Congratulations to valve for creating a universe filled with respectable and strong female characters. Just a quick note from a father and a husband :)

I've honestly got no clue if this is sarcastic or not. Plenty of the female characters are depicted in skimpy outfits and have sexualized voice lines (QoP and Lina being the most egregious, but most of the non-monsterlike female heroes have it to some degree). 18/116 is like 15%, 15% of the characters are female and by my count, about 8 are sexualized in some manner (voice lines, wearing skimpy outfits, etc), meanwhile the vast majority of heroes are men and I can't find a single example outside of maybe Zeus being shirtless. Dota heroes are almost all men, and there's pretty much no sexualization, meanwhile of the few female heroes there are, almost all the human ones are sexualized.

I'm not one of those people who thinks you need equal representation forced in everything all the time, and I don't have a huge problem with sexualization inherently if kept in appropriate places, but the argument that dota 2 is some feminist paradise is so absurd that I'm unsure as to whether it's genuine.
