Interesting article about female characters in games
« on: April 18, 2003, 12:00:07 PM »
Here's a rather interesting article on the perception of females in computer games. I for one agree wholeheartedly with the writer. Whenever I play a game and a female character is presented as 90% breast and 1% brain it ticks me off instantly.

Any other opinions on this?

Nothing ofcourse, that's also not the point of the author. What she's trying to say (amongst other things) is that sexism can ruin a game if you don't expect it in a game or if it's just placed in the wrong context. Like her example of Baldur's Gate.
