Halo 4 permaban for sexism

Except that you are no longer experiencing the game as intended anymore.
That's like giving Daniel from ADD a Chinese accent, and making him
speak Chinese, because people are concerned there aren't enough Chinese
people as main characters in games.

It's not your game getting a sex change, so what's the problem? If a chinese guy wanted Daniel to be chinese then he could change the game files for it to be so, and everyone happy. And the game clearly give you the prompt to give the character a name, which is implying that the main character is "you", why not give the option to change sex? I would understand if the game didn't give you the option to give your character a name, because that would be definite, but as it is right now, it isn't.

Plus saying that “I’m not having my daughter growing up thinking girls
don’t get to be the hero.” is silly. You're going to make it end up the
other way around if you do that! My opinion? Accept a game's main
character as it is intended, and that's that.

No it will not, because the world as it is right now will teach her that boys are strong and girls are weak either way. Unless she isolate herself, our society will take care of that. I can also understand artists integrity, intentions and all that, but giving her daughter a character to identify herself with while using an interactive medium is far more important than you'd thing. I did it, that's why I couldn't get into tomb raider, or Drakkan etc. And I'm confident that a lot of other children are the same or similar.

I personally think it's really cute and dedicated.

Now, if doing this got feminists up in a bunch and they start declaring
that ALL games need to do this...well, then there's a problem.

That won't happen, I can assure you and those who really want to do this are taking things a step too far. But the thing here is that it's on a personal level that don't effect anyone, so the negatives that the dad have gotten is based on bull and fanboys that feel themselves attacked because "their" main character have changed sex in some house on one small speck on this planet, THAT is taking things too far.
