I can agree with that. I DO wish that it were more equitable between the genders though. Aside from what people here are saying (because they are not attracted to men and have no reference point of understanding), male characters do not get the same treatment. I dunno, I know plenty of female gamers who go gaga over male gaming characters too. It is absolutely undeniable that female characters are sexualized MUCH more often than male.
