But looking at it from the developers view they are probably trying to appeal to the male demographic, which has different taste and preferences to the female demographic and therefore the characters would be treated differently as men don't want to constantly see topless men but skantaly clad women.

While far less games are geared towards women than men, the idea that games cannot aim for a particular demographic is detrimental given the particular and differing demands from video games that you will get from men and women.

If they make a MGS game with topless men and women dressed in full commando gear I would be 100% fine with it and applaud Konami for giving the underappreciated female demographic their due.


I agree.  There's nothing wrong with appealing specifically to one demographic even if it offends another.

Lets bring back some of the old character designs that were deemed offensive to specific groups.

For example.

 

(note.  Sarcasm!)

You know there are media that caters exclusively to women; See boybands, media like Twilight/50 shades of grey, bishie/yoai anime etc.

 

They fix appearances, attitudes, emotions, etc to fit what would appeal to females.

 

Yeah when this happens for something towards males, it's wrong, sexist, and pandering.

 

Dat double standard.
