Virtual Woman: Women
built 228 days ago
[One] criticism of Virtual Woman was that the premise of early versions of the program was sexist. In response CyberPunk Software hired a female head of beta testing and development to oversee game play and user feedback. Since that time sales of the program to women has risen from 15% in 1998 to over 40% today. This is an unusually high female registration rate for a software program or game. Whether this is due to increasing realism of the program's social interactions, expanded use of the Internet by women, or for some other reason is unknown.

Webbie’s already fairly thin by most standards, as you may have guessed, and the creation of a virtual woman with a “perfect” body raises some disturbing questions in the national dialogue about body images. At a time when Camryn Manheim’s book Wake Up, I’m Fat! is a bestseller, and stars like Calista Flockhart are criticized for encouraging eating disorders among young girls, could Webbie be part of a fashion-industry backlash against recent skepticism about media images of women?
