I am currently enrolled in a class that teaches us students about gender sensitivity. It would be very helpful if I could get some of your thoughts on some on the following questions:
- Why are the leading roles of RPG games usually males?
- When it is a male character lead, he is usually covered up in really awesome armor and has immense power with really amazing physique to boot.
(for example : Solid Snake, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Kratos)
- When the lead character is a female, why is she usually clothed only to cover up her genitals? She may be just as powerful, but what is with the lack of armor and clothing?
(for example : Nariko, DOA Beach Volleyball)
Your opinions and thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Thank you. :)
