Yes, Samus is a great female character, like I just said in the post above.

The bolded part is the problem we're discussing. They're doing it just to entice people, to fulfill their sex fantasies. And that my friend, is sexism. And gaming is so full of it that girls don't wanna be here and talk gaming to us guys.

I don't think that in itself is inherently sexist.

Personally, I think the toxic misogyny of the gaming community is more represented by the fact that women can't play online openly without being bombarded by "get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich".

YES!! What a fucking awful thing to say to someone! NOONE wants to be in the kitchen ;) but you're totally right - and that's a bigger problem than gaming budgets and everything else. This form of entertainment will never become mainstream as long as that kind of behaiviour persists.
