GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH: SEXUALITY IN BAYONETTA (AND OTHER GAMES)

EDIT: Unnecessary. I think I've exhausted myself on this issue.

I should warn you, my post could be reported, so Imma gonna post some boobies.

well i try not to dwell on how "bad" the current situation is because it's just the way things are and look at the bright side there are always at least a few normal female characters created by men like Samus, Jade, Iji, etc

so i was just going to make some asinine comments about "oh um perhaps it would help a little if there were more female game producers who can do what they like, look at Phantasy Star, that was a cool game produced by a woman with a normal female lead character" and "oh look Bulletstorm was produced by a female, isnt that cool" but then i read the top comments on a video of an interview with that producer, Tanya Jessen and it kind of put me in a bad mood and

i hate this world guys i really do

now i want a dick bra

How did Tanya Jessen get her job? I don't mean to insinuate she doesn't deserve it, I just mean, how did she get it? Like, I'm not being misogynistic, this is more about her age than her gender. She's like, in her early 30s at most, since she graduated college in 2002 with a BA in freaking political science (which according to my friend with a degree in political science is exactly as useless as a degree in creative writing) and six years later she's producing GoW 2?

Am I the only person who thinks that's nuts!

she just made some jiggly jiggly with the guys from bulletstorm and got the job

I wouldn`t mind oversexualized women in games or media in general, if we could se the same for guys, I believe in equal treatement.
The difference is that while women don't really care much about women being oversexualized in games, men definitely don't like oversexualized male characters in their games, I think it has to do with a much bigger subject that involves general male sexuality, and our own insecurities. Men are taught to run away from a sexualized male, becuase otherwise they would be considered gay, and that's completely stupid, I mean one thing is to not be attracted to another guy, and a different thing is to not being able to look at one. Women can hold eachothers' hands, say how pretty they think the other one are, and they are not considered gayer for doint it. But because guys don't allow themselves to do that because they fear they might be considered gay (and probably would) they reject any form of closer contact, and for the same reason they would run from a game with a sexualized male character.
ON the other hand I'm a gay male speaking so my view might differ form yours, but I'm pretty sure about what I'm saying. I don't like women sexually, but I don't run away from a vagina picture, but I've seen men run away like children when a shirtless man appears, it's really weird.
