    There were lots of half-naked men, too. Including in this ad.

    Most of them in games were more male fantasy stuff…ripped, shirtless dudes with big weapons. Not really appealing to most women, but checks the “I want to BE him” aspect for lots of guys, lol

      Yeah, but that is just another facet of marketing for men. Sexy dress-up vs tighty whities. Definitely not intended to get women interested.

      Are you really out here in public view still trying to use the “not all men” to tell a woman her feelings are invalid?

        How does that comment invalidate the previous one? If anything it actually reinforces it. Are you just looking for an excuse to shame someone?

        No, I was supporting the previous comment. The idea that the ads were mostly about “male fantasy”, and probably wouldn’t be (positively) nostalgic for most women gamers.
