How is it misogyny then when it doesn't involve hatred or mistrust of women and is nothing more than entrepreneurs using human nature to their advantage and when the exact same thing occurs vice versa?
I feel feminists feel they speak for all females and feel empowered by that false assumption. I agree with you, Notch.Just because a girl can show sexiness, that doesn't have to define her character. You want an example, Verb, take Tifa and compare her to Quiet.There is a difference when a character happens to be sexy while portrayed as a character with depth, as compared to a character who's ONLY sexy and that's all she has going for her.Edit: I'd also like to add that Quiet annoyed me BECAUSE of the blatant fanservice that overshadowed a character who had potential. And the fact Kojima basically said "lol when you find out WHY, you'll feel silly!"
Well, it's clearly not black and white, right? That's why feminists use terms like "problematic"--to describe depictions of women that are getting there, but still fall short in other aspects--like Tifa, like Bayonetta.

Anyone who's played or understands both those characters happen to know it fits their personality or playstyle or whatever. It's not their clothes that define who they are, or what they are.And even if a female in games is ready to show a little leg, I don't think it should be instantly condemned. It's not the middle east if you ask me, women can be allowed to show themselves a little if they so choose so.
In gaming media probably not. However I'm not one so quickly to jump on this bandwagon saying all the men developers are devils and deserve to be purged 40k style.It's either one extreme or the other it seems when it comes to that stuff.

Rockstar as a publisher, but they're still shit as a dev too
