In Response To: Re: lol feminism (Eiii) I put this in the comments, but I kinda doubt it will be approved, so here it is. I have to disagree with you on two points, Dare being weak, and Dare being a sex object. First we will tackle the sex object. First off, she isn't sexualized, at all. She isn't pretty, and never once in the game is put in a position where the game focuses on her body (unlike some cases with Cortana). There is one person who makes the comment of looking at her body, Romeo, and he is a stereotype male chauvinist, who is hated by pretty much everyone, and is even the weak person of the group (he is the only one to come out harmed, of the ODST's). So not only is Dare not a sexual object to the player, she isn't one to any body ingame (besides Romeo), heck Bungie basically punishes the only person who does. Next part, Dare isn't strong? How is she a Damsel in distress? She landed in the middle of covenant activity, on the low ground, without cover. Statistically, backup from a force of people who have equal cover is the smart way to survive, especially since she was the most important member of her team. Not only did she then leave the area, she managed to cover a huge area of covenant enforced ground and continue the mission. Everyone else arrives at her "rescue" to late and find out she did everything by herself. There are other points I could go on about, most of her heat from the team comes from the fact she is in ONI (which you won't understand unless you read some other material dealing with the Halo Universe). The deal with Sgt. Johnson (he is actually a lot more powerful then the games give him credit for). I do agree with you on the point of the Rookie's sex, it should have been left up to the player, for two reasons: 1) The game would not have changed depending on the gender. 2) Customizing is fun, and a better way to get incorporated into a character.
