Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will games continue to portray women as sex objects in the future?

DTG, if you're going to make a bold claim, and even go so far as to say that it's "factual," you should have, you know, facts. A link to back it up or something.

Anyways, I don't think female characters are being used as sex objects that much more than male characters. They're just recognized a lot more for it. Hell, I could claim that Vaan from Final Fantasy 12 is a sex object. He has very little depth and dresses in metrosexual fashion.

Nobody talks about how much of a sex object Ryu Hayabusa is.

I think it's the only reason my girlfriend watches me play Ninja Gaiden.

Or why she would play it herself if she had my Xbox.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

2008 issue of cosmo held a wide survey of women and only 40% claimed to masturbate, 60% do not. Tell me that 6 out of 10 men don't masturbate and make my day, but I don't think you can.

Men are very sexual and women are far less, hence why women are much more heavily portraid as sex objects by ALL media not only games.

 


Bahahahahaha, I had my doubts about you before DTG, but now I know you must be either 14 or a gimmick poster.

Also, you know people can lie in surveys in Cosmo, right?

Also also, do you seriously read Cosmo?



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Let me tell you a secret

Don't trust cosmo. Not for that qustion, anyway.

Also: Cosmo comes out more than once a year.

Like I said: leave. Come back when you've familiarized yourself with a woman well enough to learn about feminine sexuality.

I hope so but Fat Princess seems to indicate that we are heading towards the portrayal as obese lazy slobs who love cake.

Women are sex objects. Males are inherantly attracted to attractive females, females are inherrantly attracted to caring strong males.

This breeds porno...

This topic would have been interesting in 1923....its 2008.

Will the sky continue to be blue in the future? Will the sun cotinue to rise in the future? It's not going anywhere. And to be fair, they aren't always sex objects. You have......um.....and then theres........crap.
