The best explanation of female roles in games I've ever seen

[Angrist]

Hm I'm not convinced yet. Maybe it went too fast without good examples.

Lots of people just can't stand using female characters in video games. I've heard lots of people talk crap about Bayonneta and have a friend who doesn't like women being displayed as independent and confident in games or movies. Some times I think the only reason Samus can get away with it is because people can "forget" that it's a woman under that suit. Until this mentality changes, we can have the greatest female characters ever and they're still not going to get recognition.
