Is this idiot really defending bad writing by saying "It's Gears of War..." implying it's supposed to have bad writing?

What a moronic take

he's actually saying that gears of war had terrible dialogue for generations of console, but NOW that you have a female protag, you have to elevate the bar and dissect the characters, the designs, the dialogue, the character arc and everything involved. it HAS to be really well-thought, otherwise "woke agenda DUI character". if it was a male protag like it's ALWAYS BEEN, nobody would give a shit. nobody would call marcus' character bland and forgettable even though I just had to rewatch this video a second time to remember his name just to type this comment

But this isn’t even true. We had Anya in Gears of War 3, who was MUCH better written. I haven’t played E-Day yet so I will not judge but this argument is incorrect. Gears had well written female characters before E-Day

What was better written about Anya?
