Not really. We are encountering the rise of the same problem. Nevertheless, you simplified and summed up exactly what I was talking about- here-

1. Prevalance of single parent households or parents being forced to work multiple jobs or shifts to pay for the childs education, whatever

= Bad parenting leads to

2. How big peer pressure and school environments are for kids here.

Weak resistance to outside factors.

I don't know, I would be on your side a lot more if they hadn't given Jade the inability to pronounce the word 'creative'. I mean, if they were going for what you said, it would make more sense to have Jade as how she actually is and show the gamers falling all over themselves. In this case, she shows up, and when she finds herself unable to speak she does what women are really good for, sucking cock, mirite.

Your problem is the fact that you think the comic described Jane as such a person, whereas if you look at it from another perspective, the comic describes the "typical" (note the tags) videogamers wet dream. The more you actually think about it, the more you see that the comic had nothing to do with Jade, and instead put down the nerdy adolescent boys who "talk tough" over VOIP and internet (yeah, I know I have to tread carefully here). I dont know how to describe those kids but with a word "retard".

Due to socialization.

Ahem... do you really want me to re-write the whole "modding" thing again?

EVA's outfit, I don't think, was supposed to be sexy full stop. It was supposed to be sexy and yet practical, something that an actual combatant spy would wear. You'll notice she's wearing boots, not heels, she zips up her suit when she needs to take care of business, so on and so forth

She wears boots NOT because shes a spy, but because she rides a MOTORCYCLE! I dont have the time to review cutscenes, but I think when she was Tatyana, she wore something a sleeper agent would wear. Skirt, heels, et cetera.

It's attractive if you're going to an evening party, not if you're storming a village to kill some dudes.

Out of place? Yes. Sexist? How? Objectification? Every good looking character is being done that to. Leon in RE4 included.

Especially because IIRC (not sure on this, havent played 4 in about a year), Ada didn't know Leon was there.

I think she knew. But Im still standing by my case, that she was there as an agent, and not a merc. In fact, if you take the whole castle and the whole medieval crap into account, she was PERFECTLY suited, her dress was very suitable considering the context.

There's the study to the aforementioned link. Half of all boys and one third of all girls (which isn't a wide gap) enjoy playing violent video games for anger management, and lots of girls love the GTA series, ranking it second overall in popularity for girls.

If so many girls really play the game, then they dont mind its often "less than polite" portrayal of genders (women are weak and usually work as whores, men are stupid crooks.
