I agree this post was likely bait, but I also feel the need to share my civil dissent against it nonetheless.
I'm a woman who is pretty damn sick of bland male protagonists, but "bland" is the key word here; for all the games ostensibly about men, there are few that explore masculinity like Disco Elysium does — it's a huge part of who Harry is as a character. I can't find it now, but there's a Tumblr text post that I loved that basically said that they can imagine Harry winning a drag king competition, and then people being like "you do know that he's not in drag, right?", and the voters responding "yes, we know, but also are you going to look at this and tell me this man isn't performing masculinity in the most drag-like manner ever?". The actual post was worded far better than this, but you get the point.
Also, Disco Elysium may be a grimy detective story, but I found it was pretty ACAB in a really interesting way. But it also looked at some of the usual social functions that the police perform that ideally would still be performed by someone even if the police were mass abolished.
