I can't say I'm surprised publishers might deny a game based on a female lead, especially one who is seen kissing another guy. I think it's kind of silly they would though. I think it's kind of a case of executives not really seeing things how gamers see them, cause all too often these people are not gamers themselves.

Yes, gaming is still mostly a male demographic, but we are not so shallow that we cannot handle playing a female role. Her kissing men would not be awkward. I'm sure someone out there would be bothered by it, but publishers need to be more willing to give trout like this a shot. Give these games that do come out with female leads the same kind of advertising (Well, assuming it's something they can afford). Not only will I think they will find we male gamers aren't all that bothered by it, but you can also help to let everyone know woman are in fact a viable market for games. Not all games need to have a testosterone filled focus, nor do they need a male lead for us guys to relate to it.
