I know it was to spread awareness but was it just her speaking out or was she going to fund the development of a game with female protagonist without sexualizing them or making it "pink"?iirc most of it was just for better recording gear. Apparently in her older videos, she had a pretty bad mic and camera. Looks more professional now.
Quote:Personally I feel like making a game would be more productive.But she's doing a critique. Why would you make a video game to critique video games?
Besides, making a game that would be well-received would cost quite a lot. There are quite a few [good] games out there already with a female protag, but the problem is that they're almost all indie games.
Quote:Because seeing a female with nothing but a bra and underwear will be see as sexualize but a male in only boxers or briefs won't be. (I think, I am male though...)Women are mostly portrayed like that to play onto straight men fantasies. Even though around 40% of gamers are female now, the AAA industry is mostly catering to guys.
If guys were sexualized the same way women were in video games, you'd prolly see a bunch of homophobic comments. :V
