games

2. GTA – Grand Theft Auto 5
GTA (grand theft auto) is seen as one of the most sexist
games out right now. The game portrays a view of a
street life there fore each character is based upon that
stereotype. The men in grand theft auto are shown as
drug dealers and how they are street ‘ thugs ‘ who involve
in extreme violence the game allows you to do kill people
or/and use guns or any knifes to do this. It is purposely
done to show the life of the game. The men are shown to
be ‘pimps ‘ while on the other hand women are used as
sex objects or ‘ strippers ‘ in the game. The men almost
control the women again used as sex objects the game
allows you ‘ the character ‘ to do anything with the
women. The clothes they are wearing also portrays this a
lot. The men are often shown to be able to abuse the
women in the game. This also adds to the women shown
as objects.

3. Assassin's Creed
The next game I will be focusing on is the assassins creed. This is
an explanation of what the game is about ‘ The Assassin's Creed
franchise as a whole tells the story of the Assassin Order, also
known as the Brotherhood, and their enemies, the Templars. The
two forces have been fighting a philosophical war for centuries:
the Assassins believe in total freedom for all people, while the
Templars believe true peace is achieved through establishing
order ‘. The representation of men in this game is shown to be
strong warriors, this is based around twins who lived in London
in the 19th century, therefore shows how they need to protect
each other as siblings. The game shows that as a man and
woman they both can do the game activities. This shows that
men and women are equal and are able to have similar qualities.
So this game gives a very positive repetition of women as a
whole.

4. Rise of the Tomb Raider
The rise of the tomb raider is based around the woman
being protagonist. But this is shown in a strong female
way the men here are shown lower than her as she is
shown to be more superior as a woman. This game
contradicts many other games that use women as toys
and only for pleasure. This game breaks that idea and
goes into giving the woman in the game a higher status
than the men in this game.
