Well you can argue with me vehemently about it, but I was just trying to make you at least think about it. It sounds like your mind is made up. You're the one that said you wouldn't play GTA if it had a female lead character.

But this one point I've quoted, I have to address. Stop playing the victim. Stop it. There are strong male rolls, there are fucking supermen out there. There are very few strong female roles and when there are, in games they are 36-6-36. Do not try to say that because men die in movies that it somehow might warp you into thinking you were fragile.

Although maybe you're right, maybe if you haven't seen so many die in movies and games you wouldn't think that women were out to ruin your video games.
