I love how the solution to objectifying women seems to be to also objectify men. Amazing logic.

You're sexy when you say smart things.

Or the steamy inevitability of human sexuality reaching out to our inner nymphomaniac and begging us to ever so passionately ravage him/her in the unending quest for steamy arousal and the fruition of such sexual labors.

It's our duty to hear our inner nymph's call and albeit briefly, satisfy it's ravenous hunger for scantly clad vixens & cut from stone men!

I thought objectifying men was the compromise to objectifying women since straight men don't want to stop objectifying women, ever.

[Callisto]

That is 10000% true.

If we objectify both than no one should feel objectified. amirite?

Removing scantly clad women would be tasteless. It isn't wrong for women to get the same out of games as men do.

[Koul]

Huh. I don't get what you're saying.

I don't even know what the author of the article is trying to tell me. It just seems to me that there's too many butthurt people out there that get offended too easily. In a stupid ass gay SWTOR guild I got a warning for saying "Rape the men and kill the woman!" during a pvp match. One of the higher-ups was raped by his uncle 20 years ago and his life was completely ruined and blahblah blah blah blaaaahhhIdon'tfuckingcare. Meanwhile the dumbasses were talking about fisting and weekend orgies while coked out. What I said might've been in poor taste but if you can't pick up the sarcasm then tough luck, cry more. And no, I wasn't offended by their exaggerated sex-talk I just found it humorous that that's not offensive at all.

And sexualizing woman will never go away. Anywhere. Ever. And I think the only way to shut people up about that is to just sexualize men. Then all we gotta worry about are the prudes.

I agree. Sucks about the SWTOR bullshit by the way. I deal with that shit every day.

The sex appeal at E3 was largely overstated this year and, for the most part, had nothing to do with the video games. There was a NOS booth outside the convention center with booth babes and a tent across the street with "bikini babes" but that was largely it. Inside it was pretty tame, other than Lollipop Chainsaw of course. There were a few other random ones but it's not like it was anywhere close to an oversexed convention. The biggest amount of "booth babes" was, interestingly, Nintendo. They were just wearing moderately tight dresses.

There may be an issue with too much sex exploitation in video games but not really at E3 this year.

According to some of the devs that were on the giantbomb afterhours show, Nintendo has a long and dark past concerning scantily clad women and tying them to things. Whenever they deliver dev kits to big developers they bring them strapped to a few women. Remember the 3DS announcement and how the consoles were all strapped to a lady? Yeah.

Stay as calm as possible. If you need to blow off steam, don’t do it in conversation with the person you're trying to change.

Obviously written by a woman.

I thought this as well.

The problem does not lie with sexism in a male dominated industry. The problem lies with women that can't find self worth in their own abilities so they cry foul. They pull out the "more scantily clad men" card as kind of a childish "nuh uh, you are" play. They know that men like looking at women, but they can't come to terms with it, so they want men to have to look at other men too...

[BaneTheBrawler]

I thought the solution to the objectification of women was for everyone to just be born a woman.

[Acevalefor]

Lesbians everywhere!

What a terrible thing to say, Ace. You're claiming it's all some sort of mind game, women can't look at good looking men? Hilarious. More like men couldn't compete with their favorite heroes being sexualized for women. Their package would almost always be bigger, haha.

Not all mind game. Just mostly mind game from the women that want to change the way men look at women. And....why would I want to compete with another guy? With women, it is a competition and the claws come out any time you get a group of women together. Even friends will fight when a guy is placed into the group as an available male. I don't know why it happens, but it does. Some women feel threatened by other beautiful women. Threatened by what, I have no idea. Men do not feel threatened when faced with another good looking guy standing at a game developer's booth. So what would this suggestion of "leveling the playing field" solve? It would certainly not make the woman with low self worth feel any better about the women at the booths...it would just add something for her to look at while still feeling sorry for herself.
