      I suppose if Anita played it, she would complain about how little of his ass you see.

      No. The problem isn't that male character's asses are routinely covered up or downplayed. It's that female character's asses are so routinely emphasized and sexualized. The stark contrast between how male and female characters are so often framed demonstrates this.

      Say that again but this time, look at how much of Kratos's body is on show in that screenshot. Oh and by the way, several people proved that point wrong about the game anita was "playing" (if she even actually played it) when she made that remark.

      When men's bodies are displayed, it's usually to emphasize their power and strength, not to sexually objectify them. When women's bodies are displayed, it's usually to sexually objectify them. Also, "the game"? It's not about one game. It's a widespread, obvious pattern.

      You're seriously sitting there and telling me that men are not sexually objectified in games?

      Most games have been designed with presumed straight male players in mind. The physicality of male heroes is therefore usually designed to be something that the player wants to have/possess/emulate, not something they desire sexually.

      And that's fine. (I mean, the cultural link between masculinity and violence is a problem of its own but that's a different discussion.) The problem here is the extremely widespread sexual objectification of women, who, unlike men, were rarely treated as fully human characters.

      Thankfully this may be starting, slowly, to change in recent years (thanks to conversations started and awareness raised by stuff like Tropes vs. Women in Video Games), but we still have quite a ways to go.
