I lasted one episode of the Batwoman show. Fortunately it wasn't as bad as the trailer made it out to be (She says "I'm a woman" about 6 times in the trailer) but it was still terrible.
The gay thing makes sense as she was Lesbian in the comic as well. But if you have to tell people that you're a woman constantly or that you're gay constantly then it's not organic. It's just pushing stuff for political reasons. It was like the whole Baulder's Gate DLC thing. They released a new DLC for a 20 year old game and people criticised it for having a transgender character. At least that's how the media sold it but in reality the criticism was because when you meet the character the first thing they say is "I'm transgender". It's like the "I'm vegan" joke come to like. Assassin's Creed handled this well in Syndicate. There was a transgender character who was obviously transgender but no one mentioned it the whole time. No political agenda, just a character who was treated normal.
Also, Batwoman was pretty boring so I stopped after the first episode. Pretty sure it'll get axed after one season and they'll blame sexism or bigotry or something.
I agree man. It's not the fact that they are a woman or gay that bothers me, it's the whole pushing it continuously down our throats so to speak, having to make the point. It's more so the way the go about it and emphasize it.
I get that Batwoman is a gay character, no issue with that, again it's just the fact that they push it or have reinforce it.
With that aside, I still found the show boring and poorly done. Snoozefest. I also think it won't last out 1 season.
Talking transgender in game, I remember in Watch Dogs 2 their was a Transgender character that you had to do a few jobs for. They also didn't push it from what I remember.
