Genderplay in Videogames

thenovacrisis writes "Game Girl Advance has an interesting article about the various female characters in videogames. She talks about the important balance between alienation and identification, the Aesthetics of Sexy Girls, and various MMORPGs. An interesting read for all." A lot of games are compared, and issues raised. Good food for thought for character design.

    Women are not sexual tools

    I am gonna say this not as an AC. This is pure bs. Woman, what on earth is in your mind ? Women are sexual tools/toys for men, as much as men are sexual tools/toys for women!!! what are you thinking during the sexual act ? are you thinking of how to maximize pleasure from what you are experiencing or not ? so how come your boyfriend is not a sexual tool when you are doing it ? as always, women use double standards to judge situations. Right at the moment that you and your girlfriends stand in the corner of the mall gossiping about the belly of Jim, the strong thighs of Jack, the big hands of John, you are using them as a tool. I don't blame you, but I see no difference in what I am doing. And, I have to admit, sometimes all I want from a woman is her body. Yes sir, I admit it. After I get laid, I want to do other things, completely unrelated with my female companion.

    So, to end this silly debate, boys make games for boys featuring busty dolls, and damn right they do because it is a healthy thing to do!!! boys like to see busty dolls, and that's a fact. If you want games inclined towards women, feel free to do so!!! grab a PC with Linux and start coding and we shall see what comes out.

    Sorry for the harsh tone but some things need to be said early because the moment we get asexual games I am back in playing Tomb Raider III.
