Tropes vs. Women in Video Games

Yeah well there is no specialized place for this topic so i’ll post this here!

Tropes vs. Women in Video Games by Anita Sarkeesian — Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games)

A young woman discusses the tropes and cliches of women in video games. Oh and by the way she’s also asking for funding.

I think she has some good points. But for me i got over the whole feminist vs. tropes thing long ago. But here’s your chance to discuss this.

Yeah, we totally don’t have a specialized section for topics about video games.

Instantly Interested.

If her video is this and she’s asking for funding…

What are all you losers doing in my General Gaming?

There should be a game where you play a bear that punches feminists. And the big spoiler is the bear is a she-grizzly!

LOL!! But apparently no one cares about what this woman has to say. Kind of like i really don’t care either.

if a playable woman is not scantitly dressed in a way that shes showing her navel and legs (at least as an unlockable costume) where she is faced with monsters that can beat the living shit out of her or suggestive attacks where i can be sexually aroused, i wont bother.

…. i think i just confessed i am sexually aroused by ryona.

you did not read that

Somehow, Sarah Palin comes to mind.

Wouldn’t this have made more sense to stay in GD since it’s really about the kickstarter project and not specifically about video games?

Anyway it’s obviously retarded that people are giving her this much money to make youtube videos, but the internet is making it a bigger deal than it is.

Wow, some of these responses are a bit disappointing. ouo;

I love her videos, and I’m glad that there’s someone calling issues out while being calm and eloquent. (And she actually enjoys her media, which is why she discusses it.)

I wanted to donate a little myself, but I didn’t get the chance. =3=
