    I chose Mario on Mario Kart. That means my idealized body image is a stout man with a comically Italian mustache.

    Player characters with exaggerated sexuality doesn’t mean much in and of itself. Just as a boy might choose the super macho character with impossibly huge muscles and a square jaw, so too might a girl choose the hyper feminine character that she thinks is cute.

    In those egregious games where the character is poorly masked soft porn, I doubt many girls would pick the character

      edit: Clarifying - didn't mean to imply you're being the nerd, but like that I'm correcting you and I'm being an obnoxious nerd
