Satisfactory
If we are doing the "protagonist is technically female even though it changes nothing for the plot" we have to add portal
Yeah we should! Most games listed here could have switched the character gender without making changes to the plot as such.
But it does make a difference, so I think they should be included. Even in the extreme example like Satisfactory, where you barely see what your quiet protagonist looks like, it's make a lot of people happy that the character just is female without it being pointed out or sexed up. It's also made a few people from the Expected Crowd confused and annoyed, which is healthy.
Metroid is another (and maybe the first) prime example of this
Oh wow, I thought they were enby for the longest time.
All my hours in this game and I never knew lol
