Yeah because the rock climbing girl who’s into guns and archeology is totally straight
Eeehhh... I see what your saying, I think, but defining a person's sexual and/or romantic interests solely on their hobbies or jobs feels only slightly removed from "transvestigators" looking at hip to shoulder ratios. Like, there are probably rock climbing, gun toting archaeologist type guys who fantasize about the dorky guy in glasses when their not busy re-extincting the dinosaurs .
Lara Croft being a lesbian just resonates with the character for anyone that was paying attention beyond :freeze-gamer: :awooga: .
I mean let's be honest, they probably did this more for the :awooga: factor than for :flag-lesbian-pride:/:flag-bi-pride: representation
Yeah probably. :yea:
If Lara had a lesbian lover that was also her confidante and was always quietly in the background researching the next proverbial tomb to raid, that would feel legit.
But it will probably be cishet male gaze :awooga: bullshit (that can be edited out of specific jurisdictions) :capitalist-woke:
Shooting dinosaurs while doing backflips is the trait I most associate with the Sapphic community.
Girl really did hate her some dinosaurs back in the day.
ngl Tomb Raider 1 dinosaur scared me to death back in the day, I used to have nightmares about it as a kid. And the thing that turned Lara into a golden statue? Omg that game is cursed to me.
It might be fun if they switched back to her PS1 characterisation where she is just some rich asshole that murders endangered animals, prehistoric beasts, monsters, indigenous people, Italians, Tibetan monks, British Museum security guards, the homeless, witches, US military and aliens because she wants cool shit to decorate her giant mansion with as opposed to being plucky and sad about her dead dad
That Lara was supposed to die in Tomb Raider 4, and i doubt they will continue the Angel of Darkness timeline
Fuck me, did she die at the end of that game? I played all the Ps1 games some years back and all I remember is that it took place entirely in Egypt
4 was actually kind of decent, but you really felt for Core having to push out 5 of those games in a row
The new team at Core decided to kill her, but then in 5 and 6 they changed the plot and she survived. I think the whole explanation was cut from the 6th game because it was released unfinished.
Now that I think about it, I think 5 was framed as her friends talking about her various exploits at her funeral with the levels staged as flashbacks
I do need to replay the old Tomb Raiders, killing that tiger at the beginning of 2 fits well into "killing endangered animals* category. And face that fucking t rex that haunted me for years
Plus you could shoot at Lara's steward in her mansion, I think that was on 3.
Getting old in the age of treats is fucking weird bc someone will be "Did you see the heartrending new Deathmurder movie where Deathmurder McKillguy sacrificed everything to save his son?!" and I'll be like "Deathmurderer McKillguy from the darker and edgier 1994 comic book "Deathmurder Murders Again?" That sounds very out of character for him ngl" and then find out there have been seven re-boots and an OVA.
Dude I can't remember the sound of her face planting 300' in to a rock, but my limbic system does and just thinking about it makes me cringe.
woman eating pussy
somehow less feminine
Chuds really don't get how this sex thing works, it would honestly be kinda funny if it wasn't the end result of decades of psychosexual torture.
Feminine + feminine = masculine.
Masculine + masculine = feminine.
:stonks-up:
Masculine + feminine = ....gay?
:galaxy-brain:
"Trend of making female character lesbian" you know what all male AAA protagonist should have been mandated to have gay relationship with unskipablle kiss scene.
Forever salty that Snake and Revolver Ocelot never get together.
Probably because they tend to model the character after the voice actor. So she actually looks like a human being instead of a plastic Barbie doll
They tried to get Lara to hook up with an edge lord in Angel Of Darkness and she said "BOY BYE"
Honestly I have a bit of a problem with any character I write ending up bisexual because to me it's very hard to imagine being attracted only to one gender. I can do it if I'm actively thinking about it, but otherwise everyone just ends up bisexual by default.
I have read reams of shitty science and fantasy fiction and "I accidentally made all the characters bi" isn't even on the top 100 list of literary sins. You're fine. Terry Goodkind wrote a book where everyone was a libertarian and that was morally and ethically and ontologically correct. Just don't go that far in to the woods and you'll be fine.
Lara has always been single. Core tried to give her a love interest in Angel Of Darkness and it didn't work. So now Lara being gay tracks with the lore, suck it nerds.
She has her
girlfriend, Sam, in the recent reboot games. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up together (unless this is another reboot).
Lol ok they made the lady that fights rabid animals in the woods look like less of a brazt doll and gave her D cups instead of M cups
Neckbeard capital-G G*mers: "I love lesbians!"
Also neckbeard capital-G G*mers: "No, not like that!"see, the problem is when women have inner lives and you need to treat them like people
