I don't think sexist characters in video games make people more sexist.
I don't think violent characters in video games make people more violent.

However, IC sexism in video games have nothing to do with how sexist the industry and culture IRL is or how they see/view women. You don't see video game companies encouraging violence, but you do see, for example, a whole lot of them encouraging sexism by constantly believing in tired old stereotypes - but lol all women want to do is play Barbie Horse Adventures on their pink DS, rite?

Don't forget all the scantily clad female sex-object fap-fodder that's goddamned everywhere. That's not the character being sexist IC, that's the company deciding that men will fap to this and therefore pay lots of money. When someone complains about things like that, they're not saying the character is sexist, they're saying the designers, developers, and marketers are.

This is a good point (both comments). I was trying to figure out why I see a difference between the two and I think you've hit it.

DA

or the huge lack of female action protagonists in videogames, in comparison with male ones

and then when a game is a failure, they blame the fact that it had a female protagonist instead of the real reasons like crappy writing, bad implementation of features, etc.

I mean, off the top of my head: Samus Aran, Lara Croft, Bayonetta, Faith, Jade, Chell, that PS3 title with the sword-wielding woman?

while this is a good point, I don't see how it contradicts anything that was said above

the second comment by the same anon did, try reading it

I don't think violence/sexism/misogyny in video games makes people who whouldn't otherwise be more violent/sexist/misogynist, but I do think it normalizes them. And the more "normal" they become, the more acceptable they can become in the minds of many who have an inclination for those things.
