Sexy and Sexism are not the same thing?

Targeting the male demographic is inherently sexist, as you are assuming that all men are looking for the same thing in their games. On top of that, in your example they are assuming that what men are looking for is the female characters to be treated differently from the male charaters, which is another layer of sexism.

The funny thing is, I don't actually think that was what they were going for in this case. Apprently they were doing it for the cosplay, so they are actually targeting women. Of course, that can also be seen as sexist as they are assuming what women look for in cosplay is scantily clad (read objectified) women.

Which really is another thing.  I mean, what percentage of people actually play videogames to be turned on?

I mean.   Pornography exists... and pornography games for that matter.

That every game is trying to give me a boner is slightly disconcerting.

I mean, back before the widespread of internet, sure, it was like what a sears catalog was to our father's generation... a sad last resort... but now a days....

I really don't know, but they have to exist. I can't see why else they would keep adding it to games if there wasn't someone who wanted it.
