That is a very common mistake, as the comparison of sports and porn economy quickly shows. Semi-naked men (sports) are way more desired for those "implicitly heterosexuals" than sexy women (porn) -so much as the order of 400$ Billion compared to 10$ Billion respectively. Though misleading, the statement is helpful to understand why such a sexualized character has been included in that game. The rationale does not rely in the functional needs of the game's story-line. Instead, it relies on the assumption of those "implicitly heterosexual" developers that their sexist (this is, sex based) approach to that phenomenon called 'women' resonates well with society. As a natural follow up, they understood that featuring a Hentai-alike adolescent might be effective to attract end users, while being fun at the same time. Please correct me if I am wrong. In any case I agree with the others that we should have a view of that sexualized adolescent in the game. I seriously doubt that only the posters have motivated Vincent to involve deb-women in this issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
