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. "
google-images search for "Tara Teich" and you'll see why she's upset. That chick is fucking ugly.
The world would be a much more enjoyable place if women watched at least an hour of balanced porn a day.
Where are legislators when we need them?
Look at her fat-ass face! Does she want games that resemble her, where the heroine is a fluctuant mass of fat which just manages to displace her entity?
Alright, I'll stop. You have to admit they are a bit hypocritical, these women, I would bet they would pretty much shut up would all video game heros be masses of muscles in lycra pants. Then all the sexually insecure teenagers worldwide would shout "gaaay!" You just can't win, can you?
