Video Gaming


Believe it or not there are stereotypes in video games. I'm not too much of a gamer. I used to be, but not so much anymore. From what I remember, the best characters were usually the black or the asian characters. This shows the stereotype of asians being fighters and blacks being the athletic badasses. When I think of martial arts, I think of asians. They are known for their martial art fighting ability and it shows in games. Also I find it interesting that they try to make the girl characters good looking and seductive in a virtual world. They are usually skinny, curvacious, women with tight clothes. It's very interesting to think about stereotypes in video games. I've never thought about it before.
