Yeah and if you tell them that they'll just go "well no Ripley was well written! We're fine with well written women!"
And its so blatantly obvious that no, the difference isnt the writing, its that reactionary youtube grifters werent around in 1986 to tell them what to be mad at. I've literally seen them call Chell from Portal "well written" in this way, for fuck's sake she doesnt fucking speak. If the reactionairy grift Network had been around when Portal came out they'd hate Chell too. An unsexualized woman protagonist in a game? WOKE!
In my opinion Aloy was very well written by contemporary game standards but that didn't stop a bunch of from giving her clumsy makeovers that make zero sense for the character and the environment she's in.
I've seen worse. I've seen chuds say Chell was well written because she, quote, shuts the fuck up."
They're the reason "you can't release Blazing Saddles today."
Chell is also, iirc, ambiguously brown.
