series. Lara Croft, a fictional female British archeaologist, created
by Toby Garb(who later left Core Design because of the sexuality
marketed with Lara), in 1996, was the number one female video game star for the next 5 years, and is just now making a strong return with
her latest adventure told in "Tomb Raider: Underworld". Lara was an
inspiration to me, as I'm very interested in ancient civilizations and
history. However, with the innocent game and comic book series, Lara
eventually was turned into, by society, a sex symbol, a sexual fantasy
for many, and her once known image as a noble adventurer was invaded
with such media such as the image below. Here, Lara is naked in a
swimming pool, and has a friend over, who is obviously nude as well,
and based on the conversation, there are indications of female
homosexuality between the two. This is bollocks. Pure bloody rubbish.
Lara Croft is a noble adventurer, a gaming icon, a hero to many that
has been marketed far too well as a sex symbol. Society is coming
down. And for this, we should be ashamed.
