@Alientraveller While it's true that they are diverse culture-wise, that in of itself does not give Ubisoft the excuse not to be diverse gender-wise.
With there being 13 ancestral protagonists so far in their games and media, why is it that only one of those characters is a woman?
Ubisoft use Aveline as a token excuse that they've made an Assassin's Creed with heroine starring in it, so they then can go back to the whiteboard and focus their future games about male heroes.
It's not very progressive to the medium, full as it is with female gamers, to relent for one game as if to give the fanbase a "treat" and then hold out on us indefinately. We need to see more female main heroes, on main console titles (not side games on handheld consoles) for Ubisoft to truly consider themself "diverse".
