"Huh, this game looks like it could be interesting. There's no mention of who the PC is... can I play as a woman?" (from discussion forum about character customization) "Only thing that wouldn't make sense is playing as a girl." "Okay, nevermind. Goodbye."

I think players being toxic about the concept of women in their game has actually turned me away from a number of games that I had been considering. I know I've deleted several entries from my Steam wishlist based on how fans explain why there's no female character in "self-insert" games.

"Girls are inherently weaker fighters in the wuxia world, so it wouldn't make sense to play as one." Okay, then why are all the companion characters female? (Based on a true experience that made me decide to not buy a game.)
