seriously. like, i really don't don the feminist glasses when i view all media otherwise i'd hate a lot of stuff...like I love South Park and GoT and stuff that is clearly not always woman friendly but something about this was just REALLY unsettling to me
yeah see I don't care if i play a male or female character, like i referenced a blog post someone wrote where they were really upset they couldn't make a female character for the South Park game because that -totally- would not have made sense either to the game or even the South Park universe

Its likely. There are going to be moments in any fiction that are more traumatic for a women than it is or at least not as much for a man due to the perception of our genders and our life experiences due to our gender. To be fair very little people liked Connor, the main character, from Assassin's Creed 3.
I remembered this post but waited until I finished the game to read it. It was not what I'd been expecting because my interpretation was pretty cynical from the start. Here's this woman who supposedly is hella powerful, except that she looks like a Disney princess and gasps and hides in the corner during moments of conflict. Except that we also know that she's experienced many traumatizing events and has been distant from humanity for most of her life. She learns that someone is kidnapping her for money and decides that instead of throwing him into another dimension she will toss him any money and ammunition that she finds and put her life in his hands. To me, it seemed like "stand by your man, even if your man has demonstrated that he has questionable ethics and you know almost nothing about him". I have yet to see a game where your lone male comrade cowers in corners and quietly watches people shoot at you...
I didn't even want the DLC cuz I was annoyed. I will say that the art is beautiful, gameplay is fun, and there's a lot of

To clear one thing up: The Booker you play as in episode 1 is actually an escaped Comstock who fled to Rapture after his failed kidnapping of Anna and reverted back to being called Booker.
I agree with you for the most part on Elizabeth's treatment in Burial at Sea. While I do think there were some good character moments with her in episode 2, its hard not to raise an eyebrow with how she is treated. I also don't buy that Elizabeth will use a child as bait in order to taunt and kill Comstock.Her death was needlessly grim, which was followed after a trans orbital lobotomy, and she ultimately dies for the benefit of Bioshock 1s' story, a story i completed back in 2007 that had nothing to do with Elizabeth or anything mentioned in Burial at Sea. Elizabeth deserved better or at least a death that was fulfilling to her story and not a contrived, unconvincing way to tie Infinite in with Bioshock 1.
I still love the bioshock series, Infinite being my favorite, but Burial at Sea will always be seen to me as the black sheep of the
