What I like about Eddie in Outlast: Whistleblower is that he’s depicted as a real threat to every male character—he’s not just scary, he’s a genuine danger for men.

In so many horror games and movies, especially in Western media, female characters are the ones who get sexualized, tortured, and killed—often in ways that tie into pregnancy or sexual violence. Meanwhile, male players get to stay in the “safe zone” and just observe or “enjoy” the fear.

Whistleblower flips that dynamic. It puts male characters—especially the protagonist—at the center of the violence and horror, including body horror and unwanted sexual attention. That reversal really hit me. It was the first time I felt like I wasn’t being forced to watch women suffer for someone else’s entertainment.
