someone should endeavor to make The Most Political Game In The World by simply having no white male characters in it at all.

And originally created by a university design team with a female design lead, at that.

Even as Portal 2 adds male characters, one is greedy and responsible for all the conflict in the franchise, acting as something of a caricature for masculine stereotypes, and the other's only defining trait is that he's an easily corrupted idiot.

Portal is perhaps the best example of, and should be held up as the golden standard of, feminism in gaming.
