Let's not fight the rising of the tide here CollectiveCynic. You are implying that sex doesn't cause these games to sell like they do. That's wrong. We could be more worried about the financial state of the industry, and companies like Sony or Capcom, rather than coming up with ways to increase their political correctness and reduce their profits. Sex sells, and it's not hurting anyone, really. If you don't like those games, vote with your wallet, but if the vast majority of gamers do like and buy those games, then who are we to tell them they like the wrong kind of stuff, and its influencing our ...culture. They wouldn't make those games if they didn't sell boatloads, and anything they can do to make a good game sell better, more power to them. I wouldn't tell a rapper not to rap about "bitches" and I won't tell videogames not to show me some leg every now and again. Most of the audience is male anyway, what's wrong with a little fanservice? Will you be going after ecchi anime next? |
Actually the notion of "Sex sells" can hurt how males view women now, they can influence how they would treat and view women in a degrading manner. There's still a strong bit of misogyny in our society, especially for most young adults. I don't mind modeling as a tribute to the beauty of the female form, but it's a different story when the media overly exploits it. The DOA Volleyball games (And the fighting games themselves) are a perfect example of exploiting overkill, a poorly made game with creepy, misogynistic sexuality as it's main selling point. Watching it is fine, but as long as you keep it at a minimum, a craze addiction can lead to bad outcomes.
