57. I am not talking about photoshopped images

Feminist complain when entertainment uses female sexuality to sell entertainment to men and boys and yet rarely complain when the same is done to sell women products. My sister used to live with me when she was going to college and she used to subscribe to Women's health magazine and just about every cover image that came in every month will be considered female sex objectification by these activists that have descended on gaming. I am talking about cover pics that will give you any red blooded straight man a raging boner in mins if they are not careful. Yet that doesn't seem to bother most of these activists that are now having a war gamers and I think the difference is because of who the media is targeted at. Btw, if you have mainstream articles decrying these sort of portrayals of real women (not photoshopped ones), I want to see it.

Why assume generating corporate profit is somehow connected to patriarchy? women want to make money too, they want to run successful corporation that have a good ROI for their investors. This idea that women editors and owners of magazine using sexy female models to sell to a women audience is patriarchy is just tin foil hat thinking.

I know females read comic books, but its not the females reading the comics that are complaining. The complaint is coming mainly from outsiders who do not understand the culture, they come in and assume the females in the culture are uncomfortable and need some rescuing. This is why they always seem to get their facts wrong and take everything out of context to somehow prove misogyny in everything that they do. Btw women make up about 47% of the gaming audience only when you count facebook games and cellphone games as part of gaming. Change the numbers to console and PC gaming and they make up anywhere between 7% (WiiU buyers) to 22%
