Are these things that Anita cited in her videos? That was what I was asking about, I was criticizing her for not citing her sources very well.

EDIT: Wait, I have to pay to read these? Well I'm not dropping 8 bucks to read a scientific journal but...I mean, surely these aren't what Anita was sourcing either?

You can google the exact opposite and in over 60 years of study there is no scientific consensus on whether sexual objectification leads to real life consequences. Remember there have been studies that some particles can move faster than light, yet Relativity wasn't disproved.

Are all the studies you posted pure garbage like the first one? Because the meat I got out of it is that men who played Leisure Suit Larry for a certain amount of time can magically unscramble dirty words faster in the junior jumble and boom that's proof of a problem. That's some good academic work right there, your tax dollars spent well.

excuse me but did you actually even read any of the poo poo you linked? you probably didn't since they are most behind paywalls, but you're quoting poo poo that speaks of things like "Likelihood to Sexually Harass (LSH) scale". one study quotes a sample of "Male and female participants (N = 301) who were players of networked video games were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey" which is a pitifully small sample for an anonymous survey, which already has certain errors and biases due to its anonymous nature.

you also posted two links to basically the same study which speaks of the Proteus effect, which are about self-representation, and don't even talk about male attitudes. but anyway, the only study you posted that I can actually read bases its loving hypothesis on how fast people can say sexual words after playing games like Leisure Suit Larry. you tell me how objective that poo poo is.

you can't just quote studies to prove your point lol you gotta read them.

See, now, I gave you the benefit of the doubt, your findings were proven to be somewhat weak and you are unwilling or unable to actually point out where Anita cited any of these studies, which we can't read in detail due to a paywall, but whose findings seem to be, as stated above, "Playing a game about sex makes you think about sex". None of these seem to suggest that there's an inherent link between violence against women and violence in video games.

You notice that I wrote a really long post about how people can't have a dialog, because they keep talking at each other rather than with each other? You are being disgenuous and dishonest, and I don't think my post nor my position warranted that.

Paying money to get behind a paywall doesn't make you an expert and those studies done on video games are poo poo. Being able to unscramble a dirty word faster after playing Leisure Suit Larry isn't indicative of a goddamn thing except people conducting a study with an agenda already in mind.

Nice studies do you have studies about what in the media makes someone such a psychopath they'd cheat on a partner with five other people? That's a pretty serious traumatic torture to inflict on someone psychologically.

yes if you're gonna do an "anonymous online survey" and link to that in your study you need a way larger sample than 300 people. 300 people is loving nothing, specially considering that in anonymous online surveys one person can submit 10 surveys as their own and you can never know.

Oh, okay, just have read the one on Proteus effect. It was better than the one about blokes reacting to filthy words. I've learned that there's a thing called Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (go test yourself, shitlords, http://www.hhs.gov/ash/oah/oah-initiatives/paf/508-assets/conf-2011-herman-irma.pdf No, seriously, that's fascinating stuff).
What I don't get, though, in this experiment they only tested people with RMAS after their experiences with avatars. They didn't divide their sample groups by any parameters other than race, too. So how could they establish that it's the avatar what affected those women's self-perception? There's also this paragraph that I find baffling.

quote:

Quinn et al. (2006)previously found that women who tried on a swimsuit reported more body-related thoughts afterwards than women who had tried on a sweater. Similarly, women in this study who ‘‘tried on’’ a sexualized avatar reported more body-related thoughts than women who ‘‘tried on’’ a nonsexualized avatar. These findings indicate that wearing sexualized avatars in virtual environments and video games may lead to a similar experience of self-objectification as women wearing revealing clothing in the physical world. Following the Proteus effect, the results indicate that women who wear sexualized avatars may internalize the features of their avatars and start perceiving themselves in a sexually objectified manner
So, does it mean that conservative nuts were right all along and women who wear sexy clothes dehumanise and disgrace themselves?

Note: just an hour ago I was been playing a game as some sort of a mermaid (that I don't think I find very attractive), so my judgment may be hazed by horrors of video games.
