[IMG]http://www.theeca.com/newsletters/Grind_House-figure.jpg[/IMG]Earlier this week [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/03/03/more-games-contributing-sexualization-girls]we detailed a review paper[/URL] penned by Dr. Linda Papadopoulos, which explored the Sexualization of Young People.

Who better to further explore the topic than a female gamer [URL=http://www.gameculture.com/2010/03/03/aliens-vs-predator-it-really-violent]that revels in violent games[/URL]? Julie from our sister site GameCulture offers [URL=http://www.gameculture.com/2010/03/04/violence-video-games-and-impact-females]her take on the subject here[/URL], go check it out.

Here's a little taste:

[INDENT]A lot of the findings in the report deal specifically with younger people and teenagers. I'm not a parent so I can't comment on what I would or wouldn't do in that situation. And perhaps I've become desensitized to the level of violence depicted in video games. In fact I enjoy games with alot of action, guns, and yes, even violence. Is it wrong that I find games with guns enjoyable to play? I like shooting at other players and killing them but I'm not about to go and grab a gun and shoot someone.
