All main characters in borderlands 3 are women

[丂卩ㄖㄖ几ㄚ 丂卂ㄩㄥ]

Lillith, Maya, Ava and Tannis. So where is the gender equality for men? I mean if you play as zane you not part of the main group because your character has no development or screentime in cutscenes. I hope borderlands 4 has both men and women in it as important characters.

Even the main villain is a woman!

were the following characters invisible to you?

Rhys
Vaughn
Typhon
Hammerlock
Wainwright
Zero
Troy
Katagawa

i think many players are stuck with the impression that there were too many women because of the overwhelming number of female characters on Sanctuary 3, for some reason, the men were scattered to different planets, while most of the female characters ended up on Sanctuary 3 (and all at the same time too)

and because Sanctuary 3 is the main hub, we keep revisiting it over and over and over, so we keep seeing all the women there (the 4 you mentioned, plus Ellie and Moxxie are there too), meanwhile, the only male characters on Sanctuary 3 are Marcus, Zero and Crazy Earl, and 2 of those 3 are hidden away in quiet corners of the ship)

it's not that there were less male characters, but they did get less screen time and attention compared to the females overall (with the exception of hammerlock and wainwright, they got more attention than anything else in BL3)

as far as i can recall, hammerlock and wainwright kissing is the only kiss i've ever seen in any BL game, right? plus they got their own DLC ontop of their own story arc in the base game

All are secondary characters. Troy Secondary villian.

so? women aren't equally distributed among the entire industry. so, one game has 4 women and no male leads. hiw many games have multiple male leads and no women? i don't see you going in those forums crying out for equality

Nice whataboutism. What other games do is irrelevant. Even more so as you are just wrong.

if you want to cry about equality, you have to cry about it equally.
and yeah, you're assuming my gender.
now you're gonna rail on about the woke agenda and their nefarious plan to groom all the children next, right?

Nothing wrong with that imo, at least Hammerlock and Wainwright were strong characters unlike Vaughn and Rhys who developed confidence and became leaders in Tales from the Borderlands only to become naked idiot psycho and an insecure man child in BL3. Katagawa was probably the closest we got besides Marcus who might as well not have even been in the game or Troy who got side lined as soon as he actually started getting some development.

legit worse character case after playing was tannis 1000000% worse character to make a main character and not keep a side character.

[Icedfate]

i won't deny it. I certainly see the bias. especially in the Killavolt quest.
honestly, i'm more annoyed that someone took my screenname (both of the names i use and i have never seen that happen before) in the multiplayer screennames that it prompted me when i first started playing.

[Bankai9212]

? what was bias in killavolts quests? Anyway the biggest issue isn't gender its the poor character writing and rework of existing characters.

[AdolfsF0reSkeen]

lets look at things without bias here. Possibly the worst borderlands story OF ALL the titles including the tell tale games (IMO). The virtue signaling is painfully bad, even if your schilling about equality for women "so what if its one game with all women leads". This is a dense statement propelling the sentiment that the story was awful because the women telling the story are trying to signal feminism so hard instead of pushing a story driven narrative. You can whine and moan and talk about the other male characters which 1/4th of are gay or binary anyway so really....pushing this garbage instead of writing a good story has been the utter downfall of this game and franchise.

Seriously? The issue is the game pushing Ava as a lead despite not doing anything to deserve/earn it. Whether it’s male or female everyone is written to be stupid.

You take that back! Tales from the Borderlands was a great story, the new one on the other hand... Let's just pretend it doesn't exist.
