I bought Professor Layton and the Unwound Future yesterday because it was on sale!

Is it okay this is my first Layton game?

Do I need to play them all sequentially?

Someone should put a wedding ring in one of these and propose to their significant other with it.

Okay Tumblr (specifically the female audience out there), something has been itching at me for a while and I want to get some perspective.

What do you think of these video game heroines?

I’m pointing out Juliet Starling of the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw, and the titular Bayonetta from 2009/2010. There’s little sense to argue that the video game industry, like just about every other mainstream entertainment industry, is still vulnerable to sexism at pretty much every turn. Probably the most common offense to women in video games compared to men, is how they’re portrayed, which is often times with very little variation to body type between characters, and at times sporting outfits or poses that make the sexually appealing elements of their body always apparent to the viewer.

I think the representation of women has definitely improved with time, and while it’s still not ideal in every circumstance, we’re constantly seeing more and more of the Elena Fisher and Heather Morris variety as games release.

But what about Juliet Starling and Bayonetta? These heroines flaunt their sex appeal at every turn with ridiculous outfits and revealing acrobatics, and Juliet in particular is essentially a westernized, M-rated magical school girl with her excessively cheery attitude, and dialog and moves soaked in feminine tropes and gags (or rather, what is traditionally seen as feminine, especially for girls her age).

That said, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any women take real offense to these characters. Is there are a certain sexism threshold that Juliet and Bayonetta bypass because of their sheer over the top characterization and design? Is there perhaps some inherent merit to the way these ladies marry strength, sexiness, and ridiculous feminine antics? Are they simply unfair, misogynistic leads for the sake pandering to a male audience?

I’m really interested in getting some serious insight on this.

Elena Fisher GIF found here.

I find the designs pander explicitly to the male gaze.

Too often in video games does the phrase “strong female lead” allude to hypersexualized weapon-wielding women.

Instead of trying to figure out whether or not these are empowering lead characters, why not try finding female gamers who feel empowered by playing as them?

The answer is y’can’t.

Because these are just the same old tired giant-breasted tight-clothed designs used to attract male attention.

Both of these characters subvert a lot of tropes and cliches with their characterizations and roles in their arcs, surely. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves in thinking they’re some kind of historic leap in improvement that jettison them past the threshold of sexism.

They’re still pretty darn sexist, if you ask me.
