So what, they want more ugly girls in video games? Having women be attractive is sexist?

the point was that she is shown being submissive and displaying her goodies all the time, as opposed to actually functioning as a person. she functions basically as an object for you to look at. having people be sexualized is fine, as long as there are other portrayals to counteract it....and in gaming there really is not a whole lot of that.

and saying like "chris redfield is buff" is not really the same. big, buff dudes fighting things is a male fantasy. look at every action flick ever, WWE, MMA, etc. those are male fantasies. if any RE character is seen as attractive by females it is Leon, and obviously that isn't because he is a gigantic muscle head with an unobtainable body that is constantly being shown off as is the case with women in gaming.
