Sexy and Sexism are not the same thing?

[MikeRox]

Having spoken to quite a few female gamers back before all this blew up on the internet. The overwhelming majority of them actually liked the physical assets of characters such as Lara Croft.

They wanted to play as "attractive" strong female characters as much as teenage boys did.

That was the reason Tomb Raider had such a wide appeal back when it originally came out.

I do wonder if the sexism row is actually a very vocal minority rather than a general consensus.

Just my 2p and throwing another POV out there but keep up the debate. Overall this has been one of the better threads I've seen on here.
