Watching Silksong edits at 2AM reminded me why I made my very first video about the problem with female characters in modern games. Because somehow… a tiny indie bug girl is getting more love than most recent AAA heroines combined 🤔
Cosplays, fan art, entire fandoms…she’s everywhere. And honestly? It’s not hard to see why.
So today, we’re circling back to where it all began: the infamous “strong female lead” blueprint - why it still doesn’t work, and why so many studios keep getting it wrong.
💬 Who’s the first female character that made you go, “I would die for her”?
🙋♀️ I’ll go first… Saria from OoT.
