인간은 자연계에서 두 발로 걷는 유일한 존재로, 발은 사람의 표정과 마찬가지로 상황, 사람, 감정 등에 반응하여, 분위기나 느낌을 무의식적이지만 적극적으로 표현한다. 우아하고 품위 있는 걸음걸이는 성적 매력과 에로틱한 감정을 불러 일으키는 핵심이 되며, 이것은 특히 여성에게 적용된다. 인간뿐 아니라 다른 많은 동물들에게서도 걸음걸이는 구애나 짝짓기를 하는 기간동안 과장된 성적 매력을 발산하는데, 이는 성적인 신호뿐 아니라 성적 흥분 그 자체에도 기여한다. (중략)

Das ursprngliche menshiche Verlangen nach Erotik hatte trotz der Unterdruckung und des Verbots seit der Anfang der Zeit bis heute stets das menschliche Interesse auf sich gezogen. Diese Erotik drckte nicht nur die knstlerische Handlung aus, sondern sie hat auch eine enge Beziehung zur kubischen Darstellung von Mode. Sie beschreibt die innere menschliche Welt und ist der Motor der individuellen Mode. Die Erotik entsteht wesentlich aus der Tiefe der menschlichen Psyche, ist sowohl erzeugende und starke schpferische Krfte als auch der Antrieb zur Annhrung der unsterblichen Welt. Darberhinaus ist sie auch der Wunsch jedes Individums, sich selbst zu entdecken. Diese Erotik beruht sich in unserem Unterbewutsein und Sie bricht nur dann aus, wenn der Mensch von der rtselhaften Leidenschaft beherrscht wird. Dardurch werden gewisse Krfte frei und sie motivieren den Menschen durch verschieden knstlerische Darstellung diese Erotik auszudrcken. Dieser ganz natrliche Ausdruck menschlicher Begierde wurde durch Kleidung nach Auen signalisiert. Damit drckte der Mensch seine Individualitt aus, und versuchte sich den anderen gegenber so reizvoll wie mglich zu zeigen und wirkte sehr anziehend. Schlilich hat er sich als Sex-Appeal zur Schau gestellt. Solches menschliche Sehnsucht nach Erotik wurde seit dem Altertum bis heute durch verschiedene erotische Kieidungen zum Ausdruck gerbracht.

While there is no apparent gender difference on the number of game players and playing time in market survey especially if the age group is under 30, there still exists a strong gender stereotype on female characters with sexual objectification especially in team based battle games. Furthermore, there seldom exists any research on female gamers in this genre. In this paper, we investigate the preference of female characters and reasons of their choice among female gamers with Overwatch and Cypers which are recognized as having enough female players. In Overwatch with 231 responses, subjects prefer 'girl-crush' characters such as non-sexual Ana who age is in 60s. However, in Cypers that does not have female warrior character, subjects' preference is more affected by appearance but those characters with less functional ability are not frequently used in playing. Such practical avatar choice is often discovered among male players thus there is no gender difference in this case.
