Playing Tribe Nine made me realize something....

The developers set the tone for the kind of players they want to attract. When a game has a balanced male-to-female ratio with no excessive sexualization of female characters, it fosters a healthy environment where everyone can thrive. Players pull for characters they genuinely like or find useful for their account, rather than basing decisions on gender alone. I hardly ever see comments putting down a character in Tribe Nine because of their gender—there’s no gender war whatsoever. And for once, I don’t feel guilty for pulling a female character that I like.

At the end of the day, we shouldn’t be angry at the waifu enjoyers who feel threatened by our request for more male characters (whether justly or unjustly so). It’s the developers who shape the game’s tone & environment, and to an extent, the kind of community they want to create.
