The Other M Thread got me thinking... What are your favorite female characters in recent years, that are not overly sexualised.
I'm talking huge boobs, constant ass-shots, being completly stupid and helpless in a world full of manly man heroes.


For me personally? It is Lefttenant(sic!) Mira from Warhammer 40k Space Marine:

Why? She was simply awesome. Holding the line against a bajillion Orks invading the world, all her superiors dead and still no sign of fear or doubt. No bullshit, just a hardass woman.
Even though she is just a side character she is more memorable to me than my squadmates.

(For those interested, I started this thread because I read this: http://designislaw.tumblr.com/post/10076180504/warhammer-40-000-space-marine-most-suprisingly and fully cosigned. )

So post your stories!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Does Bayonetta count? She may be oversexualized but she's pretty strong (and awesome).

That might be because she's actually a schoolgirl. Point taken, though.

What? Did you see the trailer? it sounded like a damn porno she was moaning and grunting so much. Plus the pictures still try and show this "hot" teenage girl.. just bruised up and such.

Chie Satonaka? I'm too far into Persona 4, but she seems pretty strong and isn't sexualized at all.

I'm not understanding why people are saying lightning. Her outfit is obscene. She has a skirt that hardly comes down past her butt cheeks. Maybe flashing her crotch during battle catches people off guard?

New Lara Croft also still has pretty huge boobs. I guess they are trying to make her a more serious character though.....yawn.

I don't see how her outfit is obscene, but I also don't hate Nomura art. She wears a skirt, ok... It's not like the game has panty shots or tries to be very sexual with it like other Japanese games. And if our idea of strong female characters somehow allows the characters from Gears of War then when it comes to the actual character the Light is also fine as she is mostly a independent and strong willed character.

She had a stick through her gut. The game's theme is 'survival'.

Did they go overboard with the constant talking during the demo? Maybe, and I'm willing to bet they tone it down a bit for the game's release.

Alyx provides the player with mental masturbation. She doesn't count to me.

honestly I didn't like how Chell got all prettied up in portal 2.


In portal 1 she looked like a person who was trapped in a lab.... in in portal 2 she got alot more curvy and and her face changed completely to be more pleasing to the eye.


Nothing really wrong with her new design but it just seemed silly that a studio like valve saw the need to sex up the main character in there games.

I thought it was always the player (marcus) and whoever was meant to be the second player opened the doors in single player. I must have been wrong.
