Perhaps they aren't playing the games sporting Blood Maidens but it seems some things never change Women are very adroit at ignoring their own objectification. We buy beauty magazines by the carload...we love to imagine ourselves with real power while still wearing stilettos. The game designers may have 14 year old boys in mind but they also know that many women if they want to play will buy in...it happens in politics, business, academe...the game world isn't much different.
