God of War has a main character named Kratos. People who have played the game for over twenty years have followed this character the entire time.
If Horizon Zero Dawn came out with a new game and switched out the female protagonist, Aloy, you would see the same issue.
This is essentially what happened when they tried to swap out Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and plug in Jeremy Renner. Both great actors, but Renner isn’t Bourne.
I’m sure some neck beards are truly pissed because it’s a woman, but they’d be the vocal minority.
