Abstract
This article examines developments in relation to video games that promote sexual violence. It uses the example of a recent controversial video game ‘Rape Day’ that caused international outrage. Empirical evidence suggests that players who engage with sexual violence content in video games may experience a range of negative effects including desensitization, lower empathy towards victims/survivors and a propensity for violent behaviour. This review concludes that concerns mentioned in the literature highlight the need for further study of this new social reality.
Keywords: Objectification; Rape myth acceptance; Violent video games; Sexual assault; Sexual violence
