A Jimquisition episode I was wondering whether or not reference here for some time now.
Will Jim’s search for a female video game protagonist who doesn’t fit the narrow criteria of gendered double standards be fruitful?

I feel the “she must be pretty” is the first step that leads to the slippery slope of over-sexualization and ends with polished gold battle thongs. It skews priorities from word go and immediately wipes out countless options before they can even be considered.

Survey Shows Even Teenage Boys Think Women Are Over-Sexualized in Video Games
Survey Shows Even Teenage Boys Think Women Are Over-Sexualized in Video Games
A survey has found that most teenage boys—despite common wisdom to the contrary—don’t want women to be over-sexualized in their video games.
This survey has been doing the rounds of the media since it got featured in this little publication called Time Magazine. For those interested in the actual research methods and data, there’s more information here at Polygon (including links to the entire presentation). They also posted a response to all the publicity here.
All in all it’s more compelling evidence to support our stance that sex does not sell anything but sex. This was something that was known (to his great disappointment) by one of the original market researches in the 1960s.
Creators, the truth is that are no shortcuts on the road to creative success, no matter what the creepy marketing guy or the person who won’t leave the comments section tell you.

So Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is really selling up their noir zombie mode where you’ll get to play:
- A stage magician in a fancy suit
- A hard boiled detective in a leather jacket with a fedora
- A boxer in his under shirt with a flatcap
- A femme fatale in some sort of cabaret outfit
I’m sure it’s just a co-incidence that all the others got actual occupations and outfits that look like something you’d wear outside. These guys know there this tv show called Agent Carter right?
