How are female characters represented in video games?
Female characters are portrayed very badly in computer games. Not for the fact they are portrayed as evil but more for the fact that females are portrayed as sexual objects. When a female is in a game they usual don't have many clothes on and have a lot of their body on show. For example Lara Croft from Tomb Raider was highly criticized for not wearing many clothes, in the original games, later on in the series Lara begin to wear more and more clothes. As time has progressed there is less sexual representation of females in computer games.
