Wouldn't that be a virtually useless piece of information? I think the question "do video games make people sexist" is infinitely more useful of a questions (although I think the answer is extremely clear).

Not necessarily. A survey that disproves the theory that video games cause sexist attitudes might give the impression that there isn't a problem with sexism in the video game community, when there is plainly a problem.


I'm not going to get into a huge debate here, but I think that there is a general problem with anonymity on the internet which is where most of the "sexism" comes from. I think the hubub around sexism within games themselves and within many communities has been overblown and what problems we do have, don't really need to be remedied through academia.
