"As a huge fan of classic Lara Croft Eve from Stellar Blade Jill Valentine Claire Redfield 2B Nina Williams and the likes I dont think every video game character needs to be valued based on how attractive they are🚀 Its great to have male and female characters who are well-designed memorable and attractive but thats not the only way to write an interesting character. The target audience would be determined for the genres of their games and the type of stories they tell not how much the protagonist is your type🎤 What's the exact target audience for this https://t.co/aM5FRLktDl What's the exact"

"Wild how we were making progress and letting games be as free as movies and now we've regressed to "sex appeal is naughty and degrading." This is one of the reasons video games will never be taken as seriously as the other mediums of entertainment. This. Tomb Raider never was about the male fantasy its about Lara Croft and her stories.

If you disagree with Sophie you disagree with her. https://t.co/9RVEJtGxS8 This. Tomb Raider never was about the male fantasy its"
