Maybe everyone should recognize that if female video games characters are being objectified, its because theyre literally objects, and that every second a guy spends inside playing some video game full of tits is a second theyre not out in the real world creeping out actual women?

I mean i dont understand why tits in video games are so bad, or such a big deal, or even merit any discussion at all when the internet contains like 8000 civilizations worth of actual hardcore pornography. And those are real women!

Kinda late to the party, but I'll still way in. I will admit, I look at boobs as often as they are presented, clothed or bare, and I probably won't stop any more than I'll stop looking at a cute guy's butt. The difference here is that I look, maybe stay on for a second, then move on. I acknowledge they exist, and, unless they belong to my partner, continue with whatever I'm doing. I don't make any assumptions about the woman I just ogled, other than "Her back probably hurts" if she's well endowed like the author. But, then again, despite all the issues I have, I tend to be more interest in what a person is trying to say than what parts of them are jiggling.

I hate that some of my favorite characters in video games (Taki and Ivy in Soul Calibur, Cammy from Street Fighter, Far Cry 3's Citra, etc) are strong, assertive, powerful women, and yet they all tend to share a certain cup size. It took almost 2 decades just to get Lara Croft to turn from cheesecake to hero, and I don't see that trend catching on any time soon, because producers seem to think we're all 13, and can only get interested in an otherwise great game (Far Cry, Devil May Cry, Fable, half the characters in Skyrim, and Final Fantasy) if they don't add eye candy into the mix, and God help us all if we get a female protagonist with a chest that can't be seen from the ISS…

This is all driven by fiat money. Talk to any advertising pro and they will tell you that 75% of effective ad revenue goes to women's eyeballs. Women like to shop 75% more than men. As a result, 75% of your tv shows and movies are made for women. Videogames do not have ads, hence videogames are a male medium. This is consumer culture by design. Alpha male billionaires own all the major media companies, but they fund the feminist non-profits, so they are never put in the misandry spotlight. As a result the beta male worker bees are cheap easy targets of ridicule in mass media. Deciding to opt out of the playing field funneled to the 1%, the beta males plug into the fantasy world of videogames and pron. If the beta male choads ever decided to unplug, they would be in the streets burning the homes of the billionaires and taking their daughters. But don't worry, your chinese overlords are arriving now to buy up all remaining real estate, retail outlets, and universities! ??????
