First, the vast majority of people know the difference between VG's and reality, not just "some". Give our species a lil more credit than that plz.

I believe that the nastiness of GG spreading through the internet like wildfire is a product of men believing that women are objects to be used and abused as they so desire
Those folks who attack Anita do not represent all men, not even close.

They are behaviors caused by video games
Conjecture, at best. You can't possibly say that they only able to do so because they played video games... Video Games are not responsible for those individuals behavior. GTA V has sold 35 million copies but hasnt change they way ppl function in the real word, to the best of my knowledge(and multiple article's chronicling the decrease of all forms of violence over the past 20 yrs in correlation to increased gaming.) Here's an interesting aticle about how "bad" vg behavior may change us tho.

If they weren't hacking her, they were gonna be hacking someone else. Their criminals, thats all. They don't represent an entire gender.

Now, back to FF. Why is it wrong for Cidney to be visually appealing to men? Many of the men is this game have idealized figures, and are appealing to women. Thats doesn't automatically make them a "sexualized trope". Frankly tho, I believe sexualizing characters is a normal thing humans do. I also don't believe women are "damaged" by these characters either. I give the female gender the credit deserved. Most women are very capable of seeing a game for what it is.
