@Omnimon: To anyone, there is a difference. A lens is not "glasses" unless it is paired up and framed so as to be attached to a face. Otherwise, it is just a lens.

@Kakkoii: It isn't sexist to do that (although I’m sure there is a dissertation in identifying the societal reasons for this for someone out there). But there is something oddly 1970s about marketing as pink fluffy version as a "for girls" version, rather than as what it is – a pink version.

@AgentRayBans: No, it's the old fashioned regular sexism. The one that assumes gamers aren't normally women, and that women need a special pink fluffy version marketed to them to pique their interest.

@Damios: Skulls for Lord Santa!: As of 11th Dec, there was 4 million units sold to end users (rather than shipped).

@DrLoveCoins: "she doesnt even look british anymore"

@NotGodot: Whatever Assange’s personal motivations, Wikileaks has no agenda other than the publication of leaked or stolen data. That the site has been used for good reasons (and, as per your examples, it truly has) does not mean that all things for which it is used are inherently good. Or, indeed, that the site is de…

@Decoy_Doctorpus: Eldar, Ork and Tyranid campaigns have also been confirmed.

"Here's video of evil Space Marines as proof."

@Madeira: Yeah, a tendency to hypsersexualise female videogame character is almost exactly the same as disapproving of large chested women. Nice strawmannery.

There are exceptions where the female lead character isn’t hypersexualised like that (Faith from Mirror’s Edge, Fem Shepard in Mass Effect, Chell from portal), but admittedly this not the case enough of the time.

@CommodoreRake: There’s quite a few people who don’t mind (or even *whisper it* quite like) the more recent SW output. They’re just much less noisy about it – especially on the internet.

@TRT-X: To be fair, this was not a selling point of the DLC. It is a spoiler posted by Kotaku.

@xerokitsune: I'm a SW fan, and I thought it was pretty cool.

They killed off Kenobi and Darth Vader, and turned Luke Skywalker into a Sith apprentice FU 1 DLC and no-one cried about it.

@Samo: Re: The shooter. It was a spinoff. That’s why they didn’t use the name "Tomb Raider" for it.

All arguments about her daft chest proportions and silly hotpants aside (the former of which was already gone by TR: Underworld), am I the only one who thinks changing Lara form a confident, self assured thirty-something to a "vulnerable" 21 year old is a massive step back for the representation of women in…

@Jandau: PC version was announced a few months ago: [www.relic.com]

@RiotControl: Lara got more a feasible sized chest years ago, and is almost human proportions in Legend and Underworld.

@Orionas69: Time and a place for GL bashing, and I suspect this sad occasion ain’t it.
