Obviously its no bad thing, otherwise we wouldnt have the increase in female gamers that we have going on now.
I know its not necessarily the case over here in Europe, but in Japan for sure, female gamers are just as common as male gamers (And they wonder why the Xbox never took off in Japan!), and if anything, the prettier and sexier female characters (And male characters for that matter), the more female (Or male) gamers want to be them and look like them, hence CosPlay being SO popular in Japan.
The reality is that everyone loves great looking female characters... even the female gamers at the best of time... except when it gets stupid in games such as GTA... and games on the Xbox! lol
Many girls like games such as Nintendogs and The Sims, aww how cute and cuddly, and look at what our house could be (Not trying to be stereotypical here!), while not rejecting all other games completely - However, the theory of slut designed female characters are seen highly in the likes of GTA and a fair few games on the Xbox, such as the many FPS titles, which are made purely for mens enjoyment, because developers know its not going to be a smash with the ladies anyways, so why bother trying!
1.y'know if you said that to well most girls i know they would probably kill you...
2.wow very anti xbox and you dont knock the ps2 itself because ? it has more fps titles it prides itself on gta PRIDES !!! there both just as bad as each other but fps are not the problem i know alot of girls who think halo rulz and the bond series. this is about sexism in character's not the initial games...
P.S: so no one here believes the likes of that playboy game could be slightly worse than pso...
