Misogny:The Pre-Patch

Funny Story: One time I accidentally left the window of our apartment open and one of my cats fell out of it. He landed on his face (One his face mind you). 
He was so freaked that he pried open the screen on the window below of our apartment and hopped in. He then preceded to cuddle with the tenants that lived there. 
They thought he was a raccoon and sprayed him out of the window. He then went to the adjacent window, pried open that screen and hopped in. 
The tenant of this apartment had multiple cats so they assumed my cat was their so they fed, cleaned his face and cuddle with. It was when their other cats came when they realized my cat wasn't theirs. They brought our cat back to us later that day and I took him to the vet shortly after. 

I often make the joke that my cat has a bigger criminal record than I do because he committed breaking and entering twice.

The food is great! 
The internet is thriving!
The President is..
The food is great!
And what a great time to be a gamer.

So many AAA games have fallen through the cracks in the last decade.

I'm looking at you No Man's Sky. I bought an ENTIRE console just for you.


But those who have been able to stand the test of us picky, picky gamers, I applaud you. You're the real MVPs. 


Primal Rage was one of the first games I never played. 
I've played my fair share of video games. Since the mid-90s I've been button mashing and playing sweaty fighting games with my friends. 

It wasn't until I got older when I started to realized that women in video games were just a tad bit misrepresented.

Scratch that.

Holy big tits batman. 

Seriously. 
You could build a small village on her chest.


We've all seen this in past video games as well as present ones. Women in video games are way too sexualized. Often times the women are wearing next to nothing for some ungodly reason.
They are often seen as helpless creatures simply waiting for someone (i.e a man) to save them.
      

What the hell is this?

But why? 

Why does the video game industry create such sexualized female characters. It's obvious that sex sells, but is it equally distributed between males and females?

Of course not.

This heavily sexualization of female characters takes a priority of the sexualization of male characters in video games. 

Women lead roles  also take a backseat in AAA video games as well. 

As mentioned before, this does not stop at the software, it spans throughout the industry. We'll begin with a few big waves of controversy among the video game industry.
