Samus, pre zero-suit, is probably a good example. Though one could say that the whole motivation of some of the games was merely to see her in her zero-suit (get good endings, see various degrees of bare Samus), so it somewhat muddies her credibility.

I think even post-Zero Suit she's a good example. The act that she's an attractive woman hasn't turned her into a sex object.

@Montana:

That's kind of to be expected, isn't it? There's more of us to talk about it. Especially on a male-dominated board like this one.

It's just kind of ironic, and I wasn't just talking about Vgchartz. I've been to gaming sites with plenty of female members and most of them seem not to care as much as the men do.

It is odd, I agree. I think a certain amoun of it has to do with the fact that people don't want to be labeled according to their feminist views - or maybe the kidn of women who worry about that sort of thing don't play video games where it's a problem?

There needs to be a study.
