Abstract

ABSTRACT Sexism in video games is present in pop culture. Female video game characters are sexualized, objectified, and made to seem less important as opposed to their male counterparts (Burgess, Stermer, & Burgess, 2007; Dill, Brown, & Collins, 2008; Dill & Thill, 2007; Martins, Williams, Harrison, & Ratan, 2009; Scharrer, 2004). We propose that marriage and family therapists use feminist family therapy to address video games’ sexist content as it relates to sexism within relationships, specifically through feminist family therapy principles of egalitarian relationships, power, women’s strengths, acceptance, and validation. Furthermore, we promote the multidisciplinary collaboration with marriage and family therapists and video game developers, industry professionals, and the gaming community to improve gender equality and reduce sexism within video games.

利用女权主义家庭疗法和多学科合作来解决游戏玩家中的性别歧视问题

摘要电子游戏中的性别歧视存在于流行文化中。女性电子游戏角色被性化、物化，与男性角色相比显得不那么重要（Burgess，Stermer，&Burgess）（2007年；迪尔、布朗和柯林斯，2008年；迪尔和蒂尔，2007年；马丁斯、威廉姆斯、哈里森和拉坦，2009年；沙尔，2004年）。我们建议婚姻和家庭治疗师使用女权主义家庭疗法来解决电子游戏中与关系中的性别歧视有关的性别歧视内容，特别是通过平等关系、权力、女性优势、接受和认可的女权主义家庭治疗原则。此外，我们促进与婚姻和家庭治疗师、视频游戏开发商、行业专业人士和游戏社区的多学科合作，以改善性别平等，减少视频游戏中的性别歧视。
