The DeanBeat: Favorite female game characters that aren’t an embarrassment

Here’s a thought for the hardcore male gamers who might be offended by all of the attention from “social justice warriors” who are trying to make the game business more accepting of women. Some of the best games being created today have great female characters. In fact, some of those games are great because they have the female characters. I am pleased to say that if you wake up and look around, some of the best games being made today feature women.

We’re not talking about equal representation. Gun-toting beefy dudes, like the profoundly offensive Duke Nukem, still have the raw number advantage when it comes to video game characters, and there are a whole lot of women being victimized in graphically violent ways.
