Sexism in games.

[Beware of Cuccos]

As a female, I do not feel as though video games are sexist. It's funny, really. The majority of the people who pull the sexist card are the type of people who spend their time looking for things to get mad at. The companies promote to a certain group (teenage/early 20s males), and the result is ass and titties. That's just how it is. Personally, I don't even pay attention to how "hot" my characters are. I'm more concerned with "Have I gotten all the weapons? How many dungeons do I have left?" etc.

But honestly, think about this- Take a game with a strong female lead, who also happens to be sexualized. Tall, skinny, big boobs and ass, middrift showing. Now take that exact same game and replace that sexuality with a 5'4", average sized, short haired girl in Vans, blue jeans and a concert tshirt. Congratulations, you just played me as a character. But which one do you think most people will buy? Option one, of course. But that doesn't bother me at all. Just something to think about.
