There’s virtually no competitive video game where females are represented in the top teams. I don’t know why, but you can’t just brush over that.
Also, over the years I’ve seen posts of guys playing zelda by sound only, playing shooters with deformed hands, etc. And none of them were female. So it does actually add another element that she’s female, because I have never seen these kinds of posts about females.
Hope I’m not opening a can of hateful worms with some honest thought…
