I'll try to avoid rambling about this but I have been wanting to ask this for awhile now.

Am I the only person sick of seeing games come out with overly sexual female main/support characters? Don't get me wrong, I prefer to see sexually attractive women. I'm just sick of the close to 90% nude female characters.
Maybe if a few games had these types of characters it wouldn't bother me but it seems like the norm now to have this.

My point in making this thread in this forum is to ask the target audience what they think.

1)When you buy/rent a video game does it help you decide to get it if you see/know there's a thong wearing woman in it?(thong is just one example)

2)If in fact you prefer games to have this type of character is it because you wanna be turned on by it? If no then why?

3)Do you think game companies are just running out of ideas so they slap some skin in there hoping for the lonely horny guy segment to make the purchase?

Feel free to comment on any part of this post but those three questions are my main concern.

Another thing, I'm not saying this is the only lame stereotype in games. I also hate the way most male characters are so emasculated.
Is it so bad to have a strong macho guy and a feminine woman who isn't half nude for no apparent reason?

Lastly, before anyone goes this route. I do have a girlfriend and I'm not an uptight religious person. I'm just Dudebro asking an honest question, hopefully I get some honest answers. Thanks for reading(to those of you who won't tl;dr).

~I posted this on another board first, since we need some new topics to discuss I felt this was a good place for it.
