Okay so… there’s so much to unpack here but I’d just like to focus on
- Dudes get cool costumes based off various power fantasy tropes, women get ridiculous outfits
- Apparently people in this world who aren’t white or Asian are… weird shark monsters or horrible witchdoctor tropes.
Apparently the developers over the game do know how to make a badass female character though, just they keep leaving her out of group shots:
Meanwhile the creators of the comic seem to have created a new female character just for the comic, what kind of role does she have….
This is why we can’t have nice things.

I can’t help but feel that some would say this Conan But Edgier character totally counts as “sexualized”, because he has pecs, abs and biceps on display… Or that the lady on the second cover is totally equally “barbaric” to him, so her absurd (lack of) clothing is justified. She woudln’t be even if he was actually wearing as little as her.
