The Women's Developer list posted a link to an interesting article up on one of our arch nemesis..nemesies...nemesi? Oh hell you get the gist.  It was on another site. This article highlights how in games, gender neutrality and racial equality is completely non-existent.

 

Every image of a woman in a game is one from a misogynistic point of view. Our armor on our characters is more revealing, and less protective if we were going for realism. Any race who isn't a European white male appears as some sort of Animal or Alien race.  LGBT roles are also not present. If aliens were indeed observing our race via our games, it would appear no other gender or race inhabited this planet. Hypothetically speaking, to paraphrase the article, the perfect fantasy world is where only white, straight, men ruled and the rest of us, are animals....Let's talk about it. Call in, or drop by chat 9pm CST LIVE or leave a comment here if you're listening to us on replay.
