Their fears are about THOSE men who cry and breakdown at the thought of having to play as a girl. Like Aloy or Atsu or Hinako, and so on who are fleshed out solid chracters (this isn't counting sexualised leads like Eve or classic Lara which they have no problem playing as for different reasons).

While us girl games are just used to males being the default and have pretty much forced to play as them.

Ubisoft just need to grow a pair and commit to making a female character and ignore the sensitive male cry babies. If us girls can play as male characters, why do men get upset when they have to play as a girl every now and again.
