when it comes to stereotypes in video games, almost every game has stereotypes within the games industry. Some stereotypes in games include racism and sexism.
Sexism in games has been a big part of the games industry as most of the gamers are male. A big game that has had sexism in the game is Tomb Raider. when a female hero in the game is half naked. Lara Croft has been the half naked heroic ever since its first appearance in 1996.
Racism in games is the most offensive stereotype that is in games as most games in this year include racism. One of the biggest game franchises that include racism is Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft Auto includes some of the most foul language that can be said. In Grand Theft Auto V you take control of 3 People Trevor and Michael who are white and Franklin who is black. When taking control of Franklin Your job is to Steal vehicles this is racist as the game is saying that all Black People steal. Also when taking control of Franklin your character uses the 'N' word a lot.
Another game that uses sexism is Mortal Kombat. When taking control of a female fighter you for example Jade and Kitana are sisters and wear the same outfit but in different colors these 2 characters are piratically naked or are show areas of the body.These 2 characters wear the same outfit in every Mortal Kombat game. This is sexist as the game producers are saying that only male gamers play Mortal Kombat.
Another game that has racism in there game is Dead island. The game includes a Black rapper of course if there was to be a crazy rapper during a zombie apocalypse he would be black. This game is racist as the makers of the games are say that all African Americans are black.
