For reference, here is my original post about the Tropes vs Women in Video Games series of videos.
Same as before, I'm just going to embed all of the Tropes vs Women in Video Games videos that have been released since that previous post.
The Scythian - Positive Female Characters in Video Games
(An interesting tidbit: I did some testing on this game when I worked at TT123 [a whole entire day's worth, when one of the ones who was normally assigned to it was out sick], which directly led to me immediately buying it a year or two later, when it finally came out on Steam. That's neither here nor there, but I thought I'd mention it all the same, just 'cuz.)
Jade - Positive Female Characters in Video Games
(Yeah... Beyond Good & Evil was a great game [made back before Ubisoft started going to shit like most of the rest of the AAA game industry]. And yeah, I really hope the sequel sees the light of day sometime in the next century or so... [and isn't infested with typical modern Ubisoft bullshit like most of the rest of their games lately])
Women as Reward
Women as Reward - Special DLC Mini-Episode
Strategic Butt Coverings
Body Language & The Male Gaze
To repeat what I said in the previous post, regardless of whether or not you actually agree with the content of the above videos, just keep in mind that this is the kind of thing that Irredeemably Toxic Shithole (aka GamerGate) wants to prevent you from seeing. This is what is "corrupting" video games and video game journalism, according to them. This is what they're trying to silence and do away with, through threats of violence, rape, death, and invasion of privacy against the creator of these videos and those like her. (But, actually, it's about ethics in video game journalism.)
As for me, Ms. Sarkeesian didn't say anything that caused me to vehemently shake my head in disagreement, nor did she say anything that caused me to widen my eyes in shock, either. None of this is new to me. Like I also said in the previous post: shit's terrible.
She's not wrong, regardless of whatever Irredeemably Toxic Shithole may try to claim to the contrary.
