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

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

Just raising this point again... it's not like the booth babes are just random women who turn up. They're employed to be there, wearing what they wear.

Exactly, so it's not sexist then.


@Dark_Dimension
Suda51 is one of the few companies that jam females everywhere in their game but not for the sex factor.

I don't think it's about how powerful these women characters are, it's the intent behind it, which is basically to titillate adolescent males. Look at how it's marketed: Bayonetta - SHE HAS AN ARSE, LOOK AT HER ARSE; Tomb Raider - SHE HAS TITS, LOOK AT HER TITS... Lollipop Chainsaw - well everything really, but admittedly it's all very tongue-in-cheek and kind of pokes fun at the whole thing.

Yeah but Tomb Raider having large mammaries isn't what she's about. You could easily find any respectable female like Samus, Jill and Trip and look at their boobs and butt all day despite not being sexy like Bayonetta.

Like I said in my initial post, I there is confusion of Sexism and Misrepresentation of women.
