Your take on representation of women in video games.

[eLdavis]

What is your take when it comes to how women are represented in video games? Over time there have been lots of talks about how most female characters are represented, they are mostly placed in the role of damsels in distress, or as sexual objects due to the kind of outfits they have on or in some cases how certain parts of their body are not in proper proportion. Do you think this issue has been sorted out over the years or is it getting worse?

To be honest with you, I am not a fan of watching video games hehe, so I cannot share my thoughts and feelings of your observations, But it must be unfair for women being the object of disgusting roles.

Really? Which means you don't play video games at all, like you have never tried anyone?

I don't play video games nowadays but had the chance to play the PlayStation and often times I don't like how women are represented in the games.
I play Mobile Legends now and have seen women wearing plunging necklines. I think because they want to gain more players, they intended to dress them that way. But I don't use those characters. If I want to use the hero, I will change their skin - they have different dresses so I can choose which I think is decent.

I also observed that. It bothers me how some games depict women inappropriately. I hope they take action to change that.
