I much prefer this take:

All grown up and sexualized!

I agree wholeheartedly. Personality plays a HUGE role when it comes to male characters appealing to female audiences.

Oh, look, super generic comic book ladies with huge boobs and a skirt that is almost entirely ridden up. Way to capture absolutely nothing that makes the PPG look awesome. I mean, at least the hair and costumes are the right color?

For a 36 year old man, you have an exceedingly elementary view of what things like this video are trying to do. Just saying shit to the effect of "that's just the way it is so fuck it" or "it's a man's world" puts you in the same category as those who are actively fighting against better portrayal of women in media. …

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU PERSONALLY DISLIKE THE BEEFY MCDUDEBRO BODIES OF MALE CHARACTERS, the fact of the matter is…

Men aren't being exploited, it's positive features that are being exaggerated - e.g chest, biceps etc. which represent power or strength. It gives males a powerful figure to aspire to.

Whereas for women it's their sexual features which are exaggerated, making them an object rather than someone powerful who achieves…

Of course a military shooter, what was I thinking!

That animated GIF alone makes me squirm. I mean, obviously torture should be torture regardless of the target...but the fact that the attractive woman is also half-naked seems too much.

Yeah, the guy has some "brilliant" insights. My favorite nuggets from his Nintendo section:

Nice try, ANGELINA.

It's funny, but this feels more like a fix to me than censorship.

Dude, you should see a therapist.
