    My abilities to thumbs up doesn't work so I wanna say that I agree with recioman. I also wanna say that I feel like anything involving women and sexy in entertainment gets used as kind of an easy punching bag. That annoys me!

    The thing is, a lot of women will never be interested in gaming. It's just not their thing. They don't like the plot, what the games are about. It's just not their type and nothing will change that. Yes many females are what people call casual gamers, most females have had a 'casual' gaming faze in their life, but they won't move on because they just don't like them. Changing what the female characters in games look like won't change much at all. Coming from a female who loves gaming.

    Useless video complaining about a non-issue is useless.

    I would 100% agree with this video if honest complaints were what I was hearing. I've heard a call for better female characters from many, and I support that. The problem is that what I usually hear from the outside is to completely remove the idealized female characters. The arguments are that any idealized female character is only used in games as objects. I am fully for meeting in the middle somewhere, but that is not meeting in the middle. That is full assault with no quarter given.

    xD "hardcore one armed Barbie" just made my ... evening

    well, this is what young girls need. A Barbie that is just as badass as the boy's Power Rangers action figures (or whatever may have replaced them).

    Welp when you're a parent, you know what to do, mine were quite progressive and let me choose between a very nice pink kitchen plastic toy set and a sega mega drive, that choice may have altered my life forever.

    But as a female gamer going on mid twenties now, I'm not too torn over it. I also owned a barbie. I drew all over her and eventually she lost an arm. You don't mess with hardcore one armed Barbie.
