How are female characters represented in
Games?
Normally not as independent characters, they
may be strong (Lara croft (Tomb Raider 2013) or Elise (Assassins creed Unity)
but at some point rely on a male to save them. Even arguably one of gaming’s
most iconic badass females Samus Aran was turned into a bland character who
took orders from a man. If they are not taking orders or being saved, they are
usually overly sexualised (Dead or Alive, Bayonetta to name a few). It seems we
are going backwards in the representation of females, and although I agree that
there needs to be more independent lead roles that are filled by females, the
current model works…. And it doesn’t really need to be changed.
