What really grinds my gears is the fact that many of the same people that complain about characters like these:
are the same people drooling over characters like these:
They claim that these sexy female game characters are unrealistic and drive unrealistic beauty standards that harm women, and yet they are right there drooling over sexy male game characters that the vast majority of male gamers will never be able to look like. But you don't see the male gamers crying over unrealistic standards and asking for the male characters to be made pudgy and balding to better represent the male gender, instead they aspire to look more like those sexy male characters; they hit the gym, pump iron, eat a ton of protein, etc. I see the same thing happening with superhero movies. When men cry fowl over how female super heroes and their outfits are becoming less sexy over time, the feminists claim they are being sexist. But then those same feminists are drooling when Chris Hemsworth takes his shirt off. I just can't abide by all the hypocrisy I'm seeing these days. |
Kratos effectively is a God, so that doesn't bother, much in the sense Bayonetta doesn't bother me via being a witch. Chris Redfield, starting in RE5, is a terrible design. Leon is a much better design. Unrealistic males are just as silly as female.
The poster child for stupid is Quiet in MGS5. Tomb Raider Reboot is 10x better than the originals. RE3 Remake Jill is much better than the original as well.
I mean some of the designs are just awful. I imagine Link running around in a G-string... cause that makes sense.
