Want an online degree in video game design?

                 Just grab her boobs.






By the way, this is not some sarcastic picture I made it was an actual ad I came across on YouTube, sadly enough.

If they wanted more female designers in the industry, would they put the "sign up" button on a man's crotch?

This must be their other, less popular ad.

Porn ads and non-porn ads are now indistinguishable. The internet has reached its zenith.

But they usually fail hard:

Not to disagree entirely but...

mass effect is a text book of good and bad actually:


Shadow broker liara is rightly done

Okay. So I’ll confess that Liara wasn’t exactly my favorite character in the first Mass Effect. … But I couldn’t escape the feeling that she was a bit fetishized for male audiences since her innocence and youth were constantly played up and the dialogue between her and Shepard is decidedly awkward in many places.

So I was definitely pleasantly surprised at the transition Liara had apparently undergone between the first Mass Effect and ME2. Rather than being some awkward innocent pining after Shepard, Liara had come into her own as an independent character with her own goals – goals that didn’t necessarily align with Shepard’s. That was great in and of itself – it’s always refreshing to encounter female characters who have goals of their own rather than just being like I WANT WHATEVER THE HERO WANTS TEE HEE.

Not to forget that even sexualization of female is wrong because of the lack of diversity.
Remember, in game "fat" women aren't sexy, never:

But is a cliche "strong woman" (you know the type) really a better character than a cliche sex object? Both are ultimately cardboard cutouts. The fact that we applaud games for using different cardboard cutouts than other games doesn't shed a very positive light on the state of vidgames as a "storytelling medium."

[gimymblert]

Yep but that still a step up, we have many and VARIOUS male lead cut out. We need to start somewhere for good female character, and there is a lot of submissive cut out female character.

Edit: We have bland cut tout strong male character but not a lot of that for female, is it fair?
Compare the all media chart and think about how much of that there in video games.

But yeah the point being is that even on cut out board thin character wee are not even good.

No, and no more than a cliche "strong man". There should be more to the character than just the shape of their body, their armament, whatever power it is they wield, etc.

Real character comes from drama and how a character faces the challenges he/she is put through. The problem with the game industry as a whole is that they create a character to be sex sells, power sells, etc. but after they've sold it to you there is nothing beyond it.

This is less noticeable in games where the main emphasis is placed on the game play but for the games that do have story it comes across like a cheesy action movie (which can be fairly entertaining but can often feel very cliche and hollow as well).

This is not to say that all games are like that or that games that do feature common female (or male) forms are by default void of depth, but I think you've probably played enough games to know what I am getting at.

Gilbert those charts you post are always so confusing.
