We need to consider how women are represented in our games if we're going to change the toxic attitudes towards women within the gaming community. And this affects not just the attitudes of your male demographic, but also how women & girls feel playing it. Games are for everyone!

PS. And yep, naturally this goes for ALL artists designing ALL female characters everywhere... I'm simply pointing out the ones in #LeagueOfLegends since it's the game I play most and care most about personally.

100000% this.

Especially since twitch has banned 'underboob' and 'butts' apparently. Like, ffs.

Yuuup. Be sexy, but not too sexy. Cover up, but don’t cover up too much. Don’t be a prude, but also don’t be a slut. It's hard for women to navigate a world designed by men, filled with double standards about our bodies and our sexuality. At least give us our own agency ffs.

The issue is that the major representation of women as 'dressing provocative' implies the sexual nature of such behaviour, rather than just... having a cleavage. The other issue is agency. It's fine if it's a passive representation. It's not fine the moment she's benefitting.
