A great article about how there's no sexism in videogames
[url=http://www.newstatesman.com/games/2013/07/theres-no-sexism-gaming]This might go over the heads of a few people, but I think it's pretty well-written and makes an excellent argument.[/url]

The chiseled abs, toned muscles, and general manly physique of the male character models in [i]Scarlet Blade[/i] inspired me to go to the gym ten times a week.

i feel like whoever wrote this is pulling a ruse

Well, yeah, but you forget that most video games are made by males for a male audience. Sure, the most recent Call of Duty has only 1 plot-important female NPC I can think of out of a cast of about 20 males, but then again, how many females do you see in a regular multiplayer match for that game? 1 for every 30 guys? Maybe 50? They aren't portrayed realistically simply because the people who would want them portrayed so aren't a large part of the audience, and because of that, video games made by women for women, where men are depicted as the article suggests, are rare simply because there isn't any demand for them. That having been said, I would totally buy Tomb Raider: Lawrence Croft Edition.

A Sapphire private thread has the OP downvoted? rly?

Either i'm more dumb than i've been aware of, or the point of that article just went way over my head, cause i'm confused.

Hey where's Cortano?

1 ReplyIt's a Jay thread, aka "women are oppressed men are pigs" just ignore it. Despite the fact we can defeat this ridiculous article easily lets just not get started. She's looking for a hot topic and more attention, don't give it to her.

Lawrence Croft... Where do I buy it?

The comments section, per being a comments section, disagrees violently.

This makes me want to play Metroid.
