Oh, and just to be clear, there are women with very "extreme" bodies in real life too (Norma Stitz being the best example).ĭoes you really want diversity, or just body-shaming?Īnd please don't come with that "I play games to see myself". Sorry to say that, but you are not doing a good job.ģ) If you search well, you can find games with body diversity, like the Inazuma Eleven and Pokémon games, and even SoulCalibur (especially after the 3rd game, which allows you to create your own characters).Īnd they seem to complain EVEN WHEN THE GAME HAS BOTH MALES AND FEMALES WITH EXAGGERATED PROPORTIONS! Like, seriously? What about all the fucking gender equality you always wanted!? Yet, even the women seem to ignore all of these, this if they even know those games actually exist. Guess which one will have more views?Ģ) Yes, there are games destined to the female audience, do you want some examples? Well, here we go: Women in Video Games" videos to the ones responding and deconstructing what it's showed on them.
And the few times they are actually remembered, nobody gives a shit, they completely ignore them! Videos like "Why Bayonetta is a sexual object" gain a lot more views than "Top 10 best female characters in gaming", and when I say a lot, I DO MEAN A LOT! Just compare the "Tropes VS. Those are the arguments I hear the most, and oh girl they are so wrong!ġ) Yes, there are other types of females in media as a whole, but people only focus on the sexualized ones! Everyone talks about Mai Shiranui and Chun Li, but nobody seems to remember Nakoruru and Ibuki, nor games like Magical Pop'n or Monster World IV (16-bit platform games protagonized non-sexualized, non-submissive girls). However, before publish it, I want to know something.Īs someone who writes fanfiction since 2013 and plans to be a game developer, there's a thing that always make me extremely confused: the complaints about how females (yes, I use the technical term) are portrayed in video games, or media as a whole.Įvery time I see or enter on a discussion related to this subject, it's always the same thing: people complaing, complaing, and complaing, with a obvious lack of knowledge about the subject, since they say thing like "every single woman in treated like a sexual object and/or useless sidekick in video games", "there are no games for girls" and "there is no body diversity".
Originally this was going to be a YouTube video, but as I don't have equipment to record and edit the video, I decided to transform it in a blog post.
