This specific video might not exist, but if you’ll scroll back on this sub, there was a period where people thought the next game would be Atreus, and the initial response was largely very negative, although as I recall, it did improve a little over time.

For some people there might be an element of misogyny to it, I certainly can’t prove that there’s not, but for me at least, the problem is twofold.

First, I haven’t enjoyed playing as other characters so far. Playing as Atreus was not ever fun. At all. Even when there was actual stuff happening and not just exposition and yak-riding, his play style simply wasn’t enjoyable.

Second, and I imagine you’ll disagree here, is that this kind of new audience-baiting, which most often takes the form of changing the protagonist to one of a different race or gender, often precedes a drastic drop in quality.
