This should be in 'Other Gaming', for a better choice of forum, for mod reference.
At any rate, yes I know what you mean. I was just reading an article the other day stating an important and interesting fact that the vast majority of developers overlook. That is, women feel objectified and repelled from gaming when it has so many woman characters that are dressed in a manner that is obviously purely for male entertainment. So, if developers started to think smart about the games they were creating, they would cut down on this type of thing. The result? More gamers, as women would also be taking part in the gaming industry more often.
No I'm not gay either, most obviously. Honestly, I LOVE IT! But that's not the point.
