Makes me Cringe

I don't know what it is but it's always a red flag to me when people have their game categorized as "Female Protagonist". Like why is that necessary? Do we need a genre for Animal Protagonists, Ghosts and whatever it might be you're playing with in the game. And most importantly why isn't there a category of "male protagonists". It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. Feminists are stupid. This whole idea that we have to point out females in the video-game industry is stupid.

I'm not attacking this game here per say but It just got my attention and now I am expressing my freedom of speech out of frustration. I don't often understand the human mind.

These aren't categories, these are tags.
Yes developers can choose tags they want to use for their game in the first place (so the developers of this game might have done that), but later Steam users can give games tags. And after enough users have given a game a specific tag, it will be shown on the store page.

And this tag "female protagonist" has been created/made common by the Steam community so there is seemingly demand for that information, if you like it or not.

Well sir, I don't like it. It's simply stupid. It's literally the opposite of everyone whining about equality and all that jazz. You don't see these tags for anything or anyone else. There must be demand for it when all the 12 year old virgins want to see a fine pair of video-game breasts.

I think it's rather that females search for female protagonists, but all in all blame society (or at least the Steam community).

Yes. We need tags for every information that might be useful in describing the game, so... yes. Where's the problem?

You're completely missing the point. There's the issue, people don't describe every aspect of the game in tags. Only women. Because, why exactly? I haven't seen a male protagonist tag. It only works for the female things, because feminism if fockin' ghay. What relevance does gender have is what I'm wondering?

Because that's the default. The "female protagonist" tag exists because it's not the norm. There's no need to tag "male protagonist" because that's what's expected in a game.

I don't expect anything. I've never been surprised, not even once whenever there was a female protagonist. Sure I can agree that most games star a male protagonist but it's not the default. There is no default, games use whatever creature they find fitting. So stop spouting out nonsense.

No, this is totally the place to rave about how much you hate the user-applied female protagonist tag that has nothing to do with this game in particular, and generally to insult anyone posting in your thread.

Steam general discussions are that way ->

I'm glad you agree with me, I thought this was the perfect place for such a discussion as well!

Pretty sure you're deliberately missing the point in order to be upset.

You know, what really grinds my gears? The name of this game. Seriously? A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bear pun? Did they actually thing that was a good idea? Or were they THAT desperate?

Talk about gears. Gears of War is a fantastic game, go buy that.
