games, sexism, racism 

I reiterate that the thing I don’t get about this whole white male video game protagonist whatever, is that I’d figure a batch of nominally straight dudes would be less into “the protagonist looks like me” and more into “I could watch imaginary hot chicks.”

I honestly think player association is sort of a flimsy excuse. Afaik very few gamers are aliens, mustachioed plumbers, or bald goateed badasses. So why NOT have protagonists who aren’t white dudes? Hard to buy that one.
