Wow. Alarmingly poor taste.

You think that's bad? You should see what I say about her on my show. I'd have been even harsher but there are words I refuse to use no matter who they refer to.

But come on back on topic.

I'm not even sure what to say in response to that. Umm.. Thanks for showing a tiny modicum of restraint by not displaying the full beligerantly hateful misogyny of your true nature? Uh. Good job on that.

I think I'll just add your username to my ignore list and call it a day.

What's your deal with her? Do you think she's gonna take your games from you or something?

Are you that offended by the mere notion that, hey, the fact that women aren't generally portrayed very well in the majority of games might be kind of an issue?

Seriously, explain it to me, what is the controversy?

Nobody ever said that games with strong female leads don't exist, not at all. Nobody ever said that there aren't games that portray males negatively either.

The whole point is that there are many, many tropes and plot devices that, whether they were intended to or not, portray women as objects, weak and useless, or some stereotype, etc. The problem is that these tropes are extremely prevalent and greatly outnumber the positive examples of female characters in games.
