Who said that was a requirement? It’s still a fact that it causes harm

You can’t declare something as a fact just because you want it to be one.
It’s embedded into your argument. If you do not consider it a requirement, then your discussion is irrelevant.

Me arguing something can be harmful for society doesn’t mean I’m arguing it has to be abolished in its entirety. I’m not sure why you think everything has to be black and white since obviously there’s room for artistic use- remember you are the only one who thought that, or perhaps it just wasn’t obvious for you. And can you explain how unrealistic body standards is not bad for society? It isn’t far fetched seeing young people compare to beauty standards they are bombarded with. It doesn’t only happen in video games but in tons of visual media.

You’re replying on a thread specifically citing a paper on how videogame sexualization was found to bring no harm to society. Either provide evidence otherwise, or settle down with the unfounded repeated claims.
