Gaming and Sexism

[Koh]

Does it not also happen to male characters though? Think about it... The over-feminine looking guys for the fangirls to go wild over, guys that hardly wear much of anything as well, and etc. I'm aware that the role reversal of that is far more prominent, but this is an additional point that bothers me; many activists make it sound like it doesn't happen to male characters at all, which would be untrue. The thing is, though, even when games like that are made, they probably don't sell as well as the reversal. The most important thing to remember is that, above anything else, the gaming industry is a business designed to make a lot of money. They're obviously going to choose the route that nets them the most income.
