Yet another one!
"Females want to look heroic, and that's a fine thing. They don't want to be hypersexualized."
It is funny to me that women don't want to play games pretending to be a hot redhead with great boobs and a perfect ass when so many male nerds in the universe love to assume the role of some buff blonde hunk shooting everything in sight. What is wrong with this picture? Are we just ashamed to pretend?
I went to have a massage this week -- my third one in my lifetime -- and the female massage therapist and I were chatting about RSI and games and she almost apologetically told me that she just never got into games when she was in school. Is it ironic that she looked like Lara Croft? I didn't tell her that: I was afraid she would kick my ass.
