Should sexism be labeled in videogames?

If a game portrays women in a sexist fashion (see pic related), should it then be forced to carry a label telling the consumer it has sexist content?

How is a video game sexist for having sexy characters? Do women actually feel oppressed over this shit?
>>
>>131476549
Yes, because if you did that people would feel too ashamed to buy it. That would decrease the amount of sexist content.

Also, that girl has a really plump ass.

>Do women actually feel oppressed over this shit?

Women hate any other woman, or depiction of another woman that might be considered more attractive than them.
It's a fact.
>>
>>131477225
Depends on their portrayal. If you look at OP girl, she's supposed to be a mercenary. How is that a fitting outfit for a mercenary? Plus, shouldn't a mercenary be athletic?

That's what make it sexist.

The only women that complain about this are the ugly ones with no redeeming features. The women these characters are based off of, and voiced by love the attention and are homered to be portrayed as a sexy waifu. Women want attention and if they don't get it they shame it, IE personification of sour grapes.

>>131476549

given that the actual definition of sexism is treating one sex differently than the other, it would be redundant as every single game that has a male and a female in it would be sexist
>>
>>131477798
No, women want respect. OP girl is dressed like that only because her entire purpose is to please the heterosexual male eye.

That's the sexism.

Plus, as I said, she lacks muscle tone for a mercenary, but because muscle tone isn't considered sexy on a woman.

Because That worked out so well for Jack Thompson. Nicht!

It's about the context, retard. Why would a mercenary show off her bare ass?
>>
>>131477225
Some women hate it, others love it or have no problem with it. The problem with feminism is they can't agree on anything. One feminist will say stripping is objectifying women, another will say stripping is empowering women. This is why they should just be ignored most of the time, you are never going to be able to make everyone happy.

Reduce weight wind resistance and other causes of drag, its like you have never once seen Aeon Flux.

Any normal woman doesn't hate it. All my girlfriends have never had any issue with sexy characters in video games or movies. In fact, they want their avatars in the game to look pretty/sexy.

In guild wars 2 there's a massive variety of armours you can wear, my ex always wore fucking bikini armours with flowy dresses and butterflies and shit.

They don't want practical, they want pretty.

Don't ban anything.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. If enough people agree, this crap will just become too expensive to produce. We already tried banning booze and porn. This just made the mob rich.

The problem is that humans are hard-wired for sex, and there are a lot of them.

However, the sex & population problems are already being addressed with various chemicals and memes to go along with them (e.g. xenoestrogens and transgenderism are two peas in a pod). Homosexuals don't procreate, feminized men aren't aggressive and generally don't try to compete with those already within a given power structure, women on 10x more estrogen than nature procures are histrionic nutcases who don't want sex, and are surprisingly easy to control in the context of their own delusions.

The result is that, in the near future, no action will need to be taken. Society is already well on its way to being completely neutered.

If content labels need to be on vidya, they need to be on all media across the board. This could include books, movies and toys. I think that is only fair.

So what? The 360 is fucking awful.

I'm still playing with my PS2, once I get a degree and a job maybe I will get a ps3, and once I'm done with that a PS4, by the time I'm done with those consoles I will be like 7 consoles behind the normies like you.

Yes, it would make it easier for me to shop for games with the type of eye candy I want to see.

What's more sexist, cartoon depictions of attractive women, or shaming men into silence for daring to create those cartoons?

Men have a right to want what they want, and in the majority of cases, what they want isn't a butter golem. Their art reflects that.

All the censorship in the world will never change this.

Also, it's a fucking cartoon. It's art. Whether or not her outfit or physique are appropriate for her cartoon job is irrelevant.

Open up any video game that girls play, where they are allowed to dress their own character. THEY choose to wear the skimpy outfits, all by themselves.

No it isn't. Normies throwing down 60 dollars on a new game wants to play as a fucking cellulose ridden cow. It's not sexist when male characters are ripped is it?
You don't need some nanny system to tell you to be offended by nothing you fucking faggot.

>>131478217

Nah b, respect is so fucking low on the average hoe's totem pole that it's almost a non issue. Being pampered and attended to 24/7 is the ideal, and only uggos decide to settle for respect.

>>131476549
no, video games should be able to apply for something like a bechdel test with an appropriate label to hand out.
There's no need for a special marker on perfectly ordinary video games with no special features.

Yes they should, so that I have it easier to buy sexist games.
>>
>>131476549
I don't think so.
Also SJWs are laughable because if people didn't want such games, they wouldn't buy them.
