So, why were people so surprised?<br /><br />Cosmopolitan magazine prints articles all the time emphasizing how hot certain men are, with many lower-brow magazines showing topless hunks all the time, despite knowing that a rather high percentage of some of these magazines are actually men. Do you see men writing in to complain about the sexualisation of men in magazines?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-50828918937415539742013-04-01T15:11:13.059-07:002013-04-01T15:11:13.059-07:00I definitely remember those letters and reacting t...I definitely remember those letters and reacting to them with indifference or mild annoyance. I was also around 13 years old. I do remember EGM being pretty bad about the HOT GAME BABES stuff. In the interest of uhm, equality they printed some pretty bad fan art of Cloud in his underwear. EGM didn't get better as time went on either. I quit subscribing to EGM around 2004 when it read like an issue of Maxim with embarrassing articles like an interview with the "hottest gamer girl" and "how to get your girlfriend to play video games!"<br />Samnoreply@blogger.com
