In the earlier decades of videogames when they were considered mostly junk entertainment for teen boys and not a lot of thought was going into morality or ethics, scantily clad was more or less the standard for female characters. Revealing clothing is often described as ‘provocative’, a loaded term that suggests that what a woman wears is actively taunting onlookers or inciting a reaction. Women who expose their bodies, women who ‘flaunt’ their sexuality are considered more immoral. Despite statistics indicating that revealing clothing has no correlation with sexual assault, sexual assault victims are frequently judged on their apparel or appearance. A scantily clad woman will have assumptions made about her sexual history and appetites, her intelligence, her social status and her overall morality. Although the christian extremists may be the only ones calling for women to obscure the contours of their bodies and hide their sinful armpits the rest of secular society still judges women based on how they dress.
