This just in: we're being informed that even some of the male population aren't white, and therefore political 
A 2nd political has hit the WTC
feeeeeeeeeeeeemales 
hooman feeeemales! forced to wear clothing! the horror.
If a fictional character is a role model for you, you are 12 or younger.
current mood: "How do we even kill america's heroes, are we supposed to kill spiderman and spongebob?"
Bro if a crack team of ircg took out SpongeBob it would be over for the empire
Iranian officials after watching some SpongeBob for operational research "This shit slaps really hard. Call it off."
The real move is to get SpongeBob on your side. IRCH spokesman SpongeBob SquarePants would convince many
Someone can't be a role model bc they are a different sex than me is a dumb ass take
Growing up as a cishet guy I was both in love and idolized Lara Croft, complicated, but it's a thing.
SEXIST/RACIST MEME
I agree, what happened to this mentality?
Women hold up half the star war
Poor males, they have zero role models. 😞
Women do be female and doing things
I'm a male and I want some male role models too!
Maybe look for them somewhere other than Ubisoft's GTA Star Wars?

We also have like 30 years worth of Star Wars expanded lore that's male focused, just saying.

Be careful what you suggest - leave it up to these dorks and they'll idolize someone like Anakin or Syril Karn lmao

Given how most young groypers want to just kill women they probably cheer when he force chokes Padme in ROTS.
Karn is too obviously pathetic to idolize, although depending on how they work through the
plot line, he could the incel who made itspoiler

And 30 years of like 90% of video game protagonists being male
Like stfu dork
Why are they making all these authority figures female when they could've just added more hot Twilek slave girls instead????
Ah good old minority salience. The hilarious part of it is when women start joining a male-dominated group, the men feel threatened and leave, turning it into a women-majority group. Hopefully this is what happens to gamer culture. 
jawas pro[b]ably shouldn't have human gender at all, and i doubt they wrote anything interesting for an imperial pickme but the rest is just 
2/10 no hutts canonically changing sex to reproduce.
Jawas should have no concept of gender but 7 sexes, and their courtship rituals are mostly working out if their parts are compatible.
And "parts" also includes whatever salvage piles they have, to see if they can rig up a compete thingumabob.

he describes a droid as being female. can droids be female? isn't that like a biological designation, as opposed to gender / "woman" which has social characteristics.
I am legit asking because I don't know and am not trying to be glib or shitty.
Droids in Star Wars have gender, but you're right - they don't really have biological sex. Shitty Star Wars fans don't know how to distinguish a difference, though.
Robots ARE binary.
I'm a male and I want some male role models
Whatever happened to gary cooper. The strong silent type.
Imagine being this fuckin imbecile. How removed from any sort of reality does one have to be to say "Its becoming too much to consume my Disney slop no.1244236".
These people don't like games, they like being catered to.
Fuck off out of the medium forever, you won't be missed.
Is using "female" instead of "woman" (or similar) a dogwhistle now?
Has been for half a decade now, at least
We were making fun of misogynists for saying "females" instead of "women" on ShitRedditSays before gamergate even happened.
Yeah, unless you're talking in a clinical or scientific manner it's a red flag
Calling twitter "X" is another sign
I do find it funny when media unrealistically include women in patriarchal, misogynistic and almost exclusively male professions.
Like yeah, I’m sure these two young women, and a butch styled older woman, are experienced members of the SWAT team/spec ops unit and all their male colleagues treat them with respect. Usually it’s extremely propagandized, so the institutions aren’t even psychopathic and try to abuse anybody, otherwise they’d be truly inclusive and portray the female characters shooting prisoners and killing grandmas.

Cishet gamers be like "where are the MEN i want to look at BIG MUSCULAR DUDES why are there WOMEN in this game do they think im GAY?"
Man. I really just want a sausagefest of a movie.
I totally won't goon off to it or anything...
Incel brainrot is extremely frustrating, plus they feel like they are the victims.
plus they feel like they are the victims.
But they are, the victims of their own stupidity.
Princess Leia had a cock and balls.
Transvestigator but for fictional characters
Han has such trans guy rizz and never takes his shirt off to hide the top surgery scars

In another note: Replaying ME1 and the number of random NPC in the Citadel there are people of color fill me with joy.
The politics of Mass Effect is a real capitalist realism moment fully embedded in the real world political outlook of its time, but it's still a very fun setting.
If they really want to watch a bunch of male role models, and want to avoid "females", they should try watching Bara.
