Here on OcUK Forums? Well of course not, this forum is well known for being sexist, homophobic, racist and generally quite unpleasant.

If the only reason not to gender-swap megaman is the name, then that seems pretty weak. It's not like any of the megaman story elements wouldn't work if you swapped (i.e. gave the option to swap) the protagonist for a female (making appropriate gendered language changes, of course).
There's literally no downside to that.

You could quite easily argue that Pokemon has good story, Minecraft is story that you make. Ultimately your highlighting the best sellers, which is extremely narrow minded and agenda ridden.
What about Mass Effect? Witcher? Dragon Age, Baulders Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout, Half Life, Portal (Strong female lead!! OMG).
There is more games based from story then there is games made without story. Even the Call of Duty would have had a theme, a narrative they wanted to tell to help drive development.

You are changing your argument now.
You said that most games start with the story and that having to include female protagonists is ruining some poor writers dream.
Now you are saying there are more games with stories than without. Well durrr.
In Call of Duty the story doesn't come first as you previously suggested.
They think "Oh we better make another shooter to keep the cash cow plump, what story shall we shoe-horn in to it this time to justify shooting lots of people in the face?"

Its a spin off from mega man, about mega man, for mega man fans. They want Mega MAN. Nothing more, nothing less. They don't want equality in their game, they just want mega man.
The community didn't want Mega Women or Mega Transgender. They just wanted Mega Man. Why the **** can they not get what they paid for?

I see more people attacking the OP and why are you here if it's such a horrible place?
Because it hinders story. If developers become scared to explore narrative unless they include a transgender 11th generation descendant of a Cherokee, then creativity is squashed.
Why can't we just let stories be stories, if you want a pro feminist game, go and make one. Just don't push your agenda's onto other writers because it doesn't fit your agenda.
What do they lose by the game giving an option for megaman to be a female robot?
What's the downside?

I was talking historically, it's gotten better recently. I'm here because I like to chat games and computer hardware mainly and thus those aspects of certain groups of people on this forum don't affect me.

Developers being forced to cater to a loud crying minority, if I want to make a game with a white male lead character why should I be forced to change that based on social just warriors and their whining? Unfortunately the trend has gotten so large that developers are now scared to do what they want to do.

It was well known for it, there used to be a guy who owned it called Spie and he was a nasty piece of work (IMO)
But that's in the past.
You add development time, which equally pushes the game back and increases cost.
They didn't want a female option, they didn't want anything but bloody mega man. Damn, when a world becomes scared to make a mega man remake for fear of not including a female, its a bloody joke.

I just want to make a game where you can roleplay as a rapist KKK member in the deep south of America in the good old days... Damn that loud crying minority!

I must have missed something then, did the Mega-man sequel not happen? Was the developer "forced" to change his game?

Look up the game "Ethnic Cleansing" right up your street.
