VIRTUALVAMPIRE'S PROFILE

I mostly posted the Lightning video because I wanted to make some point about flourishy, acrobatic movements vs. "masculine" powerful, strong movements... or something.

Lightning fights like a girl. That doesn't mean anything negative. Yeah, that.

Thanks for telling us that, I was kind of getting confused.

@KingArthur You dare challenge me !!
ZAP!

Umm... This song comes to mind when I think about bad influences on young girls.

And sex is going to sell more than anything else. Natural human flaw... if it wasn't women - it would be men.

@2:16 Reminded me of Nikki Minaj

Women are portrayed like that in real life, too. By themselves. Me & my fianceé were having a LOOOOOONG debate on the subject, yesterday. Look around. Look at all the duckface whores, everywhere. Look at all the hotlegged nekkid singers, everywhere! It isn't much different with men, either, it's just that men, are, erm... Men, and as men they take the active role, being less prone to this kind of exposition. But still... And those men are reflected in media as well.
It's depressing.
But it's society's fault. Art represents life. If women are whores in real life, so will their clothing be torn off in games untill we can see the lead character's whole ovarius in HD, Full Screen with the Scan Spell upgraded to rotation Lv.3.
They just don't do with men too because the majority of gamers are still male.
And even with those who aren't, women are already used to seeing women like this on videogames. Men are not, you'd lose a major part of audience by exposing your naked "sexual deviant" male lead to fly across the screen with only a baseball bat covering his nitty bits... Oh wait they already did this.

And so has the gaming industry has officially became a sub branch of the porn industry.

EDIT: Why you'd lose? Men are homophobes, women are not.
(obviously i'm generalizing ever since the first sentence.)

EDIT: I sounded kind of like a retarded preceptual guy but that's not what I meant. No, not all women nor all men are like this. But more and more are becoming so. It's a shame, because it degenerates the image of those who aren't.
Like black robbers, muslim terrorists, gay whore-queens-that-hit-on-every-moving-thing-and-annoy-people-that-are-quiet, etc.
It's not like every brazillian likes soccer, for starters, but we will all be represented as so in the media, because soccer-loving BRs call more attention that your average non-soccer loving brazillian.

Even if it's a one in a million case, if it gets enough attention, the whole million will be represented as so and it's gonna be one hard mess to clean up.

I saw the super bowl have time show with Beyonce, I loved the show it was wonderfully choreographed, but her outfit was so so.., well there was hardly any outfit. But this kind illustrates my point on how woman are sometimes just eye candy.

Think about it, let say you have a 10 year old girl who see's this show, now she's thinking well if I can look that pretty and dress like that and sing, I can be a popular and really liked. This subconsciousness wrapping young girls mind into thinking the only way to be successful is to look pretty and sing and dance. Why cant we give @ least 1/4 of that attention to female scientists or astrologist too?

Ladies(and random men) how do you view the roles of females on TV and in games?Getting better.

How so, can you site any games?

What is your perspective on how the women are being portrayed in the media, music, and news? As a female(male with similar view points) artist, designer, gamer, etc... how do you present yourself and make your mark to/on the world?
By attempting a balance of good and bad male and female characters with equal fan service for both genders.

Cool, but what roles do you assign your male and female characters?
Is the male the typical gun/sword tanker in the game?
Do your females rely mostly on magic instead of use of weapons and skills?

Have there been times when you were recognized more for your appearance rather than skills?
This is going to happen if you're a minority. Fortunately, due to the increase of female gamers, many games will now have a focus on them, along with men - among other things.

Im a miniority too, I can relate to what your talking about.
