Yesterday I went to my friend's house and when I got there he was playing a video game. I'm not into video games (I'll do Guitar Hero, but that's about it) so I didn't know what he was playing, all I knew was that he was shooting people. As I was watching him kill and murder, it got me thinking about video game controversies. I realize people make a big deal about violence in games, about how it negatively effects children's' minds, but the violence wasn't the thing that bothered and confused me. When I saw the women figures in the game, I was honestly shocked. All of the women were wearing pretty much the same thing: a skimpy, revealing "shirt" and skin-tight pants. Although I know the producers of this game probably only made the women like this to attract males to buy it, it still upset me. If a real life woman wore this kind of clothing and then tried to do the stuff from the video game, she would fail miserably. It's unrealistic and offensive.
How do you feel about violence and/or the exploitation of women in video games?
