happened with TLOU2, RDR2 etc. It's bullshit.
First one was already woke, secondary. You didn't play it, you will never play it, you don't give a single fricking shit about anything except your little "culture war" for having absolutely nothing else in your pathetic excuse of a "life". Now go on and seethe, b-word and cry since that is the only response you've ever learned to someone calling you out while wallowing in your own fricking shit.
