Female Protagonists' in Video Games.

They are represented well in my opinion and the whole debate on whether characters such as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider are overly sexualised is ridiculous. If the accusators had actually played the games they would realise she is never portrayed in a sexual manner. Her sexuality or gender never plays a part in the stories of the game. Quite frankly the games could be completely switched with a male Protagonist and you would not be able to tell the difference between them. The reason people debate whether she is overly sexualised is because she has large breasts and a thin waist, but what is wrong with seeing nice looking women in Video Games? Duke Nukem is portrayed as muscly and manly but no-one ever kicks up a fuss about him. The accusators should praise Lara and the Eidos Company for bringing women into video games as a strong lead role and for knocking down the barrier of it being a 'Mans' World'
