Well for me, it doesn’t reinforce the patriarchy…or at least not any more than any other piece of art that focuses its story on a man. It’s fine. You are fine, my dude. And I 100% was not directing any flak your way. As I said, Hosted Games are Hosted Games.
But people on here are always crying out for games with different playthroughs based on gender choices especially because they believe this will result in “historical accuracy.”
And 
I gotta speak my unpopular opinion that women and other marginalized genders/voices generally want to feel like that’s the least interesting thing about them. Hence: games in which your gender does not impact your playthrough. Though I find it hilarious to note that people (cismen??? 
) freak the geek out when not presented with an actual gender *choice such as in Congresswolf or Undercover Agent.
