New video!

As always with HBomb’s videos, he lays down a pretty in-depth breakdown of the topic at hand, in this case – the supposed male objectification of video game protagonists and general issue of gendered false equivalence in game design.

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.
