Sometimes if not often, they were never taught to distinguish fantasy from reality, never had any idea and they were born to never learn about the true face of the harsh reality of our life. 

As for the ratings system, I highly support but it doesn't always stop or prevent kids from playing violent and overly sexualized video games. Back in the day, kids used to sneak into rated R movies and porno movies too.

JRPGs do a pretty splendid job of giving everyone in the target audience something to look at.

Anyway, I'm not for any form of censureship regarding those things. For that matter you get that same thing in films and music videos, and adverts and whatnot. If you have a game with some extremely macho guy, obviously targetting guys (except for God of War apparently, because I know too many girls playing that and liking Kratos in a purely not-his-characterization way), you sell to them what they want to see. And it's absent in a lot of Western games due to the target audience, but in other media you get guys in the same role, sex sells in both directions.

As someone who had to live with censored anime for years (including cutting scenes, changing dialogue and sometimes even changing people's relationships completely), I want my entertainment to be there for the sake of me being entertained, not for raising me. What the artistic (and educational) media might think of it, is only of secondary concern to me.

Anyway, I don't like boobs. It's just on a principle.

Idk if sexualized but they are intended to be pretty, thats what we all like to see.

Yes a majority of females are over exaggerated, but i'm not complaining. What I think is unfair is that not enough guys are to maintain the balance. My wife would probably like more games if there were more manly exageration.

i agree with ZenfolderVGI

video games are the dreams/imaginations of the developer so if they want women that look like strippers they are going to get it(they know it sell more games and thats why they do it)

women are also sexually exaggerated in songs, movies, probably even books etc.

How can you say this?  Has all of my work in the advancement of boobies for the betterment of the world accomplished nothing?!?  Take it back.  You hear me?  I said take it back!!

Also, I don't think women need to be exaggerated to be sex symbols. I, for instance, think a women's sex appeal is mainly in her face. Also, that picture of Lightning above, which many have approved as not being explotative, has a short enough skirt to almost see panties...

You seem very concerned about our culture, but what does our culture become when we allow offensive behavior on the part of a select few, to override our entertainment options?

The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither.

Also, where does it stop. Should be become a nanny state where anything that can be offensive, or bad for us, or bad for just a few of us, should be cut out completely or banned? Whatever happened to the freedom to create the material you want to make, without having to worry about those who would knowingly abuse or misuse your creation. Should we not now censor music, movies, ban alcohol and cigarettes, and required the age of 30 for driving?

Basically, who are you, or anyone to say what is overtly sexually exploitative. That is an opinion. Secondly, can you prove a double standard, because if you can't, you are actually being sexists yourself. Thirdly, this would set a dangerous precedent. There are tons of other mediums and sources that present things that can be bad for a select few "young or simple minded" people, and if as you say, ratings preventing the sales of these items to children are unsatisfactory, then would you have this applied to anything and everything sold that could be seen as not completely politically correct? Finally, would you deny the vast majority off an audience what they want to see, because people who would never even be part of that audience anyway, might be offended were they to accidentally stumble their way inside?

It just seems like political mumbo jumbo to me. Sounds great in congressional speeches, but in the end, its just another freedom someone is trying to take, because its existance entered their mind on a whim.

Next you can take my alcohol, cigarettes, car, guns, television, movies, music, internet, pen, paper, and books. They've got a lot worse shit in them than short skirts.

I disagree

I see bloomers,and thus that is sexually explotative. Also, note how the women is having to rely on the men for support. So explotative, ban that game.

No not really; the only ones i see that are over done, are the girls from the DOA series. Tomb Raider is 50/50. She can be so hot but can also kick so much ass you tend to forget about it.

When I first saw the trailer for Metroid: Other M, I noticed that samus had a bigger bust. This kinda worried me; until also noticed that she was still covered up. You can't blame Team Ninja, thats who they are. Even Nintendo Power, issue 254 assures that she will still look professional despite Team Ninja involvement.
