My friends and I were...I am so happy I found this. My friends and I were digging around on DeviantArt last night, and we discovered your art as well as your podcast.<br /><br />So, I figured that any gaming podcast was going to have a Sarkeesian episode, and I made a b-line for it. And I have to say that I agree with a lot of what you say.<br /><br />Anita Sarkeesian's analysis is incomprehensible, and the only one who understands it is Anita Sarkeesian. The irony of her series is that she clearly pulled the vast majority of her "research" from TV Tropes and failed to note that TV Tropes itself is a social experiment that reveals how futile it is for even the best content creator to avoid tropes. Almost anything you write is derivative of some common experience and will therefore be subject to being called a trope. I find it ridiculous that people even spend their time researching tropes for any reason other than personal amusement. For Anita to not even be aware of this is akin to not seeing the forest for the trees.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it's far too simple to even attribute Anita's misinformation to naiveté alone. She references the "Women In Refrigerators" trope but fails to mention that the so many counter-examples were found of the trope applying to males that the page was renamed to "Stuffed Into The Fridge". Anita no doubt saw this but chose to go with the archaic version anyway.<br /><br />And I mean no disrespect to Gail Simone, the originator of the trope, but being a talented and respected figure in the comic industry does not make one immune to being wrong.<br /><br />But that's not to say that the fridge trope doesn't still have merit. After all, it's still a male-centric trope with very few examples of tragedy from a female's perspective. But this revised perspective doesn't fit into Anita's stilted view of misogyny in gaming, so she doesn't even consider it.<br /><br />And that brings me to my biggest problem with Anita is that she trumps up charges of misogyny when it's not even there most of the time. A lot of the examples she brings up can be attributed to certain cultural biases and assumptions of gender that have no malice to them whatsoever. And some content creators aren't even aware of them until you point it out to them and are perfectly willing to be more conscious of their portrayal of female characters if these things are addressed in a level-headed manner.<br /><br />Contrasting Sarkeesian to Simone, Simone at least takes a more neutral stance on her criticisms of the industry, and she takes the time to respond to her critics. She invites discussion and isn't alienating anyone. Sarkeesian, on the other hand, builds up an impenetrable wall so that she never has to deal with criticism, and the community that rallies around her is nothing short of hostile.<br /><br />Sarkeesian doesn't care about any of this. It's perfectly obvious to me that she has no academic cred whatsoever and did this purely to advance her status and make her money.TV's Mr. Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134940916393648860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356896470385028525.post-34060958071239047692013-07-09T21:40:37.833-07:002013-07-09T21:40:37.833-07:00I haven't played the last of us yet it has a l...I haven't played the last of us yet it has a lot of good review on that game hope i could get em by the way your podcast is good hope you can submit them here on <a href="http://www.ipodder.org/" rel="nofollow">Podcast Directory</a> thanksArchaznablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435608748614010612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356896470385028525.post-10297131114667287802012-10-02T08:20:14.228-07:002012-10-02T08:20:14.228-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Tbilisi Hotelshttp://hotel-mkudro.genoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356896470385028525.post-9638166785169432332012-06-17T16:26:54.705-07:002012-06-17T16:26:54.705-07:00While it's very cool that Bungie invited her t...While it's very cool that Bungie invited her to talk to them, one example doesn't instantly make someone legit and well-respected in the entire industry, though to be fair that's not a bad start.<br /><br />As I said in the podcast, the thing that makes me very apprehensive about this documentary series is that it sounds like all it will do is summarize and regurgitate female videogame tropes in a way that brings nothing new to the table. Most people are already aware of these stereotypes, and there needs to be a more constructive and critical angle taken to analyzing these tropes and their effects.<br /><br />Something that was a warning sign to me was how she would be adding a section focusing on positive female characters only AFTER her donations went beyond $15k. This should have been something that was included by DEFAULT and adds more support to my belief that she isn't/wasn't planning for a lot of substance with this thing.<br /><br />Let me emphasize again that I think a documentary of this subject has a lot of potential, but I don't want to see it squandered on a series that someone could just easily make on youtube with a bunch of googled / wiki quotes in there to try and look half-legitimate. Time will tell, but I don't have a lot of optimism for her project in its current state... but I would be happy to be proven wrong.Ejinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356896470385028525.post-61070072918176902472012-06-15T20:23:30.166-07:002012-06-15T20:23:30.166-07:00I have to say, the woman you're discussing, An...I have to say, the woman you're discussing, Anita Sarkeesian, was invited by Bungie to discuss female representation in gaming with their staff.
