Sexual violence in video games is not only offensive but also fails at being an effective medium of shock horror. These games, while created to be extremely intense and “edgy,” ultimately fail at being true horror games, instead ineffectively using sexual assault in the place of classic horror tropes. Including sexual assault in a video game creates an unethical simulation and destroys the fantasy of escaping to another world. Extreme violence in video games is heavily criticized, and several studies have been conducted to examine its effects. Sexual violence in video games, however, is an under-publicized issue, and long-term consequences are not yet known.
