Have gamers become.....perverted?

Forgive me, moderators, if this is too short, but I want to bring it to everyone attention.

Has anyone noticed that women in gaming seem to be 10 times hotter than they would normally look? Do we have developers spending 40 hours working on Bayonettas design? There's even a list of the 11 girls in gaming with the best butts. I mean, what? When on Earth did this happen?

I mean, look at Lightning! (Or whatever her name is. I've only played FF once.) Doesn't she seem abnormally hot? (Never thought I'd ever say that.)

And it's US too! Goig back to the 11 best butts video, we seem to notice these things right off the bat. Catwoman appears in Arkham City, we go "Oh! Nice ass!" Long forums discussing how big Bayonetta booty is. Wait a second, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BUTT RELATED EXAMPLES! And to top that, I even caught a friend of mine looking up Peaches dress in 3D World as she was going up the clear pipes. (Though he saw nothing. It's rated "E.") EVEN IN KID ICARUS. (Though Palutena is supposed to be a goddess.)

Even I got the idea for this article after replaying the first Bayonetta recently. Looking at my DQ9 cover, I noticed the girl on THAT isn't exactly wearing something that'd make me focus on the game at hand. It seems developers put a lot of effort into making women hot, and we notice it right off the bat. (And after playing Theif, I think it continues into Current Gen.)

Odd article, I know, but I just wanted to point it out. By the way, has anyone noticed Bayonettas booty is abnormally big?

I'm not going to ask what search term you had to put into Google to render that pic lol

I just found it while searching for a Nintendo picture I saw on Shokios channel. That's when the idea for this blog came up.

Men in games are abnormally good-looking, and usually very muscular.

When playing games, it's nice to fantasize about being someone that you are not. My wife is a big fan of the Dragon Age (has replayed both titles about 4 times each) games, and she always spends about an hour prior to starting the game customizing every detail about her sexy whoever main character.

Men like playing as the ideal man, and believe it or not, women like playing "sexy dress up" with their characters, too. MMOs are widely played by women and - guess what? - MMOs are one of the main "offenders" for over-sexy women.

I don't think gamers are perverts. I don't think it is perverted to get...aroused, and I don't think it's perverted to WANT to get aroused.

I DO think that, as with almost every form of media, it is completely and utterly overused to the point that it has become a generic trope, but I don't think liking to look at boobies is inherently perverted. We all like to ogle.

Have you seen the amount of make up, photo shop, surgical work and clothing with fake 'accessories' people use for photo shoots and TV/movies so they can look as sexy as possible in everything they do? The problem here is human culture, not game culture. That being said I'm looking very forward to Bayo 2 with increased 'ass'ets.... Sorry, I'll leave now....

huh? i've always been like th-
uhh...i mean...

does it really matter though?
movies have alot of sexual tensions,
life can have sexual tensions,
why is it so weird if games have sexual tensions?

Mankind has been perverted long before games came along. We're a sick bunch.

Very rarely is physique portrayed realistically in games, the main character is not what the average male or female body looks like and this goes for other stuff like commercials or advertisements as well.

Gamers have not "become" perverted. The media has always been perverted. There's a reason why the saying of "Sex Sells" still exist. People like to see pretty people. We're conditioned to be attracted to pretty things. What's more attractive? A flower or a weed? A marble clean floor or the sidewalk which is covered with poo stains?

I'm sorry, but Lightning from FF13 is as hot as the walls of a cryogenic pod. I guess she has a pretty face..using "pretty" very loosely. To me, her face is kinda manly. Then there's her body. Either her head is big or she's too thin...thin for a soldier anyway. The whole costume gimmick in 13-3, imo, would fit Serah a lot better than Lightning. Serah is a lot more girly and cute, AND her personality makes it believable as to her playing dress up. Seeing Lightning in "cute" clothes and posing just urks me.
