You forgot to mention the colossal sexism

I gave Lost Ark a try. I thought I'd play a Gunslinger as I liked the idea. Gunslingers have to be female, and after rolling my eyes a bit at some of the outfits I was able to pick out a modest-looking suit that I could play without feeling like I should personally be wearing a grubby raincoat.

The game begins, and lo! my character is now wearing a low cut blouse and leather micro-shorts like a porn parody of Lara Croft. I play through the prologue thinking "well, this is just starter gear and I'll get the outfit I selected in creation soon". Nope. I played to the end of the prologue and I'm still looking like a weeaboo wank fantasy. Also every cut scene is following my character at arse-level as she wiggles her butt with every step, and other characters in those cut scenes are watching her that way as well.

Logged out, uninstalled, deleted from Steam library. There is absolutely no excuse for this in modern gaming.
