Seriously. There's an awful lot of people who pull quotes out of context in order to create an impression of her that isn't consistent with the reality of what she says, simply because of their own feelings of being threatened that people might actually critique the rampant sexism and the sexist tropes that infest the…

Because when you do something even as innocuous as making a game box with a female on the front (ME3), you get people whining about "giving in to those crazy feminists". /eyeroll

That looks nothing like the Dragonborn. For one, he's not a Khajiit.

Hey Lady, this part right here you sort of need to protect. Nice abs tho

you would think a race that is able to create a complex and ornate bow of that size would be able to construct pants.

Oh, look! Female characters in unrealistic skimpy armor to appeal to horny males.

I guess you think that if the XBOX audience is mostly white they should be making racist jokes and it would be totally justified.

Maybe she's not trying to be attractive?

Women don't have to dress up for you, they don't need to be sexy and/or cute. Gaga expresses herself through the aesthetics of her costumes, and sometimes she just thinks a giant piece of glass on her head looks cool. Either way it's okay, but people aren't used to women…

You ARE polling your friends, though, when you say stuff like "I know 4 girls with consoles... compared to roughly 30 guys". That's not a random sample, that's a selected population, so you can't assume that the same split is going to hold true for the population in general. Just like I can't assume (and I don't) that…

Console gamers also includes all the dumbass frat bros who play CoD for two hours at the weekend. Other surveys have shown that women spend just as much on gaming as men. They're probably just being classy and playing on PC.

49% of gamers are female.

OK, so maybe it's not as cool as having Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston or Idris Elba there, but it's still pretty damn cool. If I was stuck in hospital there would be well over 7 billion people behind Jaimie Alexander in the line marked "people I'd love to come visit me".

Yep, anecdotal, and thus worthless. My experience is totally different. I'm a female console gamer, and I know many others. Who probably won't be buying an XBone now, thanks to this "marketing strategy".

"Person with Don't Tread On Me Avatar has whiny white-male-centric viewpoint on things that bother other people, news at 11."

Is this before or after you accept the "I Don't Get It Because I Don't Want To" award?

People who aren't living circa 1950.

Actually, this is absolutely not pretty typical. And the problem is you think it is, that your case is the norm when it's not.

Horrible. This really doesn't have much place in 2013.

I want this guy to keep throwing consoles over his head for every new generation.
