Video games influence sexist attitudes

As a person who now identifies as a gay black woman I find this font offensive.

You made me spill my coffee again. :laugh:

I find your question offensive. What about humans that are gender neutral? We don't "play games" you CIS scum. We procedurally advance our sensitivity. I wouldn't expect a close minded CIS-Gender scumbag like you to understand.

FIGHT THE PATRIARCHY, MATRIARCHY, MONARCHY AND THE OF CONTINUING EXPLOITATION KITTEN TITTIES!

GTA is nothing. Try playing DoA (Dead or Alive). Now, that game IS sexually offensive. Add in nude mod, you get a porn game.

What about Japanese Illusion company? They produce high quality porn games.
And what about Wash Dogs?! (Which is oddly rated for 18+)

Sex sells easier.

If advertisement can subconsciously alter people's perception of a product, I don't see why games, with the added gateway to the mind that is the -quasi- feeling of agency, can't influence an attitude that is clearly prevalent in them.

Whether games alone can do that, however, is a moot point (and bad reductionism, imo). A person psychology isn't determined by a single factor. Someone who's grown to take games completely detached from reality might simply see all the huge bouncy tits and infer a developer who's too much into hentai. Another person who's raised in a community that looks at women a little more than sex slaves might play games with nothing but confirmation bias. The previous examples are also guilty for the said bad reductionism.

TL;RD, I'm voting yes.

DoA used to be okay. It used to be a decent fighting game. At some point though, the dev started to milk the franchise which was dying.

Their answer was DoA beachvolly ball game which later turned into a lot more extreme.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is the latest addition to it and it's a sex game, only available in Japan. U can of course import it. I did not.

... bad reductionism ...

Can't help the reductionism in sandbox games, because that genre is by definition a reduction of reality ... if the game lets you kill thousands, they are trivializing human life ... if the game is showing some skin, they are trivializing sexuality ... because interactive nature of the medium lets player be part of the story, if the player is sociopath, the story gets colored that way too.
Simple reduction of NPC reaction spectrum and reduction of player's interaction options towards them, makes any exhaustion of interaction exercise in abuse ... and yes normal person can seem like a sociopath when playing GTA5, while real sociopaths find the real life much more appealing.

I'm convinced there's brainwashing/mind control happening over social media. People can't seem to help themselves but raise up and talk about issues that are meaningless.

Like this lovely lady for instance, now she on the other hand doesn't seem feminist at all.

I don't think Tomb Raider portray Lara Croft in a negative light. Quite the opposite in fact. She's a touch independent woman who kicks butt.

We quoting the Stones now? Screw it. WHERES MY BROWN SUGAR?!

"Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields ,sold in a market down in New Orleans"

As a kid listening to those records it was a hell of a lot harder to figure out what they were saying than it is today with the Internet. Ever since I actually learned what they were saying in that song it kind of change the meaning quite a bit for me ,from a happy song about brown sugar ,to something entirely different.,the second verse is far worse tbh.....innocence lost

Hank venture NEVER stares meaninglessly. Also ,it just so happens that batman mask was maddening ,because he kept getting his tongue stuck in the mouth cut out. It's more likely that he was pontificating his pov

No, it didn't.

I know all about that Hot Coffee from back in the days. A search for hot coffee has a couple of reference images to GTA SA plus MacDonald's hot coffee.

But I can't see anything to suggest she isn't a feminist.
