Women are portrayed in video games the same way and for the same reasons they are portrayed on TV and in magazines. This is ridiculous.

  So nothing should change ? And when asking to change how women are represented in TV ... what if they say : "Hey, women are portrayed in TV the same way and for the same reasons they are portrayed on video games and in magazines. This is ridiculous." Your argument, is a fallacy.

      That is not the question. If you think it is, then I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the issue is.

    Well, they didn't say that, you did.

      You can imply something without saying it directly.

  Yes, it IS ridiculous that women are so poorly portrayed, poorly treated, misrepresented and under-represented in TV, magazines, film, video games. All media. All of society. The same can be said of people of colour, of LGBTTIQQ2SA people, of all minorities. Please, do not diminish a problem because it is common (or in this case ubiquitous). That only makes it that much more of a problem. Women are portrayed the way they are because it makes straight white men happy, but it destroys the agency of women as equal beings.
