are video games sexist
Bookmarked 603 weeks ago are video games rife with sexism and have you heard that most video gamers are now adult womennot teenage boys in the basement a new study says so feminist tech writers have seized on the study as proof that the video industry has fallen behind the times: too many games they say perpetuate a culture of sexism and misogynywatch the factual feminist serieshttps:wwwyoutubecomplaylistlist=plyttjqksqqtr7bqc1jf4nv3g2ydfu7xmdsubscribe aei039s youtube channelhttps:wwwyoutubecomuseraeivideossub_confirmation=1like us on facebookhttps:wwwfacebookcomaeionlinefollow us on twitterhttps:twittercomaeifor more informationhttp:wwwaeiorgissuesociety-and-culturerace-and-genderfactual-feministpartial transcript:when i took a look at the entertainment software association study i was a little surprised to find that yours truly the factual feminist herself counted as a gamer i do not recall playing a video game since pac-man in a bar in cambridge massin 1980 the study counted anyone who plays however occasionally simple smartphone games like bejeweled or angry birds i dont fault the researchers for their findings its great that the world of games is expanding and there are more women creating and playing games but a distinction is in order there are casual game playersand there are hard-core gamers for whom highly complex competitive video games are a primary life passion adult women are not a key demographic here consider just one typical data sample: researchers at ucla have been studying the pastimes of college freshmen for more than 40 years for incoming freshmen 65 percent of girls but fewer than 19 percent of boys said they played no video games at all in a typical week among hardcore gamers who play more than 20 hours a week the ratio of boys to girls is 7 to 1 this huge gender gap has persisted since the researchers first started asking about video games in the mid-1990sand it looks like its here to stay but are video games rife with sexism do they promote a culture of misogyny and violence that must be dismantled my answer is no as i looked into the literature on gaming i discovered that gamers make a lot of people nervous not only are most of them malebut the games they like tend to be action-packed competitive and often violent and they like to play thema lot gamers have long faced disapproval from moms and teachers andabove allresearchers and politiciansconcernocratsboth liberal and conservative for years games such as grand theft auto and call of duty were said to cause violence even though no one was able to establish a clear correlation those concerns died down when psychological bulletin published a major article in 2010 declaring the video game scare much ado about nothing one graph showed that as video games have surged in popularity youth crime has plummeted but now gamers are dealing with a new army of critics: gender activists and hipsters with degrees in cultural studies these critics are concerned that gaming is a largely hetero-patriachal capitalist pursuit why isnt gaming more inclusive why must there always be male heroes why are the few females always portrayed as either damsels in distress or sex objects these critics have made some useful points about sexist tropes and narratives but they ignore the fact that the world of gaming has become more inclusive there are games that fit a vast array of preferences and games with responsibly proportioned and appropriately garbed female protagonists yet the video game gender police have become harsh and intolerant many of them want more than more women on both sides of the video screenthey want the male video game culture to end male gamers as a group do evince a strong a preference for games with male heroes and sexy women could that be because they aremale there is no evidence that these games are making males racist misogynist or homophobic in fact all the data we have suggests that millennial malesborn and raised in video game nationare far less prone to these prejudices than previous generations imagine if a group of gender critics attacked women-centered shows like oprah or the view or womens magazines for privileging the female perspective and treating men like the other the fans might be tempted to tell them to bug offand find their own shows that is what many gamers did and most did it with logic and evidence and humor but recently two feminist critics received and publicized email death threats no one knows who sent themare video games sexist |
