On the contrary; people jump to conclusions that people are exaggerating/lying/trolling and give derogatory labels when someone states dislike or disagreement with something they like or think to be contrary and jump on the defensive way too much!Originally Posted by Khalin
I think the only people who whine about this are people that are opposed to protagonists that show any personality of any kind. The description you gave sounds so exaggerated that it's almost sickening. People hate on things way too much, and they will exaggerate things to no end to try and get their point across [almost the form of a straw-man argument].
You're missing the point. It's not about having a protagonist with a fleshed out personality, it's about completely taking a character out of their context that fans have developed a love for and turning it into something it never was. This is why I hate Devil May Cry 2.
I will remind you that I've read that, it's not something I'm stating, nor do I personally have anything against a protagonist with a worthy back story and strong persona; in fact, it's what I prefer and want when I play a game.
But if it's true, and Samus is walking around in cutscenes showing off her ass and showing subservience to some dude (on noes, I have all my weapons at my disposal, but I'm not going to use them until he tells me it's okay!)...well, that just smurfing sucks.
