This is actually from 2022, but I missed it back in the day. This is quite important research imo, and very relevant lately. Link to the paper itself: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563222001637

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted because setting unrealistic body standards is absolutely terrible for society

    Who said that was a requirement? It's still a fact that it causes harm

    Me arguing something can be harmful for society doesn't mean I'm arguing it has to be abolished in its entirety. I'm not sure why you think everything has to be black and white since obviously there's room for artistic use- remember you are the only one who thought that, or perhaps it just wasn't obvious for you. And can you explain how unrealistic body standards is not bad for society? It isn't far fetched seeing young people compare to beauty standards they are bombarded with. It doesn't only happen in video games but in tons of visual media.

  • You are reading waay to much into that title, man. Their claim is it doesn't make people more misogynistic. There are still tons of reasons to care about how media conducts itself.

    Or do you imagine it's just a neutral thing that the whites-only crowd would make it impossible to be a black actor again?
