Topic: Sexuality (Oversexualization of characters in video games)
Unsupported:
This is characters from mortal kombat and is greatly blown out of proportion because every male in the game are jacked no matter whatThese are two characters from the soul caliber series and on the right, the male is shown as a buff badass samurai and the female on the left is over-sexualized wearing minimal clothing and showing off a lot of curvesThis character is named quiet from the metal gear solid series and her game model is a little questionable because her character is sort of just showing off her assets and wearing nothing but stockings and a bikini
Supported:
This is Joker from persona five and he is just an average high student and shows that you don’t need to make every guy buff to make a video game appealingThis is Aloy from the game horizon zero dawn and it shows that you don’t need to blow things out of proportion and wear minimal clothing to make a compelling female characterThis is Joel and Ellie from the game the last of us and they are two average citizens trying to survive an epidemic that sprung out of nowhere
Digital Tool Example:
One example I can remember is the character creation tool in grand theft auto five and I was able to alter the age of my character and what my skin color would look like. I could even choose my character’s parents to alter what his face would end up looking like. I guess it was cool because it felt like my Avatar/Character was my own and felt like it was another me inside a video game
