That's supposed to be Mary-Beth

I get it, it's Gamer shit and they do it to get clicks but it looks ridiculous in the context of Red Dead 2

Now that I think about it, it's usually just Mary-Beth and Abigail that get waifufied. It's probably because of the women in the gang, Susan is middle-aged, Karen is heavier set, Tilly is black and Sadie wears pants

I've seen gamers complain she's an annoying, unrealistic girl boss mary sue, etc etc

is she literally a suffragette?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, more of a bounty hunter or mercenary than anything. Its just that her story of being a sole survivor transforming into a 'got nothing left to lose' gun-slinger happens offscreen for the player so it seems like she had a sudden jump in personality if you're not paying attention.

Honestly was disappointed it didn't happen on-screen. She should have gotten to come along on some jobs and have conversations with Arthur that led her to that path instead of the relatively quick transition off-screen.

Sadie is a widow the gang picks up at the start of the game when they come across a farm that's been attacked by a rival gang. Her husband's been killed and the farm burns down so they take her in. The gang's female members don't really take part in robberies, heists and shootouts like the men do, instead they gather information, pickpocket and steal from dudes they seduce at bars. They also do the gang's laundry and wash dishes.

Sadie refuses to do chores and trades her dress for a cowboy outfit, wanting to be a gunslinger like the men in the gang. She also turns out to be kind of crazy and violent even by the gang's standards and there's several scenes where she kills dudes with a knife. She's also got a generally surly personality.

Needless to say, gamers hate all of this

Arthur can be a suffragette if you play your cards right.
