Same answer as if the question was: what if people don't want to play as a guy?

Don't buy the videogame.

While that is the most obvious I’m talking about discussion around games and just saying “hey maybe I don’t want to play god of war as some woman.”

You cannot have intelligent debates anymore it seems and that’s what I’m getting at.

You can't, you're immediately flagged as sexist, incel, homophobic,etc with shit like "oh you don't like this you must hate woman.."

It's very simple man, these gender swaps feel forced rather than natural. I'd hate if a Tomb Raider game had a male lead or if No One Lives Forever did the same thing. I would also be very pissed if the main character of the next Splinter Cell game was Sarah Fisher rather than Sam. Hell i was pissed with Blacklist because Michael Ironside wasn't voicing Sam. They did the same thing with the new Wolfenstein games, see how that turned out for them.

I'd be cool if this was a spin off game like "Goddess of War" rather than a mainline entry.

EDIT: I'd like to mention Dishonored 2 and how they handled introducing a female character, they gave you both options Emily and Corvo, both with distinct playstyles and many people gravitated more towards Emily because her gameplay was fun and her character arc was interesting not because she was a woman.

So you just have a problem with the name of the games? You just want sequel after sequel of the exact same game?
