Re: Tropes in Videogames
This, forever And for the record: Anyone can offer criticism of the videogame industry, but simply whining or pointing out obvious faults get's nothing done. The end user is probably not going to think "Huh this game seems kind of off, I'm going to see if I can find some educational videos on videogame tropes in regards to… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Youre correct, thats not what implying at all. I don't think anyone in this entire thread, actually has any legs to stand on against the argument that there should be more varied roles for females in videogames- I think everyone agrees about that!! If they didnt in the beginning, they probably do now. Fantastic -… -
Tropes in Videogames
Just discovered this youtube channel and it's pretty amazing. I love how well she breaks down these principles without being reactionary or taking them too far. I think every single videogame designer and producer and concept artist needs to be forced to watch these on repeat till we get more diversity in game characters… -

Tangent: I feel really sad reading this dude. Any artist out there who feels this kind of pressure and decides to start thinking about changing what they are making or change what they enjoy making, because of it: STOP IT.

Every time I see this thread, I get excited thinking it is actually about tropes in videogames. Instead, it's just about tropes that can be associated with sexism, or the life of this specific youtuber. Meh. -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
While it is true that she saves Mario in that game therefore not making her a damsel in distress. I don't really think a game about Peach having super power mood swings is really the best portrayal of females in videogames either... -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Comparing the cost needed between making a videogame and filming yourself ranting with some sony vegas/ Premiere effects is ridiculous, not to mention comparing what more funds can add to game vs an online web series based around discussion. -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
If a woman decides not to post her thoughts about womens issues in videogames because she doesn't want to deal with abusive backlash of the community, is that an indicator that there are holes in her logic? Censoring yourself because of outside pressure has nothing to do with insecurity over your beliefs.
