It seems there is bingo.
What do you think about? Why bad girls in games always have armor bikini? Developers thinks that it explains why bad girls always loose? I have no idea. How about you?
This is horrifying even for Games Workshop! (And not in the good way)
There are three major reasons why “bad” girls are more likely to strut around half naked than “good” girls. Sadly none of them have anything to do with the likelihood of defeat:
- Coding. Having good female characters dress modestly and bad ones dress in sexualised attire gives a clear visual representation of who has what values (and encourages us to vilify girls who dress sexy and not feel bad for them when bad things happen to them)
- Opportunity. Bad girls are the ones the player will fight per se, and as such provide the opportunity to combine sex and violence for “heightened” thrills (to save them having to work out a way to make the situation interesting).
- Fear of Women. Many people still buy into the absurd notion that beautiful women have amazing power over men, an easy shortcut to tap into these fears is to depict a ruthless and attractive woman who flaunts her sexuality (usually juxtaposed with a non-threatening, approachable good girl who just wants to take care of you)
All of which can be summed up with the single master reason: Because the people who make this stuff are lazy, unimaginative and do not respect women.
