Sexiam game do not generate sexism in user

I don't think that particular article was mentioned here, but the contention is by some groups (not backed by data), that sexism in video game make people go sexist in real life (Mrs Sarkeesan conteded so in one video about video trope and female).

This is on the same level as "video game cause violence" Thompson level.

And it seems there are studies now showing actually, no, there is not such an effect.

Enlisting a 3 year longitudinal design, the present study assessed the relationship between video game use and sexist attitudes, using data from a representative sample of German players aged 14 and older (N=824). Controlling for age and education, it was found that sexist attitudes--measured with a brief scale assessing beliefs about gender roles in society--were not related to the amount of daily video game use or preference for specific genres for both female and male players.

I am all for diversity , reversing role and having the prince in distress, this makes for more stories, and open new horizons.

But at least it seem the "but it makes gamer sexist" can be put to sleep.
