Do you have the statistic for it? Sales of the games with woman doesn't seem to point people are generaly offended by woman being in games. More funny is people atributing lack of woman or gay people in games as excuses for those groups not buying games, but forgeting that until perhaps PS1 most games had irrecognizable objects or animals for chars and since the 70's male were already a majority of gaming. |
I am not saying people are generally offended by women being in games, I'm saying people here in VGChartz seem to be quite vocal about "forced women" in games, particularly in the past year.
And I completely agree with your second statement, I think gaming tends to attract more males than it does females and the race/gender ethnicity groups in videogames used to be a non-issue. Same can be said for the other side though. Five years ago women in a WW2 game would not have garnered any attention or positive/negative press, and now there's people here that are deeply offended.
If Metroid was released today and then Samus had been shown as a woman in the end you would see a shitstorm.
