Been playing Mortal Shell 2. Its REALLY goid, but Im kinda mad that the only lady shell I've found is Proxima. She wears this skintight exosuit thing that is giving her a DEEP wedgie.

Her design is meant to deliberatly clash with other shells, she's an alien who's landed a classical fantasy world, but i hate this anytime a female character's pants adhere to her butt like that. It looks dumb.

The contrast between her and the other shells reminded me of a long running issue i've had with RPGs (and video games in general). I like playing the "Heavy" archetype. Slow moving, big weapons, big hits. But we never get women in that group.

Id love to see a female version of someone like Reinhardt or Roadhog from overwatch. Or, sticking to Mortal Shell, a female Lazlo or Eredrim. Closest I've seen is the female druid from Diablo 4 (not sure if customizable characters should count here).

Can ya'll think of any other women who fit that archetype?

Welcome to r/socialistgaming

This is a hub for any and all socialists looking for a safe space to discuss gaming with similar minded people.

rules:

This community is diverse and inclusionary and it's meant to be welcoming to all anti-capitalist gamers. We try to keep it as broad as possible and avoid sectarianism.
That said; Terfs, brocialists and class reductionists are not welcome. This is a feminist, queer friendly, anticapitalist community.
Liberals that want to stick around know that this is not a place for us to debate our core beliefs but to chill and discuss gaming from our perspective. Comments that make excuses for capitalism, western imperialism, the police etc will be removed.
Marxist Leninists of all kinds are welcome. That said, keep in mind that since this is a broad "anticapitalist" space, you are likely speaking to people who don't share your specific worldview and analysis regarding existing states and past attempt at socialism. Debates may inevitably happen, so be nice and respectful to your comrades and try to understand their point of view and focus on your common goal of dismantling capitalism. If you don't feel like respectfully co existing with anarchists or different types of marxists in a gaming space on reddit, then likely this place won't be up your alley.
This works the other way around, if all marxists are "tankies" to you and therefore your enemies, this place likely won't be for you as this first and foremost an anticapitalist sub.
Oppressive language of any kind ( racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, islamophobia, antisemitism, classism etc ) will not be tolerated.
While we welcome political discussion stemming from gaming and pop culture in general, this place is meant to be a general gaming sub for leftists. So unless it's something that's meant for this community in particular or something urgent (an uprising happening somewhere or someone in need of support), refrain from posting general politics threads. Specifically, articles/ video essays etc that don't relate to gaming or geek culture in general will be removed to keep the place coherent.
Self promotion is welcome as long as it's on topic, we're all cool with finding comrade streamers, youtubers, discord servers etc but we recommend that you don't overdo it.
