The problem is when the strong independent woman becomes a requirement for a story

funny how a strong independent man is literally a requirement for every story, huh?

pandering for the sake of pandering

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What?
Who says that?

What writers are doing is writing a strong human being, not writing some sexist statement to women

You're literally saying "he's male so that's sexist"

What? Literally every story has a strong protagonist who (usually) doesn't need to rely on others. It's an integral component to a good story, and no one has a problem with it when it's a dude. But you write in a strong female protagonist and all the redpillers come out of their caves and start bitching about SJWs.

You said a strong, independent woman shouldn't be a requirement for a story, but if your protagonist is a woman, it is a requirement. If your protagonist is a man, then a strong, independent man is a requirement.

No you dumbass

What writers are creating is a strong character in general
Gender has literally nothing to do with it

What people are complaining about is when a strong independent woman character becomes an obligation for any story shoehorned in by whiny feminists

Because then, being a woman becomes the defining trait of that character
No longer are we suppose to focus on her traits or background, we're supposed to focus on the fact that she's a woman

Even strong female leads get weak in the knees for Chad

Wasn't aware the number of people who actually believe that was big enough to actually care about.

one person actually believing that is big enough to actually care about

but the number is far larger than that

Since when do feminists have a say in which characters are made?

Game devs are business people. Their goal is to make money. That's it. When you see strong female protagonists, it's because they're opening up to a new market. That's it.

Lose your goddamn egos. You think they give two shits about you? LOL. Y'all seem to think that a cal from Ms Sarkeesian means a dev will suddenly toe the feminist line. Nope. It's a call from the marketing department. They say that females like to game too, and maybe the characters and stories shouldn't be so targeted at le young white male.

It isn't the vagina in their pants that's changing gaming, it's the money in their wallet.

Well umm. I don't think this way. So...

could someone please explain how minority characters are "pandering" but non-minority characters aren't

like why exactly do you think minorities were historically underrepresented

Also you do know no one gives a fuck what your opinion is.

That road runs both ways.
