For me it's not really about that, it's more about the fact that it makes the female characters look like a joke. 'Everyone knows you can't be real soldiers sweetie so you can just be there for the sex appeal.' Female gamers want to be cool and heroic in their escapism too

If there was a choice it wouldn't bother me that much.

Are you saying you want video games to be the same standard as some horrible mills and boon novel. I for one don't....Those novels are called Trashy for a reason.

Putting aside the obvious sexist wtf-ery.... Why can't they just wear the same clothes as the men? They don't even have the sex sells excuse!!!

How is it a strawman you literally just said that in your last post.

Then you might want to think about why you are using a dead little girl as an excuse for misogyny.

You use the death of a little girl to make yourself feel better about treating women as objects to be ogled. It's disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.

She looks like she forgot to get dressed in actual clothes.

They would like me then rofl, I cut my hair and a week or two later it's back down to my bum again, my nails grow like mad too. It's kind of annoying sometimes as I can't maintain a hairdo really.

I think, if you are female in 2013, being treated like a person is a reasonable thing to expect.

Not being facetious but we kind of do see that (feminist articles promoting women's interests) every day dude. Just somehow people refuse to believe it. Like yourself for example.

Female gamers, we apparently don't exist and are supposed to not think of ourselves as special or rare at the same time. I'm sure we would be very interesting to a physicist.

Game industry announces reasonable statistic. Hordes of male gamers appear shouting 'I don't believe that! It must be because of Netflix and casual games!' Oh sod off. I'm female and I've been gaming for 28 years you expect me to believe I'm some sort of special snowflake?

Maybe they put 'female' on their sign up profile expecting people would treat them like human beings. Shocking, I know.

A few people have answered the questions you have answered of me but I'll just say. Okay we aren't forced to play GTA 5 but surely complaining that kotaku has written a mildly feminist article is hypocritical.

You just spent the whole time defending the misogyny in GTA now you are denying it exists.. right.

Why was black face banned?

You wrote an anti feminist post on a gaming site. Getting a lot of recommendations doesn't prove your statement is correct just that a lot of gamers are anti feminist. Which I'm sure is a big shock to us all.

Even IF a game is geared towards men does it follow that it should be misogynist? Do people have to make horribly racist material if their demographic is a single race?

Yet this article is about none of that is it. It's about how this game in particular portrays women, which apparently, is incredibly misogynist.
