Asshat Creed_

Still on the topic of female misrepresentation, I’d like to state my opinion on one of the most ridiculous things I've read about in the gaming world. 

A few months ago, I read about the reason why the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed 3 couldn't be a woman, and frankly, I think the reason is a load of crap.

Done with Barbie dolls_

First of all, sorry for the late post, procrastination life got in the way.

As I have previously stated, I love to play videogames for that sense of power and control on my decisions and paths that I don’t get to have many times in real life. And that’s why I love to pick female avatars: to feel that I, as a woman, can be hailed as the heroine and admired by all is self-empowering and elevates my self-esteem.

But, more often than not, I feel frustrated and insulted by the games I play, not from clear sexist remarks in-game, but from subtle messages that it transmits.
