A few days ago I posted on Super Whatnot about my intentions to start reading comics because of the DC Universe re-launch. I made a passing comment about how women are underrepresented in the industry and that there are some complications with how they are represented in the medium itself on too many occasions.
Video games are no different.
Typically I wouldn't go out of my way to post about simple gaming news, but there have been a pair of stories that have really irked me in the last few weeks and that I feel like I would like to address here.
1. BioWare's Liara (Mass Effect) figure reveal
2. Dead Island's code place holder for a player character
Sadness rant after the jump.
