Skin tight outfits are actually typical dress for black ops. see metal gear solids one and two. black widows outfit. etc etc etc etc

A tux like hes wearing would most likely rip at the arms shoulders and crotch after such a fight or even just crouching so the whole controversy of the trailer is more overreaching to paint a borrible picture of the industry as a whole.

Remember its escapism not you know. emulation or simulation.

Because sexy is THE ONLY thing that they are. They are never portrayed as just a person and like the victim in the short skirt that is all the hateful cop sees because he is tuned by the media to think women are nothing but tits and ass and not actually people.
What's wrong with being portrayed as a sexy person? Why does 'sexy' automatically override 'person'?
Because they don't have a personality of their own they are just there to pose and act sexually for the guys.

It's called pandering.

Cops see things day in and day out. Male or female cops sometimes start out as white knights and become jaded as the days wear on.

just saying not condoning anything.

If I felt any sympathy for this woman, I might care. She just got payed 160 grand to make a shitty documentary pointing out the obvious, with no useful ideas on how to fix it. She can take some internet butthurt. However, it's not her fault, it's the fault of the people who donated.

I gave an example of his argument your response was to say that men must be sexualised because they have their shirts off!. >_>

I'm done for tonight, but I combat your claim that Lara Croft is less of a character because, despite being a strong female heroine she is sexualized, with this picture of my favorite male hero, Solid Snake.

Yeah one example which no women find attractive, well done! I'm not even going to justify the tuxedo thing with a response. You really think a tuxedo is the same as bondage gear? :|
You're absolutely full of shit if you don't find Solid Snake sexually attractive.

I'm 99% sure I'm heterosexual and I find that son of a ***** the sexiest man alive.

Also, that's a completely bullcrap general statement that NO women find Solid Snake's tight booty attractive. Just like it's completely inappropriate for you to imply that I find every single sexualized video game character sexually attractive simply because I'm a dirty, perverted, one-track minded sexpig. I mean a man.
That was a bit of a generalization but seriously I have never seen like Solid Snake fangirls anywhere at all :/ I personally don't find him attractive at all.

I don't think men are pigs and I wonder why you aren't insulted that the gaming industry thinks you really like sexy nun assassins that make no sense.

Creating a female character designed specifically to meet your quality standards of female character design would too be considered pandering.

So pandering is only okay when it works in your favor?
Pandering is okay when its not totally sexist and offensive. :p

There not THAT nonsensical people are making it out like they were completely naked I mean its a matter of context and any hitman fan will tell ya that those chicks totally fit.

The trailer was harmless and yeah if i needed a sneaking suit cheap some tight leather might be the way id go. also sexy distracts its harder for men to kill some women I know it would be for me. am I sexist for that weakness? maybe but i make no apologies.

In any case who cares when the game comes out kill those bitches make a hooray for sex negative feminism and lets all move on to somethin else.lol

Sex sells, and it doesn't care about gender.
Just because sex sells doesn't mean women should have to be portrayed as sex objects 99% of the time.

Like other guys have pointed out here a character can be sexy and have a personality too.

I like Lara Croft for example, I have never said I didn't, she is part of the reason I got a first in Ancient Egyptian studies in my history BA.

But the fact is that all that was focused on where her boobs. Nobody actually thought of her as a person or a fun character. Instead she was posed in FHM and disrespected.

Even now when you talk about her to non gamers or people who have little experience with games all people will say was 'Oh that one with the big boobs'

It's really irritating. It would be nice to have a female character like her who hasn't got the distraction of being a bit of hyper sexualised fap material draped over her like slime.

I ask you, why don't you find Solid Snake attractive?
He's a smoker, and that turns me right off. Plus, he's sterile, so I can't exactly be his baby daddy.. And the whole "planned obsolesence, rapid aging, going from 'who's your daddy' to 'old enough to be your grandfather' in no time flat" situation.
But he's so dreamy and idealistic... at least until the 4th game, where he has become completely jaded and cynical.
Solid Snake really doesn't do anything for me. I have no idea why. I've never thought of him that way actually :S
