My weapon of choice.

That in and of itself isn't a bad thing. It just means she isn't a Strong Female Character because she isn't a character, she's a scantily clad mascot for the player's actual avatar (the armor) during moments of success or failure. In games like Prime, where she's never flaunted whatsoever, there's no sexism, and that's fine, but you can't call it some triumph for feminism because her being female is irrelevant and barely shown. I don't mind her being a female Doomguy, and I wish she was more often, but that's not a feminist thing, that's a neutral thing.

Isn't that the fundamental success of feminism? Gender being completely irrelevant because men and woman are equal? The fact that she is a female and it doesn't matter in the slightest, I would argue, makes her a very strong female character.

Now come here and get your own Ditty (or thing)!!! Bad clip art included!!!
