Shouldn't we instead be looking at why people make, buy and enjoy these games? Looking at society's bias towards games where women are never portrayed as more than objects to be saved with a guaranteed reward of affection/sex.
And I will not accept the answer “it’s what sells games.†That is a fallacy. Of course in a society that doesn’t question these values, and in fact promotes them, these games are going to rise to the top.
Isn't the arguement that says "but all men are stereotyped in games too" redundant because they are for the most part represented better?
