Video Games Need A Woman's Touch

hattan wrote to mention an AP article going around detailing one woman's frustration with the roles for women in games. From the article: "Tara Teich enjoys nothing more than slipping into the role of a female video game character. But the 26-year-old software programmer gets annoyed by the appearance of such digital alter egos as the busty tomb raider Lara Croft or the belly-baring Wu the Lotus Blossom of 'Jade Empire.' Don't even get her started on the thong-bikini babes that the male gunmen win as prizes in 'Grand Theft Auto,' which was sent to stores with hidden sex scenes left embedded on the discs by programmers.

Hi, I don't give a fuck.

Women do not buy as many games as men.

The majority of games are bought by men.

Why the fuck do games need a woman's touch?

So I, the largest game buying demographic, cam buy a game made for someone else!?

That's fucking brilliant. Where do I sign up?
