I'd seen most of her Tropes gaming videos, of course, and, frankly, not had much issue with them. Much of what she showed in them—the propensity for games to depict a disappointingly narrow range of female characters, of often using women in games as props to motivate players, of regularly sexualizing female…

Actually, they do. Wow, Everquest, Guildwars 1/2, etc all had examples where the female armor was, strangely, far more lacking then the guys version of the same item.

No one said you can't be sexy and still strong. It's just, well, the default for 'sexy' seems to be 'bikinis, lots of skin, huge tits' etc. Toss in plenty of ass shots and ample jiggle.

Of all of Sarkeesian's requests, I could see this being viewed as the most well-intentioned but creatively stifling one—Why not sometimes have a sexy female enemy? Why not sometimes let a character of any type be helpless or play up their gender?—and yet it also seemed to be the one where she was trying hardest to…

The US military is about 10% female. If you want realism in a game set in the US military than you can show 10% of the support staff to be female. And they do get deployed.

Its all the same to you, because you're an idiot. Lets remember straight men are making these. Making themselves out to be muscular, cool men, and women their skimpily dressed, size-0, DD, whores is completely messed up. Men get a good 'fantasy' and women are just whores. Assuming you're a straight guy, you would…

I think te point is there's no necessity in making the character sexy ALWAYS either, no that characters can never be sexy.

This ol' argument? Men are show in media to be strong, a positive value that relates often to the plot, their abilities, and thus are shown as large muscles. it's not sexualized, just shown. Trust me musclular men for strength in mainstream media look and pose a lot different then muscular men in a sexual way ( i.e.…

The point is that the audience IS changing.

No, it's more a call to not animate people like they're sashaying along model's runway or about to seduce someone in bad porn, and have them move like an actual woman would. Lord knows I get annoyed with some game's male walking animations, I can't imagine how annoying it would be if I was a woman and had to spend my…

And, second, it seemed to me she was being careful to clarify whether she loves games. In a vacuum, this might seem strange, but the idea that Sarkeesian doesn't care much about games has been part of the narrative against her. There's a pre-Tropes vs. Women in Video Games clip, after all, of her introducing a video…

Have you ever played GTA?? Those games have more content and writing than the majority of games on the market, save for RPG's.

I really would like if that big ass armored character in Overwatch was a lady. More characters like this please.

The list (according to technical.ly).

Haters always hate on the English degree. Somehow, like you, I've been gainfully employed (at fancy pants companies even!) since I graduated. People like to pretend like an English major is useless, but I'm doing better than most people in my age group, and have yet to notice the uselessness.

This! I understand how frustrated people are by their inability to find jobs in their "field", but I'm also bored with having my English BA declared "worthless" and reading about how MBAs are the hot thing. Really? Because the 2 receptionists at my work both have MBAs while I'm doing quite well in my career with my…

My English degree has gotten me so much farther than a BBA would have. For the record, I had a job when I graduated college, spent only 3 weeks unemployed after being laid off, and was hired after only 1 interview for my current job.

I'm the first in my family go have gone to college. I don't care if I have to end up working a crappy job (which thankfully shouldn't have to happen)... the amount of the world that was opened up to me by attending college, the different viewpoints I was exposed to, the experiences I had, all of that will have made it…
