VIDEO GAMES AS A FEMALE CHARACTOR ONLY!!!!!

shreikae
First off, here is an answer to your question, or rather a ton of answers. http://www.giantbomb.com/female-protagonists/3015-2287/games/ Next, and I know you will probably find me biased because I am a man; however, I have known quite a few women who have agreed. I am fully aware of the overly sexualized and sexist elements in games, as well as being able to recognize when games do not have those elements; however, have you ever stopped to think about the sexist and sexualized elements in games geared towards men? Have you ever stopped playing a game and paid attention to the body of some of the main lead male roles like in God of War, Elder Scrolls Games, Fable, quite a few MMO's, Fallout, GTA, etc? Those muscles are such an unbelievable model to live up to, no matter how hard we try (unless steroids are involved.) A lot of those characters are also scantily clad, just like the women, like Dante in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening for example. Was it really necessary to remove the undershirt? Not really, they are selling sex to women.

I have heard the argument that seeing the balloon muscles is geared towards men and not women because men want to put themselves in that place, but could that not be seen the same for the female counterparts? Do you not want to imagine yourself as a beautiful and strong female woman who can wear next to nothing, but be just as protected as someone wearing enough metal that the earth may crumble because its' foundation is removed? Since there is so much complaining, I am assuming no. Well, the same is for some of us, myself included. I do not like it in any game for any gender, but I do not let it ruin a perfectly good game for myself. If you are thinking my thoughts are this way because I am a man, then congrats, you are being sexist. Oh, and this opinion was brought to me BY A WOMAN, and I agreed with it. Oh, and your freak out about gamer-girls, a little ridiculous. It was a question asking how you could not like them. I am pretty sure it would be asked of anyone who would dislike it. It is not trying to force you to like the game, more so an explanation. Oh, and I have met MANY gamer-girls who absolutely LOVE a lot of those games. Not very hard to find really. Oh, if it is not on the list. Sarah Kerrigan of the Zerg is a lead female role, and pretty awesome.

and i dont need to explain why i didn't like those games ok ii know better than that if i explain why then i'm just going to get more haters disagreeding with me and it be a big agrument in my topics sooo no thank i try to stay away from conflicts if i would explain why then i know im going to get people posting how they disagreed with me or agreed with me but i dont want to get off topic and fight about video games ^^"

It's times like these, I wish there were an option to lock topics to prevent ppl from posting further(Although I'm doing the same lol) Maybe I'll drop the suggestion in the suggestions board if it already hasn't happened.
nightmaresweets
lol....or erase it cause i dont think this topic was a good idea...now ^^"
animeboy
^ I made the suggestion hopefully Sephiroth sees it and consider it. Side note topics like these usually spark up hot debate, so you might want to think twice before making topics like these.

i thought miaotaku would be a nice place to post but i guess not hahaha theres alot of passion for games on here so they might want to add that detail to their furture boyfriend/girlfriend soo it wont be any fighting between the games they like though cause it would suck for a girl/guy to break up with a guy/girl over their fave games usually thats not the case but in somme cases it has happen....>.> soo might wanna ask guys/girls there games first heh...to see if they have similar taste =]
nightmaresweets
i literally didnt think of games when it comes to finding love but now that i think about it it might be a good idea to ask first before getting feelings for him ^_^
animeboy
^ Well then :D That's how I feel. I'd love a girl into gaming as much as me. Start your topic and we'll see what happens I'm curious about everyone's tastes in games.
