Square Enix’s heroine embodies an age-old issue developers have with women in video games.
Square Enix’s heroine embodies an age-old issue developers have with women in video games.
I live in Japan and have for years, and trust me, it’s not just games and anime - most media has a very objectifying way of looking at and treating women (even on the news, they’ll have older but and very young women for the presenters), and women are often written in a very two-dimensional way that seems very geared for how the writers WANT women to be, not how women actually are.
