As alot of you are aware, the "babe slapping" mode in Duke Nukem's multi player has been critisized about by a fair amount of people (not forgetting FOX). After thinking for a while, yes, it is sexist and yes, it is meant to be a total joke (its duke nukem ffs).
If you are even considering to buy a game like Duke Nukem, you should be able to accept the nature of the material.
Sexist: sexism (ˈsɛksɪzəm)
? n
discrimination on the basis of sex, esp the oppression of women by men
This bring me to my point: If these types of sexist games are created for males to play, why the hell are the people that dont want to play the game complaining?
Take this for example, smoking is bad for health, not only for those that smoke, but to those that don't smoke too as they get second hand smoke. Therefore it is valid that those that do not smoke complain and go against smoking. Whereas sexist games that are created which targets males (who are meant to be of mature age) are being criticized by those who do not play them. Yes, it is offensive material to some but, is being advertised as such to warn them. If people are afraid of their kids getting affected, them Im sorry but, look at the day and age we live in.
