An eating disorder charity is asking the gaming industry to get real with its depiction of female bodies.
‘With such high attention to detail in gaming, why can’t they accurately portray the female body?,’ Bulimia.com asks.
To shine a light on the unrepresentative, and potentially harmful, portrayal of women’s bodies in the industry, they have given some of the most famous female characters realistic makeovers, using the average American woman’s measurements.’
‘These days, there’s rarely a media type that isn’t criticized for its body image depictions, and video games are no exception,’ they write on their blog.
