Lara Croft’s character is how her pose, and clothing are clear examples of objectifying women.
Tomb raider is one of the first games with a female protagonist which I can see as a positive action done by the developers, but the way they have displayed her character is engunuin since on the one hand, it’s promoting female protagonist, but then on the other hand the cover has subliminal messages behind the character to make her more desired by sexualizing her.
-She is shown to be a sex icon, reinforced by her clothing and the way she pants and breathes heavily throughout the game. She is also know to have a 24inch waist and a 36inch bus.
Lara Croft – originally Laura Cruz name changed for US audience. Female archaeologist and action hero

Strinati points out that ‘the distinction between culture and society is being eroded’ (231) and suggests that our sense of reality (the overarching metanarrative) appears to come from the culture (eg the media), rather than from society which is then reproduced, represented and relayed through media communication. In terms of media studies, this marks a juncture from previous conceptions of mass media communication, for example, as a ‘relay system’ – a process which just relays information and events in real time to a mass society, or the conception of the media as a ‘window on the world’ (Strinati:233). From a societal perspective the ‘real’ seems to be imploding in on itself, a ‘process leading to the collapse of boundaries between the real and simulations’ (Barker & Emma, 2015:242). A process which the French intellectual Jean Baudrillard would describe as IMPLOSION which gives rise to what he terms SIMULACRA. The idea that although the media has always been seen as a representation of reality – a simulation, from Baudrillard’s perspective of implosion, it is has become more than a representation or simulation and it has become SIMULACRUM not just a representation of the real, but the real itself, a grand narrative that is ‘truth‘ in its own right: an understanding of uncertain/certainty that Baudrillard terms the HYPERREAL.
