Maybe not today. However, back in the day guys were pressured into becoming like that. CubeNerd does actually have a point here. Maybe our tastes have grown up a little. And that is true for these unrealistic portrayals of women. Not everyone desires the type of women they see in video games. However, there is a reason why Men were drawn muscular, and it wasn't simply because of males projecting.
I would be glad if she had the guts to also talk about male stereotypes as well and not act as if it's not a worthy topic. The two aren't as seperate as some feminists want to believe.
As the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Maybe seeing ripped guys is not your thing, but I assure you, many out there do. On the flip side, not everyone will look at these exaggerated females as sex objects. Yes, I'm sure many do. However, I do not believe it is a mere one-way street as it is often perceived as.
@zyxe @DarthLod @beefcake_1 @airmanwilkins Maybe not sexually appealing for you, but many do find that appealing. Also, not everyone finds big breasts on women appealing either. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean someone else doesn't.
What world are men sexualized? THIS world. Just because you aren't attracted to these over-exaggerated males in gaming, doesn't mean others aren't. The problem is that you and a few others on here only look at one aspect of this and tune everything else out.
Umm, no. It DOES work both ways, regardless of playing field. It doesn't make it right just because you feel the playing field isn't even. Objectification is objectification. It's either right or wrong. Looking to see what gender someone is shouldn't be a factor in deciding that.
@THE_DRUGGIE Not to mention, how many people actually knew her name was actually Chell? Is that something you find out in Portal 2? I only played the first one, and I never knew her name until reading this article.
