Just because you know and acknowledge that something sells because it has a few scantily-clad innuendo-spouting titty monsters--or simply portrays a woman as a complacent housewife--doesn't mean it isn't wrong or shouldn't be fought. Women only got the right to vote because they fought tooth and nail for it.Mrsnugglesworth said:
That said, I don't think they're being really sexist here. The games are called "Cooking Mama" which I took to mean "your mother in a video game world is going to teach you how to cook." That's it. It's really not something I would be worried about.
It would only be sexist if Cooking Mama sucked. That means the developers don't care that a woman is cooking.
Yet it's hailed as a good game, so obviously they did care.
The same applies to this new game. If it's good,that means they didn't want to just make mama look weaker. They wanted to make something fun.
I don't know how to explain it. It's my logic.

This sounds familiar...
OT: Sure. It is a bit sexist. I'm okay with it. Mostly because I look at it and go "Well, the affectionate mother/wise old man character works better in this role. Yes, men can be cooks, and women can be scientists. Whoo. But if you're having a royal blast of fun, which would you prefer? The annoyingly inserted political correct figure, or the stereotypical form that we're all comfy with?
Oooooooh, Yeah! That's right, it was the subject of ridicule quite some time ago! Now I remember!oppp7 said:

It's this kind of attitude (The OP's) that allows sexism to continue. As soon as somebody does something that is not 100% you cry racism/sexism/homophobia.
You want to get rid of it? Then relax and stop getting worked up over little things, as it has already been mentioned, they are made by a different company so it's not like the company thought "women cook, men work".
As somebody else pointed out, it could be seen as just as sexist that the cooking game character is a woman and not a man but nobody cares.

It's not sexist, it's aiming towards it's core audience, which is teenage males, the vast majority whom are heterosexual.Suda51 said:
After trolling these forums for just a few months, I think it's appropriate to just say that I am sexist, and racist, and just about everything else out there, because it doesn't matter what I do, SOMEONE is going to point at me and call me evil for it.
I also kill kittens and club baby seals in my spare time. But in my defense, I was liberating them from captivity in the endangers species exhibit in the zoo. At least I have PETA on my side.
I have a new idea: Everyone that's going to call racism/sexism/lookism/ or any other discimination, don't, because I think we've gotten to the point where you're not making us feel guilty anymore. We are not going to get angry. We're going to get annoyed, turn around and leave you in 10 seconds and then forget about you in the next 5.

You know what they say... Alchemy was born in the kitchen...the antithesis said:
not really useful considering we pretty much abandoned alchemy as a lost cause long go, but still...
Do you seriously believe that Nintendo went out of their way to make a sexist statement.
No, they didn't.
It's juts a harmless game aimed at a younger audience who would imagaine these sorts of people when typically thinking of a scientist or someone who cooks.
