I think it's the way it's worded. It seems apparent that it's not organically driven, but rather comes specifically from a progressive leftist ideological worldview.
Sort of like, as you hinted at, the difference between Sarah Connor/Ellen Ripley etc of the 80s and 90s... and the Captain Marvel/Rey/Michael Burnham's of today.
They're all supposedly "strong women", but the former were organic, human characters forced into tough situations who had to struggle with their own weakness to realistically fight to survive against great odds. The latter are whiny OP Mary Sues with zero humanity or depth and just written as fantasies about feminist tropes that are objectively false in reality.
For example seeing numerous women as knights, elite warriors, the true rulers of the land, etc... when in reality women are objectively ***vastly*** weaker than men, to the point where there is basically zero overlap between them... with even the strongest women barely touching the weakest end of the male bell curve.
We see this play out today where women in the military have dramatically reduced physical fitness requirements, somewhere around 30% less on average I think... because they simply cannot perform at remotely the same level as the men. And even for the extremely rare few who can manage to squeak into those levels, they face 150% the rate of injury because the female musculo-skeletal system is simply much less robust than for males, so you see more muscle, ligament, and bone injuries, making even those who might have passed the initial physical into walking casualties waiting to happen and be a burden on their fellow troops.
The list goes on. It's the real reason you do not see women in the NFL etc.
Here's a really good example of that painful reality for women.
Let's look at the arguably best female tennis player in human history. Serena Williams (along with her sister.)
A guy not even in the top couple hundred male players, after playing a round of golf and having a couple drinks absolutely *wrecks* two of the best female tennis players in history, including the #1 best in history.
This story plays out across various sports where physical prowess is key.
So, again, to see a pretty normal, fit, attractive woman presented as some powerful warrior is just a joke. It's a progressive leftist fantasy that does not reflect reality.
Women by and large were not warriors because men would very easily physically slaughter them with little effort due to the massive disparity between the sexes in our sexually dimorphic species.
So when you have that, along with the cripple, along with the thinly veiled "racial prejudice" stereotype, layered over with lessons about how they're just raised wrong and need to be taught better etc... as though there is nothing else to the equation but appearance alone... (just look into things like the black/white test gap, average IQ differences between racial groups (more accurately genetic populations), average testosterone levels between those groups, and the correlations between these things and things like violent crime, murder, marriage rates, single parenthood rates, career outcomes, life expectancy, etc... and you see that there is an unpalatable but objectively verifiable reality out there that different average life outcomes between groups is not purely a result of baseless prejudice and discrimination for no reason, but rather stereotypes based on actual measurable differences between genetic populations that drive those stereotypes, which in turn drive the discrimination.
That doesn't mean that you can accurately judge an individual based on appearance alone. But you can absolutely gauge the likelihood of something... the odds someone will have a certain IQ, the likelihood they'll have a criminal record, the odds of them being violent, the odds of them being stronger than you, etc... the relative risk an individual might pose toward you, etc. Things like basic risk assessment. Those things are all objectively valid and based on that objective biological foundation. The measurable, verifiable reality of differences between not only individuals, but between groups based on biological sex, genetic population, etc.
I'm sure some people get offended by those facts, but facts they are and they shouldn't be lied about to suit some politically correct wishful thinking narrative.
For example, let's make a very clear and unarguable point.
Men and women in murder statistics.
Men are around 10 TIMES as likely to murder someone, which seems directly linked to things like male testosterone and temperament. Competitive, confrontational, quicker to violence, and more readily able to carry out that violence physically. So 90% of prison inmates for murder are male, vs only 10% female.
It's not that no females do it, it's just that for every 1 woman, there's 9 or 10 men.
That's not oppression. Women aren't oppressing men and locking them up at higher rates. That's men committing those crimes due to their biological nature being expressed around the world, and being locked up largely by other men for their actions.
I could go on and on... but hopefully you get the point.
Playing a game with a bunch of soy looking pretty boys running around with a bunch of domineering OP feminist fantasy women in a narrative based on a biased misrepresentation of historical prejudices related to appearance etc... the whole package comes together to form a thinly veiled social justice piece that subtly pushes these false narratives and off target worldview. (In reality there would probably be ZERO women in any of those roles in a given society, at best maybe 1 who happened to be any kind of warrior at all, much less some elite warrior. But to have the story basically riddled with them, and to have them look like models etc... for a story that tries to present itself as looking somewhat realistic (albeit in a fantasy setting), it just comes across as silly. It's feminist fantasy (or a fantasy for men who are into being dominated by women. And hey, again, if that's your fetish, knock yourself out.)
Again, it's otherwise well made and I don't fault people for playing it.
It's just not for me. I don't like being propagandized to by a worldview that I find ignorant, misguided, and counterfactual in ways that actually negatively impact my life and my country right now in the real world today. It's the same reason I quit watching TV, as it's largely become blatant progressive propaganda riddled with blackwashing, stupid weak men, OP Mary Sues, gender swapping, etc... everything to push the "straight white males are bad, healthy nuclear families are bad, women are strong geniuses that save everyone and should run everything, diversity and multiculturalism are and should be the norm" etc.
No thanks.
Like I said. I just don't personally care to be preached at in a game from an ideological standpoint I find to be toxic and misguided, however subtle you might think it to be.
