That's not the issue. Women have fundamentally different experiences in society -- unless everyone around you was convinced you were a woman from the age of 4-25, you probably can NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE. That's basic goddamn reasoning. Whether not knowing what that experience was like is significant or not is up for…
A couple of points I'd like to address: First of all, there is a ton of research being done on females and video games. If you've got access to scientific magazines, you can find dozens of studies in minutes. This, in combination with the Tropes vs. women project, raises a problem, namely that Sarkeesian's work up to this…
Wow, that derailing for dummies page is rad. Biting but educational. I think EVERYONE is guilty of doing at least one of those sometimes. Thanks for sharing!

I wasn't going to watch all of them, but after watching the first one I watched the rest. Many of the examples she cited I have had nagging problems with in the past when I observed them, but didn't know how to lump those problems into something substantial like these 'trope names.' Thanks for sharing.
it is look like they treat those female character as "generic average guy". I love mirrors edge but the character has weak selling point. I see game like final fantasy XIII , tomb raider , lollipop chainsaw has "strong" female characters either supposed to be sexy or quite feminine . "there are some exception that average…
@Joseph Maybe she wants discussion on her site, she might share your opinion that Youtube isn't a great platform for discussion. Nope, comments on there are moderator approved, and in the three days since the video went up nothing has been approved. Of the two places you'd most likely go to talk about the videos, you…
