Sounds like you are the one who hasn't watched her videos. She blatantly misrepresents games, cherry picks to the nth degree and I would say that she lies at times. Take her discussion of Hitman for instance: What she says - In Hitman, you as the player are encouraged to murder innocent females and get perverse pleasure out of watching the ragdoll physics as you move their body around. This is proof that the game encourages the sexual repression of women and encourages violence against women What actually happens - In 2/7ths of 1/20 missions, you have the capability to kill innocent females, as you would be able to do with any innocent male character in the game. In no way does the game encourage players to kill or even interact with these women, and in fact, it actively discourages this behaviour by inflicting rather strict point penalties if you were to kill them. The goal of the level in question is to sneak by them without being noticed, and it is even possible to go a completely different route and never encounter this situation in the first place. Additionally, it is worth noting that there is virtually no reputable evidence that proves that actions in video games are tied to actions in real life. This was a large debate a few years back (the whole "video game violence causes real world violence") and the overall conclusion by the scientific community is that these accusation hold little to no water. |
So she said that about hitman? Ugh. If I remember correctly, none of the targets are female and you can kill any npc you come across.
