Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

    Why?

    Edit: Thanks for the downvotes. I guess people don’t like open-ended questions around here.

      People in media are often displayed filling strongly defined roles based on their outward appearance and such, this reinforces biases and forms certain expectations, thus it’s good to provide examples that show people in different roles.

      E.g.:

      gay men are often presented as flamboyant, always horny party people, but seldom as successful, serious business guys or as a caring partner for their loved one.

      Or the classical trope of the damsel in distress, where the womans purpose is to be in danger so she can be rescued by a strong heroic male.

      Or Men in general who are seldom portrait as emotional complex people.

        And dads are always stupid and not as smart as the clever mum, who knows how to use a washing machine. Or, so every ad seems to reinforce.
