Do not waste your time, extremists (of any kind) are irrational. No use in trying to 'understand' from where are they coming (with their points), no use in trying to understand what they mean, no use in paying attention to them.



I watched these a while ago. If I recall correctly, she made a few decent points, but she seemed to seriously reaching at points. She seemed to have already made up her mind, and so manipulated the "evidence" to support her case, regardless of how flimsy it was.



Her best point is that the Damsel in Distress trope is overused. Then she loses me when she essentially claims that no possible alteration or subversion of the trope could justify its use in any game (and by extension, any story ever). Case in point: she used Ico as an example to back her up.

Poorly done work. She is not open to criticism and uses the misogyny tag for anyone smart enough to rebuttle her arguments. I give her credit for scoring so many free games and thousands of dollars from her internet saviours. I think she also went to my University but that is unrelated. 

 

Party Hardy!
