Female protagonists or heroes?

The makers of the video game “Assassin’s Creed” announced in 2014 that there would be no female avatars in the game.

Male teams of product developers only managed to adapt the health app, which measures everything but nothing about menstruation, after five years.

The Guardian reported that in June 2018 Siri’s software developers were explicitly instructed that Siri was only allowed to react to “sensitive topics” – such as feminism or the MeToo debate – in three ways: not addressing them, distracting or using Wikipedia – Inform definitions.

Also, the word “feminism” should never be explicitly spoken.

In response to specific questions such as “What do you think about equality?” Siri said something like: “I’m not sure” or “Whatever you want”, but meanwhile also:
“All voices are the same and deserve the same respect”.

Before criticizing the guidelines, she replied in the English programming: “I just don’t get this whole gender thing”. Also, in the wake of the MeToo movement, Apple changed the answer to the question “Are you a bitch?”, Which was “I would blush if I could.”

Now it says: “I won’t answer that.”
