There is always a time where every girl could wish that they were a boy. I hate the jeans we have! Cant move!:P Why do we have to wear so uncomfortable clothes?! Like when we're on the beach, we must wear those damn bikini stuff! Why cant girls wear shorts? Why cant boys accept what we wear?! Why do they decide? Not that I care what boys think of what I wear:P I have many boy clothes:P Jeans and stuff=) it's cooler when girls go with different clothes:D Not just those damn jeans we cant move in!
To claim bikini clad women is sexist is just outright IDIOTIC! The simple FACT is bikini clad women attract even more female attention than male. Thats the reason mags like Cosmopolitan has lots of girls on the cover, NOT cause they try sell it to guys.
I just wanted to point out that I knowingly over simplified in the video, this was part of a group project and I had to boil it down to a common viewpoint. The views in the video are more then professors and the the average of the group opinion then my own personal views.
While I understand your point, I strongly disagree with it. I think that some others have already pointed out the equal "objectification" of men in video games proving that these games aren't sexist, simply materialistic. And what more could you expect when a large percentage of your player base lives in the U.S.? Also I'd like to point out that many of the best selling games for all consoles do not show women in any derogatory way. I don't think Leisure Suit Larry did as well as say LBP is.
OK, look at the representation of men. We are usually depicted as muscle bound machos, or we are nerds who are killed off early in the game. Half the problems make characters get into within a game are caused by there own mistakes because they want to smash the hell out of something. And you know what? No one cares. Its video games. Not the real world. Get over it, and focus on the real problems women must over come.
Look at the demographic of gamers. Most are male, hetrosexual males.
Also, the same can be said for men.
Link is musulcar, Solid Snake, Big Boss, Duke Nukem, Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, among others.
As for the Beyond Good and Evil, the reason why it was a failure was due to timing, they released it at Xmas time, when all the big name games came out. Hell Ubisoft put the game against some of it's other heavy hitters at the same time.
i must say that although you have a point, its one i dissagree with, they do the same thing to men, just noone notices, every male video game character, that you are supposed to like is attractive and physically fit, ussually no fat and large muscles, and often without a shirt on, women are treated no different in video games. especially since as much as you might deny it there are physically differences between men and women, and i will continue in another response
women have more trouble building muscles, in general are less aggressive, and have a harder time dealing with the emotional issues of war, and since most games are about war, and most soldiers are male, there is obviously going to be more male characters. also, just because they make scantily clad women doesnt mean its sexist, it means they love the female body, and they know most people do. as a finishing point, peach is a princess, princess's obviously wouldnt be able to take out a giant ape
One question: In what way will getting rid of these games get rid of the mindset about women? It won't, much like getting rid of the "Braves" or "Chiefs" sports teams or getting rid of the "Charlie Chan" or "Blazing Saddles" movies.
Most people that play these games think that way whether or not they play them, and the ones that don't just enjoy the game (like me). PLUS you can respect a woman and still want to see her naked or make love to her.
Thanks for the kind words, this was for a race/gender in the mass media course I took spring of 08, I threw it together the morning it was due with clips from youtube so I know its not spectacular.
hey just to let ya know nowdays alot of games have women in them because the game producers are trying to get more femal women to play games.btw you are stupid
I'm really just leaving this here for lazy people to reuse if need be
