tbh this is off topic but I really hate how a lot of games now from what I have seenhave been given shit just because they don't have a female character in them that you can play

Unless there's a legitimate reason for there not being a female character to play as, I don't see the problem with giving them shit.

yeah like if its a story that would fit a guy then make a guy the MC and vice versa

if either gender could fit the role then choose one of the two

You're delusional if you think swapping the main character in a game like AC takes a day or two.  Even if it was a simple copy and paste and the new skeleton is magically working out of the box for the thousands of animations in, that doesn't account for new facial animations (I mean, unless they want the woman to have the same build as Arno), reworking the microtransaction armor, a separate voice actor, etc...

It would've been great if the option was there, and I approve of games with those options, but the "game doesn't have X so the devs must be lazy" argument is ridiculously ignorant.  I'm not concerned about the gender politics of this at all, but rather the demand for a standard in which the main character is always customizable - even where it may not fit - or else the devs deserve shit.
