Sex sells. That includes every single type of media.

I have seen Ironman, Captain America, Thor, Wolfverine, Batman, SuperMan (and more) shirtless on the big screen and yet, all the complains come from certain females arguing about Black Widow's fully covered body.

Men simply care less about being sexualized.

Pretty much this.

 

It's not only the videogames, it's everything who is "sexist". Just look at actual musics clips.

Videogames aren't sexist, people are.

Well, it's not a game. It's just an artist rendition on tumblr that was made to illustrate if video games catered to gay men rather than straight men. I find it pretty funny.

I am sick of this agenda and the people who push it. Funny thing is though, when its time to cos play what style of woman do female gamers tend to portray?

Its the "Video game" industry. Fuck all that social  correctness shit.


Did you even read the comments.  He said that games used to be sexist because of the audience they were serving but now they are changing with the audience.  This doesn't mean that we don't get badass male characters.  It means that we just get more or everything overall.  And thats fine.   Don't be a puppet for anti social causes either.  Be balanced.  His comments were very fair. 

And you guys disappoint me in general.  You see the word sexist and you completly turn off.  You don't even try to understand what people are saying in context.  there is nothing wrong with what he said.  You guys are acting like SJW in reverse.    Now I know they've won.  He can't even use the word sexist.   You guys did this by obsessing over SJW to begin with. 



Most videogames are sexist because it's an industry mostly led by men and they don't always get women right when being portrayed in a game.

This is a fact whether you like it or not, maybe you don't care or try to deny it but it doesn't make it less true. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but I'm simply stating a fact.

How is that a fact? Sexism = being discriminatory to members of a certain gender. How exactly are most games discriminatory to women?


The way they're often portrayed as shallow caricatures, a pair of boobs or a mopey maternal figure. Stereotyping is also sexism and of course there's an exception to this but that's not always the case.
