Will Overwatch ever get new male heroes?
#18
Having characters be sexualized isnt the problem, it's the MASSIVE imbalance in what female and male roles are in gaming (hardly any characters are female, the ones that are are often essentially props for male characters/cheap fanservice, and even fewer games have female protagonists). These reflect onto society's ideals for women, which is reflected in media, and the cycle continues until it's intentionally broken. If there were just as many fleshed out female characters as there are male (or for that matter just as many sexualized males as there were females) no one would have a problem with an occasional sexualized female, but there's not, and so the fact that "sexualized female" is one of the only real archetypes female characters fit into is a problem.
