I didn't miss that, I just got fired up about the other stereotypical "what's the deal with feminists" stuff. My bad. I'm a lose cannon when the word "feminism" is mentioned.

I love the ideas of Lara Croft and Samus... they rock. I was more so referring to other video game portrayals I constantly see like in GTA or racing games and I don't know what else... games where the woman isn't the hero or the role-model but instead the "prize" - not an actual character but instead just a sex object. I don't think there is anything wrong with women being angry at those kinds of representations.

I was also just wanting to point out that feminists aren't all ugly fat gross people. And that I don't give a **** if the female characters have tiny waists and enormous tits, but I care more for the fact that they are portrayed as subordinate.

Anyway.
