It’s nice that people care about how females are portrayed in games and other fiction, but I can’t stand the idea of a revolution in video games where all females are “realistically sized” (according to whom?), strong, wise and otherwise badass. Not sure if the author of this would desire this extreme, but I do know a number of people who seem to desire this, and I find the idea colorless. I know men are still considered to be a more privileged group, so maybe we can’t ask ourselves this, but I will–How many males in video games and other fiction are bad role models, or steroid cases? It’s not as big of an issue, but boys need good role models, too. But should we make more of our characters morally upright, average bodied smart people? No. We explore what we aren’t through fiction. And we can decide for ourselves what is good and bad in what we experience. Why must we portray certain groups with overcompensating sensitivity? Why can’t we just go nuts with creativity when making something and not have to deal with great controversy? There are more game developers making more “cool” females, good for them! I appreciate these characters when done well. But I’ll never buy a game for that sort of character over one with designs I find more interesting and eye catching.

When controversy appears after a creative work is released, it’s funny to see how much more attention it brings to something. Some artists and developers wish for this or may benefit from it.

Anyway, so what if Sorceress has big boobies. I’d prefer to see them more covered in real life, but this is a video game and she can do whatever she wants with them there.
