Perhaps not but God of War sure is. Besides if entertainment says a lot about a person like think Zelda link to the past is great making you sexist. I can't imagine what Bayonetta makes me. Besides the game is intentionally objectifying woman, unlike OP I am not a SJW and I don't give a crap about that. I think it is humorous in an odd kind of way to strip to summon a demon. |
Well, Bayonetta is designed like that because of the enemies she's fighting. Angels, holy and venerated creatures. Defeated in brutal and bloody ways by a woman who dresses in a very provocative way, acts with lust and uses a strong language with them. It's like the very embodiment of everything the church and christian religion hate.
As for the stripping thing... it's actually explained and makes sense. Witches use their hair as a catalyst for their magical power and to make their own clothing That's not a thing they made up to take off Bayonetta's clothes: there are actual myths and legends about this facts all across Europe. The more power they use, the more hair they need.
So... no sexism here. Because it's only sexist if that's what the person that made the game intended to do. It's like racism. I don't know in other countries, but here in Spain calling a black person "black" can be seen as something racist and disrespectful. BUT, it's not always the case, as a lot of people just use the world "black" without any intention to offend. So, it's not something intrinsically racist, but some people can see it that way.
In videogames, Dead or Alive is totally sexist, because the creators actually wanted to make the women on their videogame as much of an object as they could. Which women are not. Heck, they even said that the made tits bigger and with better animation because that's what fans wanted and that they wanted to content fans xD
