I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but I was reading the review for the game Lost City of Atlantis, and something kind of... irked me.

The reviewer seems to imply that the fact that a nude male is the lead character is a negative point in the game. The reviewer states the fact that two women made the game as some sort of "excuse" for the presence of this character, and even go as far as to say that a nude female lead character would be somehow better.

I find this ver ysexist and heterosexist view a little insulting, and though I am NOT one for politcally correctness (I mean REALLY am NOT), it did put me off a bit. First off, would it be so terrible if a man created a game with a nude male character in it? It happened in Metal Gear Solid. Why does two women devleoping the game somehow justify a certain fact about the game?

Also, though the implication that a nude female character would make the game more succesful may be a fact, the review does not need to be concerned with how succesful the game was, and the implication that the game would somehow be improved by this heavily implies a preference for a straight-male mindset.

I don't mean to be a b*&^%, but I love this site and would hope others can feel welcome here, regaurdless of gender or sexuality, but things like this gaurantee that people will be made to feel unwelcome. And considering the game does start a nude male, it is likely that a lot of people drawn to it will be women or gay men, and to have a comment in the review somehow implying that their interest in the game is wrong is bound to be off-putting.
