  • Studies have shown that through the influence of the occupation setting and type of game characters, children will think that the occupations they are exposed to are suitable for their gender, so as to avoid trying opportunities that are considered unsuitable.
  • Game build a child's perception of the world, and when there are stereotypes and gender biases in games, children are affected by them.

    • Looking at the design of half the characters, basically a lot of their outfits have no practical usage in the game 
    • When compared to the male counterparts/male protagonist of the video game we can see the different situation 
    • In the past, lot of female characters were given the role of damsel of distress 
    • Modern day, the female market is slowly being targeted, with characters that are more relatable and some cases where strong female characters are the focus 
    • Jinx(from arcane) being a very good example of this, with a female character that does not follow the traditional stereotypes/tropes of a female

    • Essentially most of the Female Characters are feminized imitations or derivative copies of already known male characters.
    • Using feminine gender labels on top of male characters to make them "female characters".
    • Like red bow, red lipstick, an eye with makeup, long lashes, etc.

    - With the world not being as progressive in the 2010s, most protagonists were white men while female characters were the supporting cast and were always basically sexualized

    Women are frequently portrayed in video games in a way that adheres to gender norms, sexual objectification, or tropes like the "damsel in distress." Due to the heteronormativity of the gaming industry, LGBT characters have been slow to make an appearance in video games. Male characters are frequently prototypically portrayed as big and muscular.

Female characters are more likely than male characters to be portrayed as sexualized (60% versus 1%), scantily clad (39% versus 8%) and as showing a mix of sex and aggression (39 versus 1%).

However, scholarly study of representation in games has fallen far behind. Video game makers are responding to these criticisms. Gaming Representation looks at how race, gender, and sexual orientation are portrayed in a variety of games, including casual ones like Diner Dash, independent ones like Journey and The Binding of Isaac, and popular ones from the Grand Theft Auto, BioShock, Spec Ops, The Last of Us, and Max Payne series. claiming that identity and representation in games are systems with a closer relationship to code and platforms
