ok then, i will just have to say that their statement was ignorant and bigoted then, because that isn't a personal insult.
also using ignorant and bigoted statements to stop ignorance and bigotry isn't a good way of doing it
Alex also has long hair (which is the way of differentiating between male and female in the Minecraft art style). Though, the Alex skin can certainly be male or female depending on the player (since males can be thinner and have long orange hair as well). Alex was probably named that so that the skin could be gender ambiguous (much the same as the name Jesse).
it's not female, it is just thinner, alex is a unisex name.
i am not built like a lumberjack, my name is alex and i am male, so i would u… morese the thinner body if i wanted it to look more like me.
they just don't do breasts in minecraft because they would be pointier than lara croft's in tomb raider 1, and would look ridiculous
the default alex skin has long hair but the model is just a square head like the steve model, only it is slightly thinner, however i do agree that the name was chosen so it would be gender ambiguous or unisex, unlike steve which would be really hard to say it wasn't just a male name

and simultaneously inventing the term "femjesse" and people being offended at the term "femjesse"
Exactly. The female and male versi… moreons of the main character are supposedly equally valid choices. Yet "Femjesse" would be the description of a deviation from the norm, hence less valid, at least if you don't call the male variant "Maljesse" or something like that. Which probably no one wants to do.
I know, I know, we live in complicated times. But it's really not that hard when you put your mind to it. After all, these claims are rather valid.
There's much to be said about the treatment of the main character(s) here. Personally, I love how the suspenders design is carried through all six variants. It's also commendable that Telltale resisted adding a pair of blocky breasts. The bow (?) in the Tabor-Jesses' hair could of course be interpreted as unwanted gender signifiers. Then again, it's two blocks, for crying out loud.
I guess we're pretty cool with the anti stereotypical gender representation crowd here!
i should win an award for how offended i am feeling right now, i should get the gold medal for being triggered, OMG when will people realize that real world practicalities, budget issues and time constraints are no excuse for not pleasing everybody.

I really like Patton Oswalt, so I'm tempted to play as his take of Jesse, even though I usually play as a female character if given the choice.

There not complicated, but mentally challenged times filled with fools/tools with too much power.
Because its just that, a minority. They want to have the masses relate and appeal to their game.
