    Slippery slope, and not what I was driving at. Refer back to when I said the fact that an entire industry doing it is the sexist bit. If all porn was for straight men, that would be sexist. Individual works aren’t what I’m talking about.

      I get that, but the point I’m trying to make is that it shouldn’t matter, I don’t get upset whenever I see a hunky man on a poster. I understand that a large part of the industry at that specific time where males were a vast majority of the gaming market were producing a lot of advertisement targeted towards their main audience, I just think that it’s a severe overreaction to call that sexist, and I especially think it’s an overstatement to suggest the “entire industry” was doing that unless you have specific statistics to back that up. If a women(or whoever) can’t enjoy the female(or whatever) figure, then that’s their personal problem, and would be tantamount to me complaining that the makeup industry is sexist because they don’t advertise towards men as often as towards women.

          This is where you said it, also a bit in your comment before that, but moreso I was trying to make an whole point so I did overextend a bit compared to what you had specifically mentioned.
