Depictions of Women in Gaming (and other related issues)

[Mutsukki]

Well maybe your right. Provide examples outside entertainment where our society says it's okay to objectify women.

I know there's dick heads who treat women like trash. But no one says what those guys do is okay. Right?

The way I see it, just because we know violence is wrong doesn't stop bad people from being violent. And just because we know sexism is wrong doesn't stop bad people from being sexist.

But that is where we unfortunately disagree. I wish we could all agree.

That's kinda missing the point. Angie never said that society says it's ok to objectify women, not in clear print anyway. Let's try with a mild example of someone who can be objectifying women without knowing.

John is a simple guy, he likes his movies, his games, surfing the net and hanging out with friends. One day John is thinking what game he wants to buy. He sees two covers, one is war filled Call of Duty Ghosts and the other one is Grand Thef Auto V. He has seen a lot of ads for both games pasted all over town. He then choses GTAV. When asked why, he gives a simple question "Well, this one has that hot girl in it". While being completely sincere and not doing anything wrong, he just reinforced the objectifying of women without even realising it.
