Good luck on your career King U Mad.

Feminists have to ruin everything.

can't really say i like overly sexualized characters
but i've got no problem with them either

and the market for it will not go away anytime near future
i don't really care as long as the developers are allowed to do what the hell they want with their games

Thank you. The females that stream on Twitch, that very obviously show their cleavage, make me sick. It is a huge slap in the face to anyone who actually provides a good channel without having to objectify themselves, because, ya know, they're actually there to play games and ENTERTAIN people. I swear, so many channels that are worthy of viewers get overlooked, while channels with clueless, pretty girls get thousands of viewers --who eventually PAY them to continue being clueless and pretty-- when they don't deserve them.

When I find a female streamer who is dressed like a normal person, with the camera pointed at her FACE rather than her chest, I breathe a sigh of relief. It's good to know that at least a few people haven't lost their dignity; though, I'm sure those who disagree with me will give me plenty of reasons why pointing a webcam at a woman's chest is completely dignified.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

aren't females like half the gamer population now? would be pretty dumb nowadays to isolate.

if you're going to sexually exploit...have candy for both genders! all l ask :<

Can't imagine it working the same for male characters can you imagine the next duke nukem running around in a jock strap i can't and i don't want to.

Idk about exploitaion such a harsh word and all that but for me imo games have always been about playing in a world where things that would not normally happen...happen.

Like Tomb Raider I mean i dont know bout you but the likelihood of seeing a female wearing a tight shirt and wearing short shorts in the real world is unlikely.

So I dont really mind if developers wanna pushing the boundaries wether there are big chested flat chested ill most likely still buy and play the game.

I'm floored by the comments here. I thought it was common knowledge that traditionally, female characters in games have been overly saturated with a sexual design or approach. But I just see Melonie being told she's off base. Saying the male characters are the same thing with abs and armor LOL that;s hilarious to me.

If there is a demand, then by God there will be a supply. Games were created by men, and has had a high male following. And it is also an Industry were it's main focus is fantasy (be it war-simulator to alternate realities). This is an industry I've seen where Freedom of Speech is at its Zenith. So many games coming out for a variety of different people. There are a fare amount of sexualized women, but that's just a small pique of the bigger spectrum.

Although, I would also like to see "less desirable" main characters in AAA games. You know, chubby, not good looking; characters that are messed up, not just mentally, but physically. Relateable characters are pretty cool. Heavy Rain had a fat detective and it was pretty cool. I'd like to play as a fat Lara Croft, like I was able to play a fat Nathan Drake in Uncharted

Oh great here we go again.

Melonie is cute

This girl is a complete sellout. I unsubbed her ages ago, half of her videos is just promotional crap

Lets not mention the men in Dragon's Crown with impossible propotions

People are still moaning about drawings like they're real... subject is getting boring now.

For sure there are a lot of female game developers, writers and even game producer/directors..

..probably tell about your dilemma to them.

Sex sells whether it be an attractive/ugly man, woman, gay person, androgynous or whatever form of gender/sexual preference your into.

Sexual exploitation is necessary if it is needed; if it's not, then throw it away.

Ellie in 'The Last of Us' and Lara Croft in the newest 'Tomb Raider' are not sexualized. However, they can still look both hot and powerful in their own ways.

That's what I believe.

I watched the video. Your example of the change in bazooka girl from DMC 3 and DMC 4, yes I see an increase in breast size and her posture in DMC 4 is more about flaunting her body whereas in DMC 3 she looks like she just wants to kick ass. However I haven't played those games so I can't say much more than that.

It is still possible for that character to be a badass and beast mode with the bazooka even with her increased breast size, but not having played the game I don't know how she plays out in it. She could even be using her body as a strategy against men, deceiving them into thinking she's a sextoy, and when they let their guard down she murders them.

Nice job melonie keep it up

how can we play Skyrim without it?!

Of coarse a FEMALE bickers about this. She's just mad because she's flat :)

JUST WATCHED YOUR VIDEO VERY INTERESTING, AND IT'S A CRYING SHAME THAT GAMING IS GOING THAT ROUTE MORE AND MORE WITH FEMALE CHARACTERS.

The typical sexist brigade who NEVER have anything to say when it is MEN who are objectified in the media or video games...they always act like it goes only one way.

The same brigade who NEVER has anything to say when WOMEN's magazines (written by women FOR women) objectify women in so many different ways. Not a word is ever spoken. The same brigade who LOVES to ignore the fact that it is mainly WOMEN who put undue pressure on other WOMEN to be a certain size and to look a certain way - not men.

I'm still yet to find a MAN who finds any of those size 0 - 6 models on women's magazines attractive. But yet women everyday are striving to look like that...what could be the reasoning behind that?

And do answer the question, why is it that you see no problem with male objectification? is it more likely that when you scream "sexism" you're really just screaming "I'm insecure"?

The last episode of the Final Bosman on GT kind of looked at this topic as well and I think both are correct. There are so many issues with this and also stuff like sexual preference and identity, races, religion, and looks in general.

Sometimes I'm surprised that in this industry that used to be made of and by nerds and weirdos and outsiders, people that care more about personalities, stuff like that is still very often treated in a dumb way, an offensive and disrespectful way very often and that the core audience is still this white young straight male or at least the typical stuff young guys want, hot chicks and a hero they'd want to be. It's really frustrating and uncreative and I'm very thankful that in recent years more and more people are trying to change that, small devs and even big studios (like ND with The Last Of Us). There's still a lot of work to do here though.

Clickbait, think of something original next time.
