One of the primary sources I am using outlines a study done on the effects of the sexualization of female video game characters on gender-stereo types as well as female self- image in young adults. The results of the study CATIOUTSLY suggest that the image of women was warped after playing a game with an overly sexualized female character. Another article I am using is a secondary source that outlines the idea of the ‘damsel in distress’ and its effect on the percieved view of women.
