In a lot of ways, that's worse than a direct insult because it's a much more subtle but harmful thing." Yes. 'Cause it's sexy.If you see a muscly, shirtless man in a videogame, do you feel like he is an embarrassment to men everywhere? Do you feel like you have been directly insulted?" I feel like unrealistic expectations have been set and that people are being taught to value the wrong things.

Also, I agree that the depiction of chris just makes me think his taking some HGH or steroids, he sure didn't look like this in Code Veronica. Seriously, why is this in the game? Different costumes are cool and all but make it make sense, not just have a horny japanese guy say, lets put her in a bikini fighting zombies. It is not about whether one has an objection to seeing the bikini, but the purpose of it. Also, the fact that these women are presented this way can be compared to how models are presented as having super small waists and huge boobs, an unrealistic depiction of what a woman in real life looks like and makes a statement about what a hero looks like, this case, sheva.
The fact that lots of Japanese game companies will put out games where the only women are super toned and have huge boobs and are wearing bikinis or school girl shirts that are tied to their waist or have a jumpsuit where somehow their breast still have to show, it just makes us as males gamers look bad because it tells others that thats what we want to see. It has a broader scope as to the fact the the way women are depicted determines if it is sexist.
My definition is a bit looser than most guys, I do agree." I agree, you guys are pretty narrow minded if you think it is about people being offended by seeing a woman in a bikini or that it says something about men being superior. Making a fake lady with big boobs is not the same as "You are a woman, so I am immediately better than you.""If a woman doesn't like the depiction and feels degraded by it (sometimes it's a bit iffy but often it is overboard) that is the definition of sexist. Girls don't walk around dressed like sluts in the real world (most) and to justify such a decision in games by saying "cuz most gamers are males," makes me sick to be a male."You have a loose grasp of what sexism is, then. Guys like to justfiy it by saying it's natural but the fact is, there is a huge difference between something sexy and something sexist.
