The pervasive sexist culture of gaming in general actively discourages and punishes female participation.

This. Everyone; read this. I'm actually kinda sick and tired of gaming culture since it's sexistic as fuck, both among gamers and developers. You've seen Samus Arans latest outfit in SMash right? That's what's wrong with the gaming industry as a whole. It's abigger issue than the AAA industry

Oh, come on. Those are old suits designs. If they stuck in her Metroid 1 Bikini, complain then.

And that is a part of the problem. Like I said in my response, I can understand why they had that suit on the NES, because of limited resources of that time. They wanted to make sure that she actually looked like a girl. But is that neseccery nowadays? No. Now we can plainly see if it's a girl or not.

I agree sexism is stupid. But to me, this outfit isn't it. The Bikini one is. Samus to me is hot even up to her Viara suit. So she's gonna be hot no matter what she wears. It's really not gonna change anytime soon. Unless somehow the userbase of gamers go 50/50. Then more bare chested guys would be used to sell games.
