Gender In Video Games

According to a study released by the Entertainment Software Association, Adult women occupy the largest demographic in the game industry.
Women over 18 years old make up 36% of the gaming population, followed by adult men at 35%.

Sadly enough, the gaming industry haven't caught up with these numbers,

sexism still runs through the gaming industry, using women as an object rather than a human.

in the last of us ellie are portrayed as an object the player uses to pass through an obstacle.

in super mario, princess peach are portrayed as a damsel in distress in which the player must rescue.
