15 Most Offensive Gaming Characters Ever

9. Rikku (Final Fantasy X)

The Character: Yuna's perky Al Bhed cousin, Rikku, a thief who gives Tidus a helping hand when he first arrives in Spira, and then join Yuna as one of her guardians on her pilgrimage to destroy Sin.

Why They're Offensive: Rikku is 15 years old at the time of FFX, by the way, an uncomfortable realisation that's not immediately clear considering how overly sexualised she is throughout the game. Frequently kitted out in a skimpy bikini top and visible G-string, it's wildly inappropriate given her age. While it's important to remember that the age of consent in Japan is just 13, it's still likely to be seen as incredibly icky to most western players. Video games already have enough of a problem with leering at fully-grown women, but now children as well? Jeez...
