Video-Game Hero­ines Can Kick Sex­ism's Butt - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • But there’s no denying that, particularly in genres like shooter games, female characters are rare, and when they appear they’re often damsels in distress or decorative temptresses within the male-centered storylines.
  • Most game developers themselves are men, so it’s possible that the issue is less intentional sexism than a lack of diversity among the designers.
