Lae'zel and Shadowheart can be mean sometimes, and it's okay to embrace women in video games like them.

Nobody's afraid of them. This article created its own problem to complain about.

Lae’zel and Shadowheart

This feels a lot more like the author is upset by the way these two were done, and is in turn projecting that upon "other gamers".

You never met one of those capital G Gamers who have never seen a woman that's not their mom? The ones that get mad if there are black/gay/trans people in their videogames because of "muh escapism"?

Nope!

Thankfully, I only know those gaymurrs from youtube videos that are brightly titled as [game] IS WOKE PROPAGANDA, so it's easy to avoid them.
