Female Leads (Gaming)

This reminds me.

First day back at work. Ask my office neighbor, a guy about my age, what he thought about The Force Awakens. He launches into this speech about how good he thinks it is that they have an interracial couple in the movie.

First thought: Well, maybe they're a couple, but I didn't get that vibe--I mean, Finn seemed like he might be interested, but Rey less so. There's much less of that kind of spark between them that you saw, say, among the leads in the first Star Wars.

Second thought: Does anyone even think about this anymore one way or another except for old white people? (More particularly, racists and secret racists who compensate by bragging about their approval of interracial couples?)

P.S. No offense intended here--just thinking out loud.
