Can the sexism in these types of games stop?

[Paddy™]

No one is putting up barricades to prevent the creation of female protagonists in video games, directly or indirectly, which is obvious when you look at how many games do feature a female protagonist. Even if it were the case that women are deliberately being kept out of the boys' club, there are more important, less "first world" problems we could be focusing on with regards to sexism in this industry. The salaries of female video game developers often being less than those of their male counterparts is a good example. What's been posted here isn't.

To be honest, I've seen far fewer black people in games - developing them or starring in them - than I have women. When was the last time you saw a black person at PAX or E3 talking about his/her latest game? Would anyone here have the gall to say that this is because the gaming industry is racist?
