Toxic Femininity Female main characters break immersion

I see this applying mostly to games, but happens in movies/series too. I base this on the passive approach women take in life, where they are basically handed everything on a platter.

On a game, where you are the one driving actions, it seems so unlikely that a women would be this active and do all that's needed to progress the game's story. In movies and series I get the same feeling when there is a "badass" foid taking charge and being the main driving force of the plot.

Yeah, all the time they're thinking about Chad and can't do anything actually useful or realistic.

In some, like WoW, Mass Effect and Cyberpunk, you can choose. I had this thought when I created a female mc. Felt weird and unnatural.

Yeah fr especially that new game forsaken or whatever the bitch is a loser who spawns into a world where she has OP powers defeating evil enemies. Makes no sense whatsoever.
