People often try to count Duke Nukem among the ranks of the most the most inflammatory anti female video games in the industry. To that I say... well yeah. Duke Nukem tries to be as controversial as possible. That was one of the driving allures of the game back in it 2D days. If anything I don't count Duke Nukem as a crime against women because it doesn't attempt to be taken seriously. The "Macho" Duke is a parody of the ridiculous nature of 80's and 90's action films. While his games are certainly offensive to many people, that is kind of what satire does a lot of the time. I would rather see people make games with objectified female characters and have people react with disgust than have people make games where the mistreatment of female characters slips under the radar.
