So I will first off I am a guy who believes in the feminist idea of women being equal. I also believe in the possibility that games can be art (I know there are plenty of other who also feel that way).

 

 

it seems to me than the feminist idea of women being equal is they get all the benefits of their gender without any of the negatives.

Why would any man enforce this idea?

yes, women and men should be considered equal.  But different.

Game characters generally portray what people want to see in themselves, or in their mates, those around them. etc.

So men want to see the hero characters as strong, brave, couragous.  And they want to see the female characters as beautiful, sexy and strong. etc. 

What's more, women want to see the female characters as sexy, beautiful, seductive. etc. (Just look at soap operas).  And they want to see men as strong, brave, couragous etc.

So why would game designers start putting meek little mouse men and flat chested over dressed women into their games?  Don't fall for the feminist thinking.  It's what all the butch dumb lesbo dog ladies want.  Nobody else.
