Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research

Sexualization in video games does not appear to harm players, according to new research published in Computers in Human Behavior. The findings indicate that playing video games does not lead to misogynistic views or detrimental mental health outcomes.

So it turns out that what rational people have been saying forever is actually correct, lol. Sexual content has as much of an impact on reality as violent content has, which is: Zero.

"The major caveat is simply that many of the studies just aren't very good," Ferguson said. "The good news is that the higher quality studies were less likely to find evidence for negative effects than lower quality studies. In some cases, scholars probably interjected their personal moral opinions into the studies, if unintentionally. Granted it's still a fairly small research area, but this initial data has been so underwhelming that I'm not sure there's much to be mined here."

I find this part especially important, because it calls out the moral panic from those who support censorship of sexual content.

Now if only the world could be sane and accept this result, but looking at the Resetera-thread, they're already in full on "you're a nazi if you agree with this study" mode. :|

I remember when I bought Metal Gear Solid 3 back in 2004, my mom had to be there with you to get her permission. Granted MGS usually only had mild cursing so I dunno.

Don't post articles from right-wing chuds. We will peruse this thread for posts that break the rules as well.

Literally calling the authors of the study "right-wing chuds". All authors are renowned scientists in their field and the study was pubished by a respect journal. Just shocks me how anti-fact the world has become. What can you even do to fight extremists when scientific studies are being dismissed like that?
