Sex, Murder, and Video Games
Video games are the fastest growing form of media among children, youth, and young adults. Although there are many games on the market that are appropriate, engaging, and even educational, there is a significant subset that feature violence, killing, and gore. Unfortunately, some also objectify women and glamorize sexual exploitation and violence. At a time when fightening numbers of women are victims of sexual violence, it is unconscionable that major game makers portray extreme violence toward women as entertainment. Sadly these games are among the most popular with boys and young men. This video explores this dark and disturbing side of the video and computer game industry.
