apropos of nothing, I just want to note that Red Sonja is very popular among women comic readers, always has been.
That's kind of my point I guess. While many female geeks have always enjoyed the Red Sonja archetype, I used to have the impression female gamers used to be reluctant to play this type of character, or some other more sexual PC types, for fear of reaction from some male gamers. But that seems to me to have faded in recent years, especially the last 6-8 years. But that's just my impression, and I was wondering if others with a wide experience of lots of different players over recent decades had seen this too.
