- If you are a gamer, have you noticed how Arab and Muslims are represented?
- Do you think that these kind of images are problematic?
- Do you think that negative images in video games can contribute to negative sentiments towards a group of people?
- Do you know of any examples of games that seek to break down stereotypes?
I have had a discussion about violence with the young people I work with and one of the topics was video games, and how the U.S. military utilizes such games to facilitate the process of desensitization in young people. Having the Arab piece in there, unfortunately, makes sense with that perspective in mind.
