Sexism in games.

As for "booth babes", women who sign up for such roles to be objectified are the same women who would probably be content working at a Hooters.

Also the guys you posted I really can't meet you on, they aren't exactly my type. But that's a personal preference.

Well there's certainly something "in the closet" with the amount of verbose and rampant homophobia that takes place in that game.

The game itself doesn't really have a scent of homophobia....the fanbase/tardbase...meh. What do you expect?

Is that an actual point? Like, a serious argument? Man.

Yes. It's clearly not sexist if they are willing to partake in it...
