Why are women warriors so prevalent in fantasy literature and RPG videogames?

Diversity is shoved down our throats are diverstie's sake. Dungeons & Dragons (a roleplaying game) have recently started ret-conning major lore characters to be black or Asian, male gods of the setting that were created in the early 70's are now randomly female/herm instead of male. On the D&D subreddit (and in groups around the world) there's a talks about encouraging male players to play female character more often. RPGfags are major advocates of diversity, there are practically no 'redpilled' RPG players out there. In all RPG games, women are just as strong as men which is unrealistic.

Let's be real back in medieval days the vast majority of women were whores, peasant wifes, nuturing mothers or passive virgin princesses.

the same reason magical spells and monsters exist, it's fantasy.

The today Nu-male are the heir of the Nerds of the past decades. People that fell (like many intellectuals before) that women can be interesting like men, so in good faith they created the women of their dream, a strong bro, with tits and beauty, the waifu before the waifu.

Probably because it is fantasy and doesn't work irl.

Because horny virgin nerds want to fuck them, retard. It's for the porn.

The affirmative action shit is a different beast, and that's due to faggotry due to the fans of the garbage.

Because no one actually wants to be a guy the only reason fighters weren't women in real life is just because women are so much weaker. A video game is fantasy and should let people do impossible things they want, like magic and being a pretty girl.

Because theyre cute

Pfft because I like looking at booty

Because diversity already existed before they made it a thing. There was never a time when diversity didn't exist. Even the Rat Pack from the 1950's had black guy.

The problem was that in the past, the black guy always acted like the black guy, or the girl always acted like a girl. The new thing is just ret-conning and recasting white males as female and "people of colour", but it doesn't really work because it makes the work unnatural.

Because it's a fat geek's wank fantasy.

>encouraging male players to play female character
Damn that must be cringy.

>Because no one actually wants to be a guy
Speak for yourself, you utter fag.

A dominant woman is a common male sexual fantasy.

mmos are great as a woman character. you get to see your champ's ass improve with time. every raid you conquer makes your champ's ass that much better

if it wasn't true you would have ignored my post. The fact that you're getting so mad over it shows something.

> what is fantasy

You know that's how a lot of guys slowly turned transgender. They started playing as female characters in MMOs because they loved the attention and being treated differently. Then they started pretending to be a girl in chat. Then they started voice training or got a voice changer program. Sometimes it was just to get free shit out of lonely losers but they still got used to pretending to be a girl. In some cases they were lonely themselves and eventually they're in a situation where all of their online friends thing they're a girl and they don't know what to do. It's fucked up.

Well originally it was because men like to look at sexy warrior women.

If that’s the argument, why not have young children fighting as equals alongside the grown-ups? Why not have babies out there?

I’m being serious.

they aren't a normal trope in pre-modern literature. They are a big thing in modern fantasy/literature because sex and love have become inseperable in the intellectual framework.You used to have a lot of deep bromances. Now that would be considered gay, so you have to invent a bro with a pucci. That bro with a pucci is the woman warrior.

what armor set?

Changing characters to force a diversity quota is a fucking disgrace. That said, I do find it slightly retarded when theres a female playing a VERY unrealistic role.
For example, in the Dragon Age games, you can have scrawny little elf bitches be tank warriors that are just as good an Kunari tanks. Just in case you dont know, Kunaris as a race look like The Mountain from GoT body wise. Completely retarded.
With that said, keyword is ''fantasy'' so, meh....

Sex appeal or appealing to women to buy the game to pretend to be a warrior.

It's all for sales.

You must go back to neog....

Because the system is gynocentric and wants to keep up the illusion, that women are usefull, covering up the fact, that they are completely useless, lazy parasites and a massive massive burden on society.

Idk the name it was the one you got from the flat top in season 2 I stopped playing after the first x-pac came out because it felt like pvp became pay to win

Introduction of female characters in video games, which was predominantly a male-oriented community, and the rise of transgenderism... (((coincidence)))?

I like looking at women.

>playing anything that isn't runescape
fag

Because women can only be that powerful in fantasy.
Also I couldn't possibly be immersed in D&D as a woman.

Anime...Harry Potter... Narnia... that's pretty standard in fantasy. The baby in twilight actually kills someone I think?

I don't even count women in ''Diversity''. They have always been there in games what are you talking about?

Why haven't you transitioned yet? Women are inherently valuable and have it easy. Just remember to dilate your flesh wound for an hour a day.

I wonder if OP is gay and didn't realize this was a thing.

Cute girls having cute adventures is better than not-cute not-girls having not-cute adventures. Seems pretty obvious to me.

joan of arc was a real woman.

>Offended by our beloved and true king saber-chan

Because it allows game devs to include fap-bait characters while also pleasing the feminists.

I wish I was on my other device where I have the VA user green text where he pretends to be a girl abused by her brother for free stuff online

Because halflings are legal

>playing as a roastie in games
Why do beta faggots do this?

That's because the 400 lb hacker is fapping to digital ass running around in front of him.
>See: Tomb Raider for original PlayStation.

The obvious answer.

OP clearly doesnt know what waifu bait is.

The most redpilled path is to play a female but rp it as a male

>there are practically no 'redpilled' RPG players out there.
Holy shit find a better group to play with.
>tfw Camp for backstory
>Nazi-LordofFlies-Sparta
>undead bioweapons
>Death Star sized vampire psychic cheese-graters for harvesting pain
>slaves, slaves, slaves
And that's just the neutral-good players.

Don't be an asshole I take girl hormones but I still like being a boy.

Early fantasy wasn't. Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, and Warhammer didn't have this problem. NES rpgs like the first Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior didn't have this problem.
In the 80s and 90s they started adding girl caster characters and romance subplots.
Everything went to shit when Gen-X started gaining creative control. Vampire the Masquerade. 3E D&D. World of Warcraft. They pushed feminism into gaming.

Then stop taking girl hormones or you'll turn into a freak

>a roastie
I don't think many games let you play as that. You just play as a woman.

No I've been on them a couple years I really like them.

Go post this in /tg/ you absoute wanker.

Anything that comes out of Japan is fine since the Jews fear the samurai
>Warcraft
I don't really notice any feministy elements
>inb4 Female protagonists
Oh no literally the apocalypse. Don't go showing your virginal power level

>now posting based old-school fantasy art

>WOMEN SHOULD EXIST FOR NOTHING BUT SUCKING COCK WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO ACT LIKE THEY HAVE FREE WILL OR SOMETHING KILL ALL WOMEN REEEEEE

>where are the tradwives waiting for me?fucking jews!

>implying sammy davis jr was black.

>3E D&D
Garbage. 2.5E 4eva.

desu i only play a female in games because if im gonna be staring at the backside of a character for hours on end i want that ass to be fine as fuck

qt girls make vidya better

Wrong. Boys dressed like girls make games better

>of course it's a fucking leaf
WoW's lore was created while they were still ripping off warhammer, so it's only marginally cucked. Most of protagonists are Male for that reason. They have the females as love interests.

>Americlap has no argument beside "a fucking leaf"
Are you sitting their, in the largest chair, clapping your fat puffy hands at you supposed insult?
Maiev best girl

this is the most pathetic board on this website

I'm partial to B/X but everything before 3E is somewhat compatible and playable.
Like every other typical OSR grognard I created my own retroclone that improves the game in the way I like.

How does it feel to be a massive faggot

You're the one posting anime reactions on Sup Forums you unbelievable fucktard.

I think people are confusing when japan does it which is obviously just an excuse to add sex appeal, and when the west does it in shit like dragon age and game of thrones which is feminist agenda pushing.

Men are so at home and okay with the evils of the world while standing up to end the injustice that in our fiction we wish women carried even 0.01% of that feeling, so we inject it into them hoping some female reader/viewer out there will finally realize the massive amount of burden we carry, but that we carry it with grace and dignity. To do otherwise is just a foreign concept that doesn't sustain itself in the face of a man.

Women wouldn't/couldn't understand it, but that is the real reason we do it. Or did it. Now every field we tried to enlighten the world with has been taken over by the women we tried to show the light of civilization. Its all ruined now.

You tell me, I'm just a cute little gay

Anima figure. For many men their subconscious idealized self... is female.

I mean, think about it-- people who like fantasy RPGs aren't exactly the most masculine people out there. It's not a matter of inherent hatred for manliness but simply never really identifying with masculinity other than "well I have a dick and like girls I GUESS."

They have never gotten any recognition for physical feats, they don't play sports, they probably didn't engage in horseplay very much as children, so they are a little sensorily impaired. They tend to be very intellectualized, and care little for their physical bodies, spending most of their time far away in a floaty state of foggy consciousness. The only kind of bodies they value are the ones they're sexually attracted to-- so, they gravitate towards rolling female characters whenever there's a choice to be made.

I'd say go back to neogaf but ya. Just go.

Men like women and fighting. So, warrior women. Not exactly a new concept and not really the result of diversity propaganda.
However, it used to be a given that a warrior woman would be surprising, or that a black/asian guy would be some kind of exotic foreigner from a far-off land traveling for some reason. It's more often being treated as normal nowadays, I think.

Just end it already

>Why are women warriors so prevalent in fantasy literature and RPG videogames?
because of my dick

No I don't wanna die

Artist's representation of a STRONK WARRIOR GRRRL about 5 minutes into attempting to larp as a man.

>F-feminism halp me!

I have never heard about a man playing female character in D&D when TSR still owned it. Nerds were sexist as fuck. Always wanted to rape the wenches. There were fucking charts for that shit.

people like strong mommies

>If that’s the argument, why not have young children fighting as equals alongside the grown-ups?
What is anime?

I don't think that's all there is to it. So many dudes choose female avatars on social networks, and female characters in video games. They're choosing a female image to REPRESENT THEMSELVES.

Think about what that means.

I'm not saying it's faggy or that you should stop or anything, it's just something that bears closer examination.

More like dominating a dominant woman is a male fantasy

Because babies don't buy videos games and they're not old enough to be brainwashed by the SJW bullshit

>Y r unrealisyic things so prevalent in fantasy?

...

The child is another representation of aspects of the viewer's subconscious that they can project onto. It is very useful for dramatic effect-- it heightens the contrast with things like cruelty and violence to have an innocent kid fighting it (or embodying it).

>They're choosing a female image to REPRESENT THEMSELVES.

not really. do people that make characters like this feel want to look like this?

post more blubbery fantasy asses pls

This one is solid

No, and people who make waifus don't want to look like a girl either. It's just something that resonates with them psychologically.

People who make Shreks generally want to identify themselves with something funny and outrageous-- a trickster.

Nerds used to be horndogs.

You just got baited fuckboi

The classic

A least they don't physically want to look like a girl... Usually.

protip: who you "portray" yourself as to literal strangers in no way represents yourself.
People who know who they are have zero problem purposefully portraying a persona that is not themselves. Only people who value who they are as a reflection of who others see them as would care.
You don't care do you user?

I make waifus in video games as the ideal representation as the girl I'd want to date. Its something to tug at my heart whenever I'm bored and pan around my character.

Nerd culture used to be full of misogyny.

The point isn't necessarily to impress other people (though I've known straight guys who would go all out roleplaying as a cute girl. It was uh... distressing DESU.)

The point is to explore a facet of their consciousness outside of their identity.

Lots of them do that kind of thing even in offline games.

>t. female avatar user
>Bet he doesn't even RP
Any real man only plays orc blade masters

In modern times it's because it's just an accepted thing. The designers are so brainwashed that the thought of a woman being a vaguely competent physical fighter is no longer ludicrous to them (even though it 100% is).

Back in the day it was due to the sexual deviancy of the men designing the game, a 'warrior woman' covers a large number of fetishes:
1. Tomboys
2. Sexy musclegirls
3. Women fighting
4. Dominating strong women
and finally

5. Guro/Snuff.
The one all the other's want to ignore, but one that intrinsically cannot be escaped since by their very nature warriors are risking gruesome, painful, ugly deaths.
It's amazing the number of people who will be all-for strong warrior women wherever they can be shoehorned, yet will recoil in disgust and horror at the thought of women suffering the same bloody, ignoble deaths as the legions of nice disposable male grunts they'll happily brutalise.

The same thing is happening in real life now for fuck's sake. With women being forced into combat roles. All they talk about it 'strong' women passing the tests and showing how "grrrr warrior" they are. Does anyone give a passing thought to how the nation will react when Al-Jazeera shows footage of half a dozen infantrywomen being blown into mangled chunks of guts and womb by an IED?
For better or worse, EVERYONE cares much more about women being hurt than men. Always have, always will. This makes placing them in extreme danger a retarded move from a morale perspective.

there is no facet of your consciousness outside of your identity is what I was going for.

Congratulations. You found your anima.
