Also in a fight a man almost always wins. This is why women have high pitched screams - so they can alert men to come to their aid. You could have that as a special move in a game, where screaming temporarily makes you invincible but can't attack, and guys come to save you, but people would get incredibly offended (or act like they are) and there'd be a big hubbaloo about it and it'd probably strike people as more wrong than even my comments here.
Of course, most of the people who would be "offended" would be men. They'd be the ones who write the articles, who post the comments saying how sexist it is. "
IF it's the majority opinion that every game needs to have both sexes as playable characters (does this make a gameplay difference?) then people will vote with their wallet and buy more games that offer this.
But that isn't the case. It's mostly male gamers who play (especially shooting and action games) so it's no surprise that most characters you choose are male. Also in the military it's mostly men, especially in combat.
Frankly I don't know why men want women in the military so much anyway. For instance, here is a paragraph from Salon.com:
"I have talked to more than 20 female veterans of the Iraq war in the past few months, interviewing them for up to 10 hours each for a book I am writing on the topic, and every one of them said the danger of rape by other soldiers is so widely recognized in Iraq that their officers routinely told them not to go to the latrines or showers without another woman for protection."
So do they want women raped? They want to increase the likelihood they are raped? Do they want to increase the likelihood that they are killed?
This is equality? It's better for women?
How about a scene in the next Call of Duty where you get to play as a woman soldier but when you go to a secluded area one of your male friends tries to rape you. "
Stolar was at Sega from 1996 to 1999. The 32X and Sega CD came before that. "
