What Is It With Gamers and Naked Women?

PixelatedGamer.com writes, "The first story that got my back up this week was the images of naked Zoe from Left 4 Dead found here. Although skinning a character has been around forever, did we really need that? And more importantly was that news? No and no in my opinion, i was listening to the NG 'Cast today and they pointed out that a Tank was skinned to make it naked. That's fine, because that's funny, it's not news - it's just fine and it's funny. Now as for Zoe, it's not funny, we've seen it all before and if you think about it they're totally ruining the persona that character has within the story of Left 4 Dead. Obviously this is the game industry, there are so many gaming websites, some are bound to publish those images. Although that's still not acceptable, it is inevitable. Next minute so-called respected gaming sites like GameTrailers, Kotaku and Destructoid are writing about it, i'm sorry but it's pathetic. Surprise, surprise where was it on N4G, thats right, holding it's on at the top of the front page."

gamers = mostly men

men + naked ladies = WIN!

seems easy. if you think gamers are the only males interested in naked women I suggest you get out more.

Im not suggesting that, im suggesting gaming websites are exploiting the general perception of gamers, 14 year old geeks who stare at women on a computer. Hense why they post this, because it isn't news.

Well.. setting aside male libido (which perhaps you could already explain by yourself or else something's wrong with you), these are just the usual articles writers make to produce "intrigue" to the common people. In the industry they just simply call these as those which are "looking for hits". So don't get surprised if these articles get way up there along with those Sony-MS flamebaits. Honestly, I don't bother clicking on them here on N4G. Geez, there are lots of free porn out there, with chics way way better than olivia munn.

Women are naturally made to attract men and men are naturally made to attract women. That's how nature works. We're just sophisticated, shy animals.

It's called hormones and pheromones. Anyone who doesn't feel attracted by the opposite sex is either a liar, a mutant, a homosexual, or an android secret agent working against a global conspiracy.

The two types of articles that get the most degrees on this site are the sensational and the sexy.

At least the sexy articles tend to be honest.

It's not just gamers but mostly all men. Well those that are heterosexual anyway.

I would much rather look at boobs than read the typical fanboy crap posted on N4G.

Anyone that disagrees with me is obviously gay, seriously.

It's not just gamers, its just that every **straight** guy would rather see a chick nude (if shes hot ofcourse), than having chicks clothed... I didn't even read the article cause the title told me all I needed about it. It's nothing about being 14years old either, it's just programmed into every guys brain.

Even if you told me you were extremely religious and that you find seeing a chick naked unless your married to her a sin, I still wouldn't believe you if you said you don't enjoy seeing them naked lol...unless of course your gay.

Future articles..

Why do men cheer at wet t-shirt contests?
why do men go to bars to pick up chicks?
Why do men enjoy going to stripclubs?
How come Playboy is still making loads of money?

LOL @ the comment "What is it about People and breathing"

Well it would seem Callum Akhtar has closed down comments on that article. I would speculate that it is because I had corned him with his false logic, and instead of replying to me, he decided to delete my replies. I kept trying to reply, he kept deleting it, instead of acting like a mature adult and replying to me. And now he has closed the comments page. Good job! Way to be a hypocrite <_<.

My last post was:

Yes indeed it is a matter of opinion, like I stated with my fanboy comparison. It's the same as a fanboy of one console, complaining about news for another console. Their opinion of that console is that it's not news worthy, but their opinion doesn't make it true. Because there are people who are obviously interested in the news.
So why should these sites follow your opinion over their own?

"Although those news article can be seen to have a link to gaming the point still remains with blogs like destructoid. They often post stuff like this that clearly isn’y related to gaming."

You kind of flip-flopped with that there lol. First you say it can be seen to have a link to gaming, then you say it's clearly not gaming related. The L4D mod is entirely gaming related. And the Olivia Munn one is related to gaming somewhat, and because it's a very interesting story (mainly to the male viewers) it get's posted. It's an event connected with a video gaming show. The female host of the show does a spread in Playboy...How often does something like that happen huh? Gamers want to hear about it. Gaming websites cover big events of Gaming shows. Your blasting them for doing their job. You may not want to hear about it, but the fact is, a large portion of other people do, gaming sites don't stop posting news about something just because some people don't care about it.
_____________________________ _______________________________ _____

I later got an email saying:
"None of your comments that aren't showing have been deleted, they're currently listed under spam as we feel the discussion on this post has finished, thanks for your contributions."

It's finished? If it was finished then I wouldn't have had to reply. It's only finished because you don't want to hear what other people have to say. What's the point of a comment section if your going to stifle free speech like that.

1.24 - Not really
If we look at the most published and known franchise: Metal Gear, Mario, Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Zelda, Killzone, Resident Evil. All those game didn't have nudity or half naked chicks running all over the place. I think it's simply idiotic to add girls for the simple purpose of being sexy and naughty. It's a game I want to play If I wanted naked girls I would ask my gf or go jerk off with a porno. Same reason I lost interest in SoulCalibur because I though it was ridiculously immature. I think it's making us (Gamers) looking like perverts while we don't need that kind of image. Anyway, my opinion.

While I understand the point that this isn't news and it is juvenile and only helps to reinforce the stereotype that gamers are socially inept losers that can't get laid even by paying for it, the point remains that for people that are atrracted to women, naked women are interesting. Some people are more interested naked women than others; I think it correlates to their ability to see a naked woman on a regular basis. But your outrage only raises an even more pressing question: why do naked women, or people interested in naked women, bother you so much?

EDIT: The sad reality is that the people that propel those stories to the top really are those socially inept losers who spend all day on N4G, or they just like them some titties. I don't know about you, but titties put a smile on my face.

Sex sales (or in this case gets hits.) That's how it's always worked.

I'm not ashamed that I viewed that article. I think Olivia is very beautiful and sexy. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I'm a guy, and most normal humans have the attraction to aesthetically pleasing images/women/etc.

I really don't see anything wrong with it being the top story. She's a gaming tv host so she does have a strong presence in any gaming website/area (especially since she is so attractive.)

That's just how things are and there really is no point (IMO,) to getting angry about it. Whoever doesn't like it can simply pass it by.

It's on the top of the news cause everyone got hyped up about it, then they were angered about it not being full nude, so that increased its publicity even more.

Sorry. I see an open door, I have to slam it.

You know how all the fanboys on this site call out the other fanboys for being fanboys while pretending not to be fanboys. Oh well, Cheers for the married guys. I am as well.

In this case you should have asked "What is the big Deal?" like i did ask with the Oliva Munn article.

Your headline is, Whats is it with gamers and naked women which is kinda stupid because we know that most gamers hardcore anyway are males and we know that most males like to see naked women, its just natural and its nothing to be ashamed of.

Those that talk about stereotyping are hyprocrites themselves.
