I don’t understand why conservatives were automatically angry with this game just because of a female character. Couple gangs exist in real life. Aside from Bonnie and Clyde, there are several spree/serial killers with a couple dynamic. Did they forget that Natural Born Killers is a controversial movie that people tried to censor? Shouldn’t they be celebrating the game for taking that path?
Because there's a segment of gamer reactionary culture that hates the idea of females entering the gaming space, i.e. gamergate never ended for these fucking "people" and they are eternally angry.
I just wish theyd give up hating women because I do sympathize with wanting gaming to be a niche thing, I hate twitch, big corporations and con culture.
I liked cons when they were ways for fellow fans and people interested to gather and meet and enjoy something togethor. Like all things though it's more or less become major advertising centers for major entertainment companies.
You're giving them too much credit if you think the thought process was anything more than "women in my vidya, bad!!" Because that's what they've been told to think for a decade.
