Can we PLEASE have some more female killers? [RANT]

Right now, there are 27 Survivors and 25 Killers.

Out of the Survivors, 13 are male, and 14 are female. Fair enough.

When it comes to the Killers, 16 are male, and only 6 are female. (I'm not counting Demogorgon since it has no gender, neither Legion nor Twins since they are multiple people with a 1:1 gender ratio.)

The last three Killers have been male. Then we got The Twins, technically a duo of both. Before that, we got 5 male Killers (+ the Demogorgon) in a row.

There are nearly 3 times as many male Killers as there are female ones. I'm not saying it needs to be completely even absolutely all the time, but 16:6 is a HUGE difference. Is it really that difficult for a professional game dev team to design a female character without making her a pretty little murder victim? Are all the Killers gonna keep being some tall (usually) white guy with a mediocre power and a boring backstory? If I wanted to watch women get brutally killed by men, I'd just turn on the news.

Seriously. If the next chapter turns out to be another male Killer + female Survivor duo, I'm gonna be both disappointed and unsurprised.


EDIT:

This thread turned into a mess really quickly. I clearly underestimated the amount of misogynistic gamer boys on these forums. Having to defend myself against a small army of narrow-minded males is getting really exhausting, so I'm just not going to. I will no longer be reading or responding to any comments on this post.

Thank you for understanding <3
