Anonymous asked: Okay you might have a point with with classic female heroins but then i msut ask aren´t women allowed to be sexy then? do they always have to be conservativ to be a protagonist? i think it´s very narrow minded to claim them to be just male toys, specialy if there are women who jsut want to look sexy because the heck of it. there is nothing wrong with sexy as long it not just there like pantie shots in anime. these heroins still kick ass ad whats so bad about that?

I’m sorry I forgot to make that point before I hit Reblog.

BEING sexy is not the problem here. Not at all. MY gripe with sexy female video game characters (think Dead or Alive girls, pre-reboot Lara Croft from the 90’s, Bayonetta, etc.) is the fact that they were made specifically for men to drool over. They’re usually not created because someone wanted to represent sexy strong women. Nope. Chances are, they were made to get the attention of horny straight males and fucking keep them there. But to these same men, these women are good enough examples of female representation in games. This is silly to me.
