Are video games rife with sexism? And have you heard that most video gamers are now adult women—not teenage boys in the basement? A new study says so.

I want to say 1 thing. FUCK OFF!
Are video games sexist? FUCK!, go get a life will ya and stop complaining about the smallest thing ever.
Do you complain about books being sexist? Do you complain about movies being sexist? Do you complain about statues being sexist? probably...

Lets start a new topic. Are the statues in Rome pornographic as they are nude? How about the paintings in the Louvre as its got naked women so is that pornographic?

FUCK OFF. Thats all I can say about it.

(Sorry for swearing but there is nothing less I can say about it) Pisses me off when I see people complaining about the smallest thing.

If you dont like the game then DONT BUY It!, DONT PLAY IT! Go outside and get a life. People like games the way they are. You are the minority and nothing will change just because you have a stick up your ass about everything.

K she was not supporting it, she analyzed the notion and concluded that games were not sexist. Not sure if you watched the vid. But I agree, I'm sick of people nitpicking gaming and coming up with these idiotic type stories. My first thought when I saw it was "F off" too but then I watched vid. I'll never get those few mins back.

I am really sick of these liberal trolls always looking for things to complain about, like sexism and racism in everything.

If I want to stare at pixel tits while my wife isn't home, I'll stare at all the pixel tits I want.

I'm with Tom on this. If you watch it, she does in fact conclude that they're not on not sexist, but there's no relation to a gaming in whole lot of other dumb studies, either.

What does it have to do with the original topic?
These are wannabe developers and journalists.
Not games or gamers.
