Here we go...

She is about as good representation of women as Nathan Drake is of men. A strong, intelligent person that loves her/his friends and with an objective (usually to save the world). The sex part is in your head. That is what upsets me about the whole discussion when a reviewer brings these things to the forefront. Its in your head, not on mine. I happen to see the good in people. Bayonetta is a dark heroine that loves her friend and saves the world. How is this a bad representation of women? The sexist way would say that women just go at each others throats whenever they can. More accurate? Perhaps, but its not what the game is representing.

Oh and btw... Bayonetta was created by a woman.

Here we go indeed...

The sex part is in my head? That would be because the camera is constantly staring at her crotch. How would you feel if most of the time the camera was staring at the massive bulge in Nathan Drake's pants? Would you feel that he's just in control of his sexuality? Or would you feel the director of the game is just being perverse because they are deriving sexual pleasure from the erection and feel their market would as well?

Perhaps we should applaud porn stars for owning their sexuality too? Many of them constantly moan about how badly they want it. Only of course they don't, they're being told what to say by a usually male director. Exactly as Bayonetta is.

She was not created by a woman. Nice try though. She is created by Kamiya who is the definition of a sexist pig. Talking about her like she has feelings and her own emotions is absurd because she is a video game character who is directed in her actions by a male to appeal to a male audience. And yes her model was worked on by a female... so what, females can be sexist too.

 

Bayonetta was designed by Mari Shimazaki, not Hideki Kamiya: http://platinumgames.com/2009/04/17/designing-bayonetta/

I don't know how long you've lived on this earth, but it is not in our nature to focus on the dicks of men, we focus on the beauties of pretty ladies and that is not being sexist. Guess what, women actually like men enjoying her sexual presentation. And Nathan Drake IS actually representing men like Bayonetta is representing women. Nathan Drake is being viewed as the ideal man, muscular, manly, strong, handsome as fuck and has random sex with Chloe. Just like Kratos in God of War has sex with random NAKED women who seemed to be waiting forever in their bedroom only for the ideal man to please them, but that is not being sexist? Bayonetta actually shows women can be sexy and strong (having a goal) at the same time. Women are not only here to please men.
