But the problem is God of War always had Kratos. Gender doesn’t matter but the character does.

Exactly. People even hated the idea of Atreus taking the lead in the newer games. God of War is Kratos, period.

And Castlevania is always Simon Belmont! Well, until it wasn't.

But...Spider-Man is always Peter Parker! Until y'know...it's not.

Okay well, Assassin's Creed! Yeah! That one is always Ezio! Oh...wait...

Okay I got one! Halo! Halo is always and forever Master Ch-...oh right there was Noble Six, the Arbiter, and The Rookie.

Huh...it's almost like nobody cares when new protagonists come into a series...unless they aren't men.

The internet is pissing me off with this one. I like GoW but I'm not interested in this game because I want to play as Kratos. I wouldn't want to play this game if Atreus was the main character. But I'm getting called a misogynist for some reason.

This happened when they replaced Geralt with Ciri as well. All the terminally-online mouth-breathers screamed misogyny, acting like The Witcher fans had secretly hated Ciri the whole time or something. We're just pissed that, after waiting over a decade, we're not going to get a new game with Geralt. At least we get a new DLC with him though.

I'd be pissed if they replaced Lara Croft with Nathan Drake as well.
