Light forms of entertainment such as video games or movies sculpt large parts of the thoughts of the majority of people. While you may be able to play a game of this nature and see the inaccuracies and disreagard them due to your 'a posteriori' knowledge, if an impressionable young person's initial exposure to the setting of a game is that game then they would not be able to discern fact from fiction and would continue into adulthood with false knowledge.

Seriously?  The inaccuracies of having women in a setting for "multiplayer" are dwarfed by countless other inaccuracies of far more import.

I concur, but just because you see one wrong as being less immediate than another, that 'lesser' wrong does not suddenly cease to be a wrong. If one were to steal a loaf of bread and then rape another person, just beacuse the rape is perceived as being worse, that does not mean that the theft should be excused, as it is still wrong itself. In this case, we were asked our thoughts on female characters in CoD multiplayer, and so I gave them, just because I may view something else as greater issue, that does not mean that I stop perceiving this in the way that I do.
