The issue here isn't exactly proportions, but more so character portrayal in general. I'm a huge fan of the classic Lara Croft. Proportions are the least of my concern.
Honestly, I don't even find attractiveness to be an issue. I love playing as attractive characters, male or female. The issue is that female characters are often designed to be a sexual fantasy object. They wear lingerie for armor, they constantly moan, they talk in seductive voices/ dialogue, and their animations look like they are walking down a runway instead of running away from a group of gunmen like an athlete.
It's ridiculous and out of hand. Honestly though, I...
I'm not referring to "attractive" people. There is a big difference between attractive and sexually exploited. Many female characters prance around in lingerie instead of armor. It's not very common you see that with male characters - I certainly cannot recall it.
Female characters in general are not very often empowered unless it is for their sexuality. This is not the case with the majority of male characters. So no, this is not a double standard.
Can't tell if you are serious or sarcastic xD
Indeed, it's a gorgeous controller :)
No one paid me todo this. I just made a video on my channel. I've been gaming all my life, and I'm darn good at it too! ;p
I understand that girls who aren't gamers and make videos for the wrong reasons are annoying, but you shouldn't discredit every female because of it.
Awesome!
You heard it, guys. Erm... gals.

Looking attractive and being exploited are two completely different things. Attractive characters are great - that is not the issue I raised and I'm not sure why it is being confused by some.
