I wrote an article about similar topics as yours, and one of the things that I didn't put in my piece but I think would fit into yours is the way video games are advertised. If you look back at the earliest games, you see that advertisements showed boys and girls to an equal extent, but over time the ads began to exclusively target boys. I think that it's an important talking point because it shows how a lack of representation within media often mirrors a problem with the community, which I think you show quite well here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409203774253961958.post-18844019305932754342016-03-13T18:25:36.722-05:002016-03-13T18:25:36.722-05:00As I am not a big video game person, I saw your po...As I am not a big video game person, I saw your post as very insightful on that topic. I agree that when women are put in powerful roles in video games they usually portray unrealistic body types and expectations for women, and are often over sexualized. My question to you is how do we stop the objectification of women in media? How do we change video game production to empower women and put them in roles equal to men?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
