Violência simbólica de gênero nos jogos digitais: proposta de solução para registro de casos de assédio

Abstract

The symbolic violence of gender is present in the gamer community through sexist discourses, prejudices and negative stereotypes towards women. However, despite being offended, many players do not report such aggressions. In order to contribute to the remedy of the absence of complaints during games of online digital games, this work aims to present GGReport, a web application integrated with a desktop application, which allows, with ease and speed, the registration of cases of this violence. The methodology was based on the accomplishment of a netnographic research, whose purpose was to interact and observe the behavior of the members of this community, in the accomplishment of a focal group that revealed perceptions of players in relation to the theme, in the survey of requirements and technologies that were used in application development.
