I have to take issue with a lot of the shots aimed at movies and games, specifically those that take place hundreds or thousands of years ago. Many of the story arcs before the 60s would be at odds with history if the protagonist was female. While not all of these games or movies are particularly "historically accurate" in many respects, it would be especially odd for, say, Band of Brothers or God of War to have major female characters, given the cultures and time periods they're based on. Like it or not, there simply wasn't much opportunity for women to do anything significant without sparking some kind of irrational witch hunt, so putting a woman on the Omaha Beach or going toe-to-toe with a Minotaur would be unusual to say the least.
Same thing goes for comic books; if you're going to get worked up over the treatment of women in their story arcs, please try to pay attention to when the arc in question was published. It's not exactly fair to get worked up over a story that was written before the women's rights movement even began. Does that make it any less stupid? Of course not. It is, however, unfair to take the piss out of the author for writing something that was, at the time, not at all challenged ideologically.
With that said, fuck the Transformers movies for adding love interests that were never in the fucking TV shows. Those were a horrendous abuse of female stereotypes that added nothing to the (admittedly atrocious) plots. Not that Transformers has ever had good plots, but still... Also, fuck every video game (looking at you LoL) that insists that women characters have to look like whores when they're fighting, and makes the support/healer characters either female or gay. No sane person would ever wear heels, a mini skirt, and hair down to their ass in a fight, at least not if they wanted to win, so knock it off.
