Some games like Grand Theft Auto include content that's misogynist and may condone violence towards women such as rape or murder. According to Doctor Karen Dill"When women are consistently shown as sex objects rather than agents, consistently depicted in demeaning and degrading ways, and consistently shown as submissive, the result is to condone and support violence against women, coercion of women, and anti-woman attitudes".In additon, according to a 2007 study, it showed that male characters were significantly more likely to be portrayed as aggressive (83 per cent of males versus 62 per cent of female characters) while female characters were much more likely to be portrayed in a sexualized way (60 per cent of females versus just 1 per cent of male characters.)
Even though many people of different identities play video games, the diversity is not usually showed in the games themselves. White male character usually dominate in the majority of popular games while the non-white characters often play the roles of sidekick or the villian. According to a 2011 study, it found that only 3 per cent of all video game characters were Hispanic, fewer than 11 per cent were African-American and none were Aboriginal or biracial. Other studies have found that African-American characters are confined to a narrow range of game genres such as sports titles and games tied to celebrities such as 50 Cent and more likely to be represented as villains and were often given particularly frightening characteristics.
