Answer 1

The scenario you've described best aligns with **cognitive bias**. In this context, cognitive bias refers to the mental shortcuts or predispositions in the way someone thinks based on their experiences, which can affect their decision-making and creativity. Growing up with male role models and in an all-male environment could influence the portrayal of characters in the video games being developed, potentially reflecting a non-diverse perspective.

While subtle bias could also be a contender, cognitive bias is broader and more aligned with how one's background and experiences shape their views and decisions.
