I don't know don't video games for guys do sort of the same thing, assuming all we want to do is destroy and slaughter? (although this assumption has a stronger basis in fact)

Yes. I find it highly offensive. But since the game is already so sexist to women.... it's just generally a sexist stereotypical game that treats everyone like idiots.

what it is that makes a true, strong, independent lady: shopping, hairstyles, and having a boyfriend.
Oh wow. I don't even know what to say... Actually having a boyfriend is not that much of a proof that you are independent, now is it? Quite opposite.

How ever I just looove the way this writer is being sarcastic as hell:

- Change my hairstyle, getting two "cool" pigtails in black.
- Buy at least one thing I like from a store in the mall.
- Rent my own apartment.

I'm well on my way to being good enough!
:D
"You don't have a boyfriend at the moment! Visit the Club and go flirting, you might meet someone hot."

Shit, I'm incomplete on so many levels! No boyfriend?! So it's straight to the enigmatically named Club.
:DD

Disscussion value/ question:
Why in the world do people still make games like this?
What are your responses?
What possible effect to you think this game could have?
1) Because its the kind of thing that a lot of twelve year old girls want to play.

2) Dont care since I am not twelve and its not targeted at me.

3) None. It is just another game in a sea of very similar ones that have been coming out for years and years. I can remember seeing things like this ten years ago so its not going to suddenly change things now.
If I had a young daughter I would not want to give her a game which tells her the most important things are her looks and how much her bf makes.

If she liked dress up I would give her the sims 3 where she can be anything from a doctor to a hairdresser. Not a 'cookiegirl' whatever the hell that is.

I'm shocked more of you male escapists aren't completely offended by the boyfriend part tbh.
Car washer is a hero to us all.

This whole thing makes me think of
I object to them including Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the right side. She was independent and employed in Seinfeld. If anything, she was just one of the guys.

Oh that... That's just silly. Nothing more to be said, really.

This can't be serious. What were the developers smoking when they decided to add a witch into this game?!
The evil witch has been hiding the Ghost city for centuries and no one has succeeded in breaking the spell yet. With every passing year, and with each of the thousands of unsuccessful attempts to break the spell, the witch becomes stronger and is now more powerful than before.
Yeah, what on earth were they thinking putting an evil being with supernatural powers into such a girly setting?

This "game" exists, and is not trolling. Therefore, there must be a reason that the developers believe teenage girls are like this.
One of these reasons could be that there are some teenage girls who are like this.
Therefore, this game is a deep and powerful story about the death of natural selection. You are now breathing manually.

That is hilariously stupid. Why anyone would play this is beyond me. And "Car Washer"? Can't they think of a first and last name at least, and what's with the meeting people at a club to get a boyfriend? That's just...wow--I'll just withhold the rest of my opinion.

...So you go to the club to pick up a pimp? I have to say settling for a car washer pimp doesn't seem like the best choice.

Why in the world do people still make games like this?
because litle girls play them and makes them popular (seen it happen with my 11 years old cousin)

What are your responses?
meh nothing really new here

What possible effect to you think this game could have?
none seriously

this is just a dumb game for litlle girls who like this kind of stuff for... whatever reason idk
why cant you just leave it be? why do you let this one sexist developer get to you?
i guess i just dont see the big deal about this (i doubt that its because im a guy but...) if there is one dumb sexist who puts out dumb sexist games why be so worked up?
espacialy when its just a free flash game... (for example when duke nukem came out i could understand... that game wasnt even good even if you egnore the sexist parts...)

btw im preaty sure that more people played this stupidity to make sure people like the OP werent messing with them or exadurating...

Hilariously politically incorrect.

...or just a natural extension to the Barbie brand, and other somewhat gender specific toys that children have always and will always play with.

Though as from the looks of the screenshot the lady (...without lady parts) can be in the nude, I'm guessing the game will be at least as popular with pubescent boys.

So in order to appeal to females a game needs to revolve the collection of worthless currency (which you use to get more money), have you explore a banal world, emphasising vapid relationships, constanly require changing between indistiguisable clothes, all so you can arbitary leveling to allow you defeat some nonseneical, shoe-horned in fantasy antagonist? Well at least it explains why Bioware has so many female fans I guess.

That's disgusting. It was just stupid at first, but when you get boyfriends named for their jobs and ranked based on how much money they give you, you've crossed a terrible line. This is just awful.

People need to figure out that the way to make a game for girls is to tell a story girls like, not make some simulator for a stereotypically manipulative and selfish female life. The sooner games are more widely viewed as an artistically viable medium, the sooner people will see this as a legitimate option and we'll hopefully be rid of these abominations.

In answer to the first question: because some people actually like to play these games?

I don't fully understand this problem of sexism people keep bringing up; why should a game about going to the mall and getting boyfriends be considered a bad thing? What if some women like playing these games? Or guys for that matter?

Considering we have critically acclaimed games built around awarding male soldiers points for shooting other male soldiers (and everyone is fine with that: they don't complain about stereotyping or "misrepresenting" male relationships in the case of COD4), I fail to see how this could be somehow worse.
