Tropes vs. Women in Video Games

I just found this really interesting video in youtube and i was curious to learn more,i encourage you especially if you are a guy to watch this video and share your ideas

This is a look at the way women are portrayed in mass media and the impact they have on our culture and society.

This video project will explore, analyze and deconstruct some of the most common tropes and stereotypes of female characters in games. The series will highlight the larger reoccurring patterns and conventions used within the gaming industry rather than just focusing on the worst offenders.

Looks interesting. She reminds me of Nostalgia Chick, except more serious.

I'll be interested to see these videos. I always felt like KH has also suffered from having stereotypical female characters. I think fans hatred for characters like Kairi is more towards the overused trope they represent than the person themselves. Just sayin.

 

Edit: Man, look at the harassment she has to put up with. This just disgusts me: http://www.feministfrequency.com/2012/06/harassment-misogyny-and-silencing-on-youtube/

I'm looking forward to see if Lightning makes an appearance.
