It's because it's becoming comically predictable now. It's now apparently a "bad thing" to have an actual feminine sexy female character who is more female than male. The women have to be tough, hard, and literally man-like. It is stupid and silly.
Just one example... Go watch the new Anthem gameplay reveal. During the leadup to the "strike" (don't remember what they are called in Anthem, too lazy to go look it up), listen the voice of the off-screen character. It's a female. Listen to the abyssal-deep bass depth of her voice. She is more manly (by far!) than the two male characters portrayed in the scene. Listen to how she (he) says "I like a challenge". She's a bass too!

Anyway, just sort of keep an eye (ear) out for this. Just listen to the female characters that are now the norm in video games. Listen to their manly man voices. It's hilarious.

I'm just trying to figure out why its bad to have tough women and less women trying to be sexy. In these games, destiny and anthem, heck even the division, the world isn't in a state to where it'd make sense to have females trying to be sexy vs tough and stoic, especially when survival is your main objective. Not only that, but not every women in destiny is "manly" or portrayed as such. Look at Petra, Mara, Lakshmi 2, Ikora, Amanda, Ana, and even Hawthorne. I don't get manly vibes from them, sure they arent giving sexy vibes aside from Mara Sov (wink) but they're more tough than anything and being tough isn't exclusive to being "manly". Also i don't really see too much of a issue with the voice in Anthem. It's not like there aren't any women IRL they dont have deep but not exactly manly voices. Not to mention in the same video there's a girl with a not as deep voice.

Edited by Grizats: 7/12/2018 11:22:32 AMI'm merely pointing out a pattern. An unrealistic one. Not every woman has to be the equivalent of Ronda Rousey... in space. You know what would be amazing... for a woman character in destiny to actually be drop-dead sexy AF. How cool would that be. It's bizarre to me, but such a thing seems to be viewed as "bad" for some odd reason. It's hard to even imagine that Bungie would ever do such a thing. I don't know. It's just a trend I see more and more. Women can't just be women anymore. It's like every character designer feels like it's their mission to make women be more like men, and I just don't get it. On a side note... Yesterday I watched the new animated video for Hearthstone (https://youtu.be/HxeAZQ6TeKM) and took notice of "Stargazer Luna", a female Draenei character that's in the game's new card set. The original Draenei female characters in WoW were demure, sexy and cool, oozing with sensuality. And it didn't just appeal to men either. Just look at all the sexy Draenei cosplay outfits of the past decade and you'll see what I'm talking about. A lot of girls really dig these sexy Draenei characters (and I thank them for that!). But this new character in Hearthstone... well, let's just say she's been eating too many mana pies. This new Draenei is overweight (i.e. "body positive") and puritanically dressed, literally from the neck all the way down to the ankles. And on top of that, the character is kind of "ugly". WTF right? Who designs these things and thinks that this is what escapist sci-fi/fantasy world building should look like?

Edited by Combo164: 7/12/2018 11:49:14 AMMy guess for the change is due to how many women in games have been overly sexualized. From dead or alive and their amazing boob physice, mortal kombat, 90% of mmos with their style when it comes to female armor, gta and my favorite metro last light when a badass female turns into the "oh help me main protag. Thanks for saving me now make babies with me for now i just wanna have a kid instead of fighting". I'd guess that they wanted a change away from the traditional stuff i listed. Not to mention it's rated T and as i said with the world the games takes place in, it'd be kinda out of place imo. Now most I could imagine is one of the awokens being a deadly femme fatale or something. But then it'd be weird seeing them trying to seduce the enemies we have in this game.
