thanks guys these are all very good points and they will help with my research quite a bit as some of you put very detailed responses out there.

some very good points were disscussed and brought to attention

oh and by the way i am sorry that i did not post in this thread more but my wireless screwed the pooch and ive been trying to get it back up.

Every one here I am assuming knows of the negative publicitygames recieve in the media. I am doing a research paper on the effects of video game characters body types on the body images of the players. Do you ever find yourself feeling bad after seeing how strong or how pretty or how cool a video game character looks?

in a slightly detailed answer let me know, and please dont be rude just for the sake of it.

Thanks
