This Virtual Human Interaction Video: EXPOSURE TO SEXUALIZED AVATARS CHANGES ATTITUDES TOWARDS WOMEN explored implications to attitudes and real world behaviors.  This study found that when people were exposed to sexualized female avatars they were more likely to blame the victim in rape cases.  What does this tell us as game and/or simulation developers?
