[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6207199, member: 4937"] Ok, now suppose that in a fit of purist for sim, the same game has the following character builder options: a) Construct a village. Each player is randomly assigned an inhabitant of the village as their character. OR the more generous optional rule b) Construct a village. Each player may select the character in the village that they wish to play. Is this game system now sexist? Note, I'm not asking if this is a particularly well designed game. I'm not asking you if this is a game you'd like to play. I'm not asking if the game would be enjoyable for every body. I'm asking is this game actually immoral and worthy of condemnation on those grounds. Would such a design actually motivated by hatred and fear of women, and ought we when encountering the design be uncomfortable by the implications of the design for women? [/QUOTE]
