I don't think it's unfair to point out that there's basically no women in the game. Carl Zha is full of shit saying that there are a lot in Chapter 2 onwards lol.

This is entirely fair when you consider the show that is responsible for this being such a hugely popular story does have a lot of women in it.

This doesn't make it a bad game. It is a good game, I have enjoyed it. But it is definitely odd having literally no women and questioning that shouldn't generate entire videos complaining about people mentioning it.

I do agree. I posted this for discussion. I don't necessarily agree with the video and just learned about the chuddiness about the channel afterwards. I believe I came across this channel from Hexbear or Lemmygrad to begin with, so I subscribed and didn't know about its sketchiness until now.

I do find it odd to not include women in the game until after an entire chapter. And if the media it is based on is more diverse than the game, then why is the game made like this? And if the game serves as a pipeline to Chinese culture, why give the West valid ammo to attack the game and China as a whole?

Not suggesting you agreed with it!

I don't recall any women in Chapter 2 either tbh. There's one female character in the entire game as far as I'm aware, she's a boss. This one: https://youtu.be/DZykPABE8U4

I looked at some videos with all of the cutscenes, and it does seem there's more women towards the 2nd half of the game.

Well I'll see as I go. I'm only in Chapter 3. I think there's 5 chapters?
