Largest study of video games reveals malecharacters say twice as much as femalecharacters RSocPublishing
It discovered that games include twice as much male dialogue as female dialogue on average. Of the games studied, 94% had more male dialogue than female dialogue, including games with multiple female protagonists like Final Fantasy X-2 or King's Quest VII.
Dr. Rennick, Research Associate in Philosophy, School of Humanities at the University of Glasgow, said,"While we expected to find a larger proportion of male dialogue overall, we were surprised to discover how few games—just three of 50—had more than 50% female dialogue. Players seem to share our surprise: when surveyed, they anticipated the general pattern of more male dialogue, but overestimated the number of games where women spoke the majority of the time.
