@Whitebloodsun @buccomatic @ggregd Ok just wanted to be clear you would not feel uncomfortable playing a game where the camera focuses on the hero's bulge and ass.

@Whitebloodsun I think the natural progression is to question the way the original portrayal is made rather than imitations. Cosplayers imitate game characters not the other way around. And all she is asking you to do is think about it.

@buccomatic @ggregd You are comfortable with your game hero having a johnson so large it strains the fabric of his pants and the camera focuses on it when he is fighting or climbing - especially in cutscenes and advertisements? This is the kind of representation we often see of women.

@buccomatic Are normal everyday people invited to Bungie to talk to them about depictions of men and women in games or is it more likely that someone who studies gender issues would be invited?

@Whitebloodsun @SEEDman_X @harlow86 Sexist depictions of women in video games do not exist? At all? How are you defining sexism?

@TacticalDesire @Darnasian I think there could be an argument made for a middle ground. Female game characters do not have to be either school marms or Morrigan from Marvel Vs Capcom as she appears in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Anita speaks positively about the main character from mirror's Edge who is a very attractive woman.

@Darnasian You think the only reason people bring up female video game characters is to make money?

@Darnasian So for example "Narratives have always been a core way human beings learn about, make sense of, and understand the world we live in. Stories have embedded myths and messages and can be carriers of positive, heroic, or subversive values, but they can also propagate or reinforce negative stereotypes and oppressive social norms." What about that statement seems out of place?

@Darnasian What points made by the interviewer or interviewee seem insincere?

@Vixtastic Did you read her definition of feminism?
