How many video game player characters are stubbly brown haired white men in their thirties with a dead family member

Hey, let’s not be uncharitable. Your average video game protagonist is a lot more nuanced than you’re making him out to be. He also has:

  • anger management problems stemming from ambivalence toward an absent father figure
  • unexamined misogyny that manifests as an overbearing and paternalistic protectiveness toward women
  • an attitude of comical bafflement toward any item of technology that’s not a weapon or a motor vehicle
  • a complete inability to emotionally engage with anything
