You guys have shitty girlfriends.
a) Any reasonable woman would have no problem with it. My GF loves Bayonetta, DOA, Saint's Row...
b) DOA is the fighting game series with the most female players. In fact, three of the top players in the world are women. Look it up.
c) Not only DOA, but Lollipop Chainsaw and Bayonetta are other games with insane sexual women who have big female followings. I-no from Guilty Gear is topless in winposes and lacks a bra and she's a character women love everywhere.
Only male gamers know so litle about women to think the average female is bothered by DOA. Quite the contrary. Stop treating women like they're made of porcelain and need to be protected. Women like fun like everyone else.
It's pretty shortsighted to think a girlfriend has to be shitty to dislike games that obviously objectify them and cater to a mostly male audience. I don't care if the top players in the world who play them are women. That doesn't excuse anything and is a poor/stupid argument to make.
I don't really know if my girlfriend would be upset seeing DOA5, but the fact of the matter is I can understand why any girl would be so I just assume.
To think that someone is lesser just because they get offended by a game like DOA5 is fucking stupid and ignoring a world that exemplifies beauty and portrays it in an unreasonable level.
I wouldn't go overboard and claim that women would be upset by it, as I imagine most are desensitised to the use of sex appeal in various media. I think most (non-gaming girls) would be more likely to jest that it's a bit lame, the idea of playing a game by yourself which happens to make quite a big deal of tits.
I do think it is a bit insulting to women to assume that they can't handle seeing underdressed representations of women, be it on tv, in games or elsewhere.
I always find it amusing that no one complains about the fact that males are pretty sexualized too. We just don't care. Some movie came out that was about a bunch of stripper dudes( can't remember what it was called), and Women were in love with it. Gotta love double standards :P It's the weak mindedness of people that makes them feel bad about themselves to see a person look like the ideal hotness. If I some ripped dude, I don't feel bad that I don't look like him- I'd be more inspired to work out...
