        Doubt that’s going to be enough, I think if you want to make a sexually objectifying 90s magazine ad that appeals to female nerds you’re going to have to break out the homoerotic innuendos

        People used to bring up Kratos in these discussions but before these new games he seemed far more likely to bite someone’s face off than to kiss anyone. There’s a difference.

      I’d rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it’s silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

        I think there is space for both sexualized and non-sexualized characters, as long as they are treated evenly. This is entertainment, they don’t need to be all business serious.

        I dread that in trying to be perfectly respectable, the medium might err to the side of prudishness and sexual repression.
