I am, but I don't think gender-neutral/character select games oft fit the bill. They don't offer a female perspective, they typically still feature hyper-sexualized female characters, other female characters in the games are still typically stereotypes that don't have agency, etc. etc. etc.
Well that's an interesting point to debate as well. Aside from the lack of games which are really designed around a female protagonist, which is certainly apparent.
So something like SWTOR, has a good variety of (what I would consider at least) reasonable roles for female characters, both as the player character and as NPCs in the game. Much of the armor is more realistic and not offensive, etc.
There's also Twi'lek slave girls.
So like, what about having realistic characters along side more unrealistic ones? Does one bad apple spoil the bunch so to speak. *shrugs*
