MMORPG News - Sexism in MMORPGs @ MMORPG.com

MMORPG.com's Jon Wood takes a closer look at the depiction of women in MMORPGs.

"The portrayal of women in video games is disgusting."

That's a quotation I've heard many times, from both men and women alike. The truth is that they have a point. Most of the time, female avatars are portrayed with large breasts, small waistlines and finely toned bodies all around. Commonly, the blame for this is put on the fact that "sex sells" and game development is a male dominated industry.
