um, that IS the issue. How women are treated in videogames, which translates into reinforcing of social norms. Not that women are or are not in video games.
Did you actually watch the whole series?

You can change the status-quo of characters in video games without anything changing in everyday society.

My frustrations in street fighter vs an overpowered cammy has forced me to start every engagement with the opposite sex with an opening fireball for zoning purposes. Just to see how they react.

well I'm not going to argue it's appeal to a male, who doesn't want to be the hero! it works because it is effective, no doubt about that.

everything permeates social development
I'm not saying that Double Dragon made kids into wife beaters, or that GTA has taught us all unlock our inner psychopaths, but they certainly have an element of desensitization.

Desensitization, cheese.. I'll tell you what, the moment they stop using "terrorist", "threat", "national security" and "Muslim bombing" every 2nd sentence in the media, every day, every newscast, then we can address a bloody video game.
It's life, it's reality. And the reality is that sometimes women will need men's help, and vice versa.

remember there are two kinds of feminists, the type that don't like to be thought of as objects, and those that think everything that's wrong with their life is the fault of men.
there are more of the latter, and I know a few, and I don't particularly like them as people.
Also, Braids, I hope that YOU drown, in your own piss, for no particular reason.

In all srsness n fairness to op tho, women/girls are typically typecast in terms of role/character created for video games. I dont personally see it as a problem but i do acknowledge the fact that i can understand why there are some miffed female gamers out there too pushing for a 'change' in male gaming mentality and the big wig producers of mainstream games

Ya but there's games like tomb raider where men are useless and the almighty lara croft saves the day. That's why I lean towards thinking this is a typical 'but what about women!?' topic.
And movies, fuck, there's so many powerful female characters saving men.. the fuck they complaining about...
And that's the difference between a regular human and a dirty feminist. I can watch a movie in which a guy is portrayed as useless and needs help from the almighty powerful woman and I'll find it entertaining. The feminist will watch a movie in which the roles are reversed and will bitch and moan and go to city hall.
