>What's not right? You think it's unacceptable that gaymes marketed to white suburban kiddos have a white male main character who gets bitches?
I'm just acknowledging that that thing is correct when it observes that state of the world. I would assert, as you do, that there is nothing wrong with that, given the history.

Take Chrono Trigger:
Chrono is a young adult with no social responsibilities: no farm, shop, or dependents.
Lucca is a young adult with no social responsibilities.
< Note that for these two, their only capital is social capital and able bodies. They are in poverty by the standards of their society (as young people often are).
Marle is a princess.
Frog is basically a hobo: a ronin on a mission of revenge.
Magus is also a hobo.
Ayla is a village chief.
< Of the cast of Chrono Trigger four are in poverty and two are at the top of their social strata. There is no one from in between. And while I use Chrono Trigger as an example, I assert that this is a trend in most narratives overall: they generally exclude those actively participating in the middle class. Most narratives that involve someone from the middle class normally remove them from their social obligations. Buffy (the Vampire Slayer) may have had to manage her middle class social obligations, but she rarely went on globe-trotting adventures, and never for very long.
