When I hear the argument about the sexualization of a character in a game, I can’t help but roll my eyes. I understand that we all have our different views and opinions when it comes to different topics, see my Hunipop 2 article. So when I saw that DOA 6 was going a different direction because of feminist and their views on how females are portrayed in video games, I again, couldn’t help but roll my eyes. But the real tipping point to me writing this article was when I watch a Dragon Quest XI review by IGN (I know, that was my first mistake) and the person reviewing it deducted points for it sexualization of female characters, one example he pointed out was a bunny suit side quest. This has been a problem when it comes to media as a whole and I truly don’t get it.





Okay, maybe it’s because I’m a cis male so I can’t understand it, but I never truly saw feminist problem when it came to this. When a guy is put into sexy clothing or half naked, I never really hear guys complaining that their being sexualized. I understand that girls and guys bodies are different and girls are seen differently sexualy, but the point still stands. And what’s the problem with a game character dressing up sexy? Are you slut shaming that girl for wanting to dress up in a bunny suit mister IGN review? You piece of shit!
