I was just wondering, that having regularly female protaginists starts being not so weird anymore (according to own impression, correct me if i'm wrong). But there was a time when a game was deemed a comercial failure just to have a game not aimed at girls having a female protagonist.
I rmemeber that Shantae had problems and thought they selected the second player option (possibly when the game was still on PSX). And Dontnod had problems with both Life is Strange and Remember Me for having female protagonists and that was a hill Dontnod wanted to die on.
Any more examples of that? Not players bashing female protagonists, i say publishers and people on the industry claiming it wouldn't sell a dime.
