They don't make the leading man a miserable loser who can't get a date. Panties melt in the presence of his granite jawline, perpetual stubble - and lets not forget his gun-arm (that's pretty much his only job..being the mule that hauls the big fucking gun around-sometimes I think the story would do just fine if the scenery spoke to the gun rather than the character), eh? Is the female sex prop actually fawning over him or the walnut stock on his BFG?
Quote:as husbands without important roles,If he's not the leading man he -is- the husband without an important role to the female lead - or..the bromance with the walking gun platform mentioned above. Non leading male characters do everything short of blowing the hero - that's the only reason they exist in the game.
Quote: as decoration for rooms,again...not the leading man?...scenery.
Quote: as prostitutesGot me there, seems like an uncomfortable line for game devs to cross. Maybe that doesn't test well with their market? Maybe that will change, and we'll see the bromance above blossom into full on oral, guess teenage boys just aren't there yet?
Quote:and non playable characters?Again, not the leading man, the leading mans lady, or the nuetered bromance.....scenery and npcs.
Video games are hilariously sexist...but it's not as if the male characters somehow escape that. They're jokes just the same. Largely, those games are made for kids, and like any saturday morning cartoon the characters are unbelievable and lacking in depth, male or female. All of that said....why -should- video games be a fair representation of reality? Is that what they're supposed to be? Here I thought they were fantasy....an intentional escape. I suppose what I'm wondering in all of this is why anyone would have to -imagine- any of that? Isn't that already the way it goes?
