Well in so far as the subject of this thread goes, I'm not sure that video games actually handle it at a lower level than we see in film and literature already--infancy or not.

If anything, it seems to do a slightly better job. I've yet to have my video game action hero fuck his damsel in distress with alien corpses a few feet away, but I've seen suggestive fade to blacks in just that situation in all kinds of movies.

Here there are a lot of variables - does cheesecake being the entire point of the game excuse the DOA series?

Maybe if this were an exception to how women were portrayed in video games as opposed to a rule.

However, it's hard to justify DOA as just going all out Cheesecake when female side kicks (and heroines) in many contemporary games don't dress much more modestly.

But uh, what about the issues with the new girl in the Resident Evil series. Her alternate costume? Yeah. Not 100% sure about that.

Wrong on more levels than one.

And yet so right.
