The
topic that I have chosen to write a blog about is if sexism in video games
really exists. The reason I chose this topic is because it is an issue that is
widely debated, especially in today’s day and age. There are many arguments
that say that violent video games have the ability to bring out people’s
violent behavior, and make them carry out violent acts in real life. If this is
true, can it be said that video games can also create sexist mindsets that can
result in actual violence against women.
The point of this blog is to find out
if sexism is really present in video games. I want to try to find out if this
is the case or not and if so, does this cause harmful acts against women in reality.
I also want to uncover if the men who are sexist have sexist tendencies before
playing games, or if it is the games that cause them to think that way. I also
want to discern why people make this argument if it turns out that video games
do not create sexist mindsets.
