Representation of gender in games BY MUNIRBA

GTA – Grand Theft Auto 5GTA (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.

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.

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.
