Video games and the way each gender is depicted in video games is a highly discussed topic with the main part of the discussion being around the overly sexual nature in which female characters a depicted within games and the high body standards that are placed on female gamers. Although there is also a high discussion around how female characters are usually played as the damsel in distress and it is quite uncommon for the main protagonist to be a female character although there are quite a few successful AAA games with strong main female characters such as the "Tomb Raider" series with Lara Croft as the main protagonist and also the "Metroid" series with Samus Aran serving as the main protagonist.
