You know what I dislike? Incredibly much? All of the retardedly-titled threads like this one, where the poster seems like they're trying to present their community college senior thesis.

Here let me try one. Lipstick and Hand Grenades: Hot Chicks Kicking Ass In Videogames Because They're Videogames And That's Awesome So Get Over It. How's that? Do I get my Associates?

Didn't you know all female gamers are 20 year old Japanese girls wearing 'Hello Kitty' Bikini's?....:whistle:

I find high heels unrealistic, but not necessarily over sexualised.

The ridiculous camera angles with her latex (as opposed to proper armour, which I think all squaddies should have, like in ME1.) Is oversexualised.

Samara wears high heels though. Is she oversexualised? Not in personality perhaps, but she is in looks. Same with Miranda.

What if I think that women that don't wear heels and don't have a huge butt or breasts are more hot?

Naw, we're just a myth. Like the Lochness monster, Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, god, Leprechauns, honest politicians, the tooth fairy.. to name a few.

And if we did even exist, we'd naturally just be morbidly obese, hideous basement dwelling cows. :mellow:

What if it has nothing to do with what NSA wrote? Not to mention, all butts, small or big look better in heels. And aparently, women wearing high heels do not feel that they make them instahoes. 

This whole heels beign oversexualised discussion is just juvenile talk of guys during puberty who pretend to be protecting women's sacred image... while women wear high heels because THEY want to.

Inb4 some homebreed sociology adept tells me how the society made them do it.

well lets face it Samara doesn't really count because she got a body like somebody who was a porn star in the 80's and haven't really realized that was 30 years ago and gravity haven't been nice to her..

Her look comes of more like a "grandma in leotards" than anything sexy..it's a bit sad really.

That's why I want women to be cool atleast in video games! Almost every woman in real life that looks good, usually starts to dress silly. I want badass beautiful women, that sh*t on stereotypes. lol

The manner of sexualization we're talking about here I find pretty silly, and very, extremely cliche. "It was a dark and stormy night" level of cliche.  How does it make the IP more fun, exactly?  I've never understand such, yet so many good IP's use silly, sexualized cliches.

I'm happy to ignore it, but I'd be far happier if the sexualization were more subtle, and given more sentient substance.

Well good sir, if you associate high heels with bad taste and silly dressups I'm sure the whole fashion world (and by that I mean people who make trends, not supermarkets selling cheap fakes) would like to have a word with you.

High heels are something not only sexy but tasteful and pretty, provided the girl wearing them has taste and generally have higher ambitions than a lady of light virtue.

Associating high heels with stereotypes, "not coolness" and over-sexualization means you haven't seen a real woman wearing high heels.

Whatever our culture makes of high heels being high class, they are pretty silly.  Just like, well, always having to wear clothes.

I suppose Miranda might be the type who likes fashion so much she doesn't mind the pain and discomfort of high heels in combat, and is so perfect in coordination they don't hamper her. Not to mention that Omni-gel could probably heal all wounds from wearing the heels.

That's hypnotic... and eerily disturbing at the same time.

I find a woman on bare feet more sexy than one with high heels, but is my taste.

High heels ( or any unpractical clothes for that matter ) make a person seem less compitent in my eyes. 
I've seen a lot of ''real'' women in high heels, but that is just something not for me. 
A woman wearing unpractical clothes also almost automaticaly goes under the light virtue cattegory, because why endure unpractical clothes if you don't want to get something from it?

If you would understand what you just wrote, I would have to punch you in your face (provided I had a chance).
Lady of light virtue means a prostitute. If you want to call every woman who wear high heels prostitutes, I might start taking this personally.
