Lucky us! A new Humble Indie Bundle and a new Tropes Vs Women Video, all in the one day!

Only just started watching it, but so far I have enjoyed it.

Understandably, not everyones' cup o tea...

This video is full of the "ever-complaining woman" trope.

Damsals in Distress.......really Anita, that issue and debate has been done to death so many times its a dead horse topic since the beginning of feminist critique :(

Interesting tidbit, her video got removed shortly after it was uploaded (maybe because of Nintendo's Content ID thing, or people flagging her videos, can't really say since I didn't really see anything indicating what it exactly was). It's back up now.

Also, be warned that this video does contain spoilers to games:

Every time I see Anita's mug I think of that Kids in the Hall short, with Dave Foley as that old gullible businessman buying his prostitute wife (played by Scott Thompson) a pair of earrings for their anniversary.

"Golden earrings. The big HOOP kind you're so fond of!"

Just finished watching the video. Really enjoyed it. The way she presented some things were a little boring/monotonous, but overall found it interesting.

I was a little disappointed by the fact that I didn't see any warnings given about the spoilers...

I think the only games I have played that she mentioned were Duke Nukem 3D and Ghouls and Ghosts... I didn't realise so many console games repeated the same old story, I guess that is to be expected given how many games are out there.

I did like that she mentioned a few games that she thought dealt with death in a better way - To The Moon, for example.

I am looking forward to the next episode - Monkey Island!! Surely she will appreciate the reversal of the damsel in distress trope in that series...

No its just my opinion that the Damsals in Distress trope has been debated to death imo.

Also Personally I like to see her what she thinks about Brony Fandom.

ergh, really not a fan of her or her videos.

Though I'll admit that her video games videos so far seem "safer" than her regular ones. But quite honestly, I cannot take her seriously, she reminds of the sort of scholars that just a few days ago called the Doctor Who show "Racist" and promote "contempt" for less advanced species.

it all just seems like they're just way too sensitive for me and really do not deserve the attention.

This isn't to say there isn't sexism in gaming or the world in general, it's just Anita Sarkeesian seems to also look for sexism where it doesn't exist (Dean Martin's "christmas" is a rape song? Seriously?)

I reacted the sameway when I saw the part with Gears of War 2 about Maria, I still find that mercy killing more effective than the others that she showed me and there was a scene were after that Dom choses he does not want revenge and say he rather just finish his mission.

I intensely dislike Anita's videos.

But you're not doing men any favours either with replies like those
