Guild Wars 2

What’s the difference besides the image?

Like I said before, most media just refuses to have female goons for the heroes to take down. It feels weird because it looks like the heroes are the only ones who are equal opportunity employers or something. As for the image, it just helps the world feel more alive to see that kind of variety in the enemies. Similar to how in Pacific Rim having all those extra’s of different races and genders in the background just helps make the world more realistic.

One thing that’s always bugged me in a lot of media is the fact that we don’t see a lot of female goons or henchmen unless the hero is a girl or the creators are going for some kind of Amazon warrior thing. That’s why I really like the fact that a lot of the enemies in Guild Wars 2 across four of the five races have women fighting alongside the men. The only exception to this is The Flame Legion, but that makes sense in universe as the Flame Legion are pretty much the MRA’s of Tyria. I know this is a weird thing to get excited about, but it I feel that it just helps considering American society is so terrified of seeing women get hurt in any way.
