I love playing video games, but the gaming industry really needs to stop this mess. What on Earth makes anyone decide that advocating sexual harassment of your women employees for prizes is a good idea? EA, you fail. It really is time for the gaming industry and men gamers to cut all this sexist bullshit that so pervades all-things-gaming. You’re making me never want to play Left 4 Dead or most video games ever again.
Oh, and while I’m at it, y’all kinda have a problem with racist stereotypes, too.

One of the reasons I can’t mess with video games these days. It’s way too violent, sexist and just annoying. I remember having an “intervention” with my niece for playing Grand Theft Auto. I won’t even get into all the crime and sexist -ish they advocate on that game.
This is terrible, although not surprising. The gaming industry is so entrenched in sexist feelings towards women that they teach their consumers to not only achieve, but to enjoy the exploitation of women. This is so indicative of the value we give women in our culture; second class citizens that exist to be controlled and consumed.
