    How was Diablo 3 misogynistic. I’ve heard complaints about the writing before but this is the first I’ve heard of misogyny

      It’s been a while but from what I remember every character woman is either an idiot or a manipulator.

      They took the witch from the first game and made her a conniving lying betrayer.

      The way Leah was written is… Not good. Weird purity issues. And she dies horribly.

      The female follower NPC is… A scantily clad enchantress.

      You start to see a theme and wonder about what the author thinks.

        She doesn’t die. She gets used as a vessel for a Female Diablo. Which might actually be worse.

        Don’t remember any weird purity issues with her though.

        Thanks for speaking up on this
