Sexism in Video Games - Is it real, and if so, how can we fix it?

While the majority of E3 has been about games – how they control, what they look like, and how fun they are – there has, unfortunately, been a concern brewing within the bowels of the event, and that concern is the representation of women in video games.

No it's not real... can't fix something that's in people's imagination... it's called seeing something that's not there... some people call that 'Mental Illness'.

I wouldn't say it's not real. Sometimes you'll find that kind of prejudice, whether it be racism, sexism, etc., in some of the most unlikely places. Metroid Other M is one of the few games I've played where I felt the writing was sexist. You could argue Duke Nukem Forever as well, but that was put in place there to be controversial on purpose. And there are some sexist gamers out there, whether they be feminist gamers who hate men or male gamers who think women have no place playing games. It's all a matter of perspective, I think.

It's also happening outside my window as we speak but nobody wants to talk about that.. oh no.. let's focus on the games because they impact on real women a lot worse.

All I'm saying is problem solving starts in real life at home/work/society where women actually suffer... THEN I'm willing to listen about things happening in computers.

randomass1713965d ago

I agree with you there. It has a lot more to do with people than with the games themselves.

By getting rid of sexist people, and NOT confusing sexy with sexist.
Just because people like that POS Anita Sarkeesian want you to believe gamers AND gaming are all sexist, doesn't mean it's the truth.

The girl from Infamous Second Son is hardly attractive. With that said, I think your holistic vision is moving in the right direction.

Playstation owners buy games.

Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.

Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.

Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.

The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.

Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.

ShadowLeap2h ago

Dying breed? that's an understatement, They should add XBox fans on the endangered species list along with white horn rhinos at this point LOL.

1.1m ps5 vs 200k xb in just 1 month on the latest sales report.

andy851h ago

Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)

This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.

2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.

This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.

The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!
