Let me preface this post and say I'm not looking for attention and I'm not a feminist (I'm a male) by any means.
Clearly the females in our community feel inferior to blow the whistle on this topic, and I don't blame them for the unnecessary backlash they'd receive. Well, I'm not a female; I'm a guardian. I will NOT tolerate any sexist remarks so if you're here just to troll: get lost.
In Destiny, of course you make "create" a female character, but other than the quirky dance moves can you REALLY differentiate a male and female guardian in the heat of battle? No.. Of course not. And this is what's wrong with the game.
Why is EVERY Guardians "kill" inherently phallic and misogynystic? Why aren't there any weapons, special powers, or grenades that represent the woman? It doesn't have to be glitter, cupcakes and ponies, but something as simple as a pink aura during a female Titan slam would be pretty bad ass.
Before you guys get all creepy and pervy, just think about our fellow lady gamer's rights.

4 RepliesMeh. I understand where you're coming from, but nah. As a female, I'm glad for the gender anonymity granted to me by the physical appearance of my guardian. For those females who want a gendered appearance, I think it'd be a cool option to have, but existing in the pink vs blue binary is a bit narrow minded.
