@Zefbot it actually takes a lot of work to create the art and animation and dialogue for a main character in a game. Scripting wise it isn’t that hard, I know I’ve written gender/sexual orientation neutral modules for NWN and plenty of other folks have as well.

Gosh, how hard can it be to program games so that you can choose a male or female avatar at the beginning? Most storylines would then simply need he/him words changed to she/her etc.
Surely there are enough female gamers around to warrant that.
To take it a step further, they could even ask you at the beginning what love interest gender you prefer, in games that a romantic interest is included. Not holding my breath on the last point but it would be simple to do. Because frankly, even though I’d rather be a female avatar, I want to be a female avatar saving the princess not the prince.

I agree with spotticus! A female zombie slasher should be awesome.
