Forums - Gaming - What are the most sexist video games?

The third one. Games that can trick some people into thinking they're feminist, like Bayonetta

I love it when someone mentions being sexist and then only goes on to talk about women being seen as sex objects etc.  Its like people who think you can only be racist against blacks & asians.

Feel free to discuss any games that portray men as hypermasculine macho machines with biceps bigger than their heads and chainsaws attached to their guns, who do nothing but kill men and/or monsters, tell women what to do, and have sex with women.  Often they're emotionless, but sometimes the only "emotion" they have is bloodlust, a quest for revenge, or something vague about honor.  Those games are just as efficient at reinforcing unequal power relations between men and women.

And I'll add that to the OP.



I think Duke Nukem takes the cake

Just watch porno if you want sexy, forget about video games.

Did you by any chance mistake "sexist" for "sexiest"? If so, you're not alone :D

Fire Emblem for sure. I remember Khuutra having a several pages long discussion regarding sexism in Fire Emblem and you know that when Khuutra talks, then it's got to be serious business.

By god i remember that one. Who was arguing for sexism back then? Someone predicating it on the argument that women consistently had lower Constitution, and that was the result of institutional bias by Intelligent Systems?

Fire Em-

Dammit Rol!

I'll say that sexism is an institutional problem with video games, rooted primarily in almost every game being produced by the male perspective for the sake of being consumed from a male perspective. Picking out specific games is harder.

Super Princess Peach is almost hilarious in how sexist it is, though. Go Go Menstrual Rangers!

I'd argue that Bayonetta is a step in the right direction, but I'll let that lie beyond this post because this topic is about games we find sexist, not games we don't.



Mario

Mario

Why do you single out Mario?  He's definitely not hypermasculine in any way.  He's a short chubby working class antihero.  He's just a carpenter and/or plumber who gets caught up in a wacky adventure.  He doesn't even have biceps.
