I never said Solid Snake and Lara Croft didn't have any sexist archetypes, I was just giving some examples addressing different points, there's a lot that can be discussed about this, about ratings, sexism, other stereotypes, tropes, revenue, business, profits and so on, but that's something we ought to do in another thread - I'll give you credit for saying that sexism sells, it does - But I don't agree that it impacts the industry that much compared to the gameplay features you put in games as well as graphics or soundtrack. I think looking at successful games with female characters who had, as I put it before, stronger personalities or features, or higher/better representation (like the girl from HL2 or some characters from MGS like Sniper Wolf, Olga, and so on - As well as games that allow to choose gender like TES Skyrim and are inclusive) proves that sales can be hit without recurring to cheap tricks.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
