Thanks for showing this pic. This disarms the argument that the media encourages eating disorders/pushes a body image stereotype on young women. Notice how different this chick looks than the Yoko anime image below. The female characters IN the video games are always tight bodied sex on a stick vixens. You'd think that the female gamers would be influenced by that and make great effort to emulate their idols. I had to take a Feminism and the Media class once to complete the social science requirement I had neglected. I wondered if the prof had ever attended a CON and seen the reality that video games have zero effect on making girls feel the need to absorb the male standard of beauty.
