Pirat_Nation @Pirat_Nation Study finds no link between sexualized female video game characters and misogyny. Meta-analysis (18 studies) shows no connection between sexualized game characters and reduced self-esteem, body image issues, or sexist attitudes.

But But! Anita Sarkeesian said there was a co-relation between women being sexualized / objectified in games and misogyny!!
So it must be true right!? /S

But in all seriousness it sure does give a feeling of vindication to see that she was blatantly wrong about everything she said..
And, a slight tangent here but i'm pretty sure many female gamers sexualize men in video games.. Just go watch them thirst over male dating sims where they are the insert female protagonist and are trying to woo in game male characters..

Hell, I'd be willing to bet that most of the "Yaoi" fan fiction based on existing IP's is written by women who are wanting to sexualize men into their ideal pairing...

But apparently men playing video games with women in skin tight outfits is "The Problem"?

Yeah, nah.. I don't buy that for a second..

Not surprising, considering women are more likely to play as sexualized female characters: https://en.shiftdelete.net/female-gamers-drawn-to-highly-sexualized-characters-despite-reservations-study-reveals/

Also, unsurprisingly, women say they dislike sexualization, but behave otherwise

Misogyny doesn’t exist, how could it be linked to anything.
