Women's IssuesThis just makes me sad more than anything else. Imagine being so hurt that you end up transitioning because "girls can't like cool things"

Samus is one of the most hardcore video game protags ever!

An intergalactic bounty hunter who slaughters space pirates wholesale with a fucking beam cannon that's strapped to her arm. I'd be shocked if anyone, regardless of sex, didn't feel empowered while playing a metroid game.

It's not even samus either. There are so many female protags that are just amazing. Zelda, bayonetta, jill valentine, pretty much every soul calibur character, orchid (killer instinct), terra (ff6), sonya blade, 2B, A2, paula (earthbound), rydia (ff4), tifa (ff7). Katt, Nina and Bleu were the best characters in breath of fire 2. And that's just off the top of my head. Even princess peach stomped some serious ass in super mario rpg.

Stop caring about the sex of the character and just love them for who they are. Fucks sake.

Edit: almost forgot marle and lucca from chrono trigger. Holy shit they had some of my favorite double and triple techs.

    Samus has been my go-to example of a female protagonist for a long time.

    When that whole gamergate bs happened suddenly every hyperbolic SJW from Tumblr was an armchair expert on video games and it was like one after the other claiming there were no female heroes in video games.

    So i would just respond with "Samus". It seemed like they were confused because it wasn't a barbie looking ass hero.
