Depictions of Women in Gaming (and other related issues)
#93
I'm not saying Peach should change. I'm saying there should be more of an option. If you look at Mario Golf (NGC) for example you have a varied male cast, DK, Mario, Wario, Bowser - all different shapes and sizes with little personality traits. On the female side you have, well - not much to choose from.

It's the same idea that countless others here have said, you can have the stereotypes - but balance it out. The only none Princess playable Mario character in recent memory is the big bee in Mario Kart 7. And she's still a queen (but yes, also a bee - and bees are awesome).

I'm not asking for a stereotypical 'strong' female character. I'm asking for just a normal playable female. Or at least someone who isn't 'just another princess'.

(I am aware Daisy is often 'made' into a Tomboy by fans but looking at the games, well there's really nothing to support this).
