Gender In Video Games



   In most of video games women are said to be violated especially in a game called GTA( Grand Theft Auto). Women are beaten up and characterized as prostitutes and not to forget to mention that you cant be a female character playing the game . It is apparent that the traditional woman depicted in video games is the most popular role of women in video games are stereotypical and traditional in nature .It is arguedthat these characterizations may have a real effect upon the attitudes of children toward women and relationships and their expectations about behaviour. The predominantly male (88.5%) and heterosexual (92%) community of game developers designs their female characters as weak, distracted, and as having vices. According to Electronic Entertainment Design and Research, the lack of strong female characters present in video games is due to the fact 
that "there's a sense in the industry that games with female heroes won’t sell". A German longitudinal study was distributed that investigated the association in the middle of gaming and sexist states of mind. This study investigated whether video games changed sexist states of mind amongst its members. The study additionally took an exceptionally wide perspective of video games and did not particularly target recreations with sexuality substanceThat is a considerable measure of information  significantly, it likewise originates before any present debate with respect to the conviction that playing recreations some way or another makes individuals sexist.Concerning who subsidized the exploration in the event that it were a diversions distributes then that would raise doubt about the study, as they would plainly have a personal stake in the outcomes. The study was based around development hypothesis, which sets that long haul introduction to media substance can influence our impression of our general surroundings. The outcomes comprehensively demonstrate that playing videogames doesn't make individuals sexist. The principal is the certainty this was longitudinal study and the second is who subsidized the exploration. Those two vital focuses aside, as the study was led in Germany it's misty how material these discoveries would be to different nations. So playing bunches of video games ought to influence individuals somehow.
