There are all sorts. In a video game about Conan, there will be bikini-clad female warriors, it's true, and also men wearing thongs. But in the Conan films, there are also bikini-clad female warriors and men wearing thongs. What I mean is that there has to be a bit of everything, and there's a place for everything in our world if we know how to interpret it and situate it within the whole. What wouldn't be at all desirable is if all video games or all films portrayed sexist images of women and society. Fortunately, in spite of everything, there is variety. For example, in Mass Effect, I can choose the character I want to play with. And although it is true that there are hypersexualized female characters, there are others that are more normal and more like modern urban women. The same can be said of the male characters. And the player can choose.
