A study about video games that can apply to comics and other such art

I found a psychology researcher named Chris Ferguson announcing the following study available:
The study reportedly shows there's no correlation between sex in such entertainment and sexist attitudes. While this file in itself requires pay per download, the Canadian TV host Liana Kerzner got an advance copy, and she spoke about it in the following video:
I thought to cite this here because the argument can apply just as easily to comicdom, along with other forms of visual arts, proving that sexiness doesn't produce sexist attitudes, or any other negative form of mindset. But if you haven't seen the MSM talking about it, it should be no surprise. For them, only studies declaring violent entertainment as something that doesn't lead to a bad influence are newsworthy. Which is a shame, of course, because if anything needs to be debated, it's whether violence in showbiz has gone too far. Not sexuality per se.
Our new correlational study examines relationships between playing #sexualized #videogames and #sexism in real life. Results might surprise! Paywall, I'm afraid, but DM for an early copy: https://t.co/jZOv9dvGGy
