More than a Damsel in a Dress: A Response

Anita Sarkeesian started a kickstarter in may of 2012 (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games) in which she requested 6,000$ in order to research and make videos about negative stereotypes of women in video games.



She received roughly 160,000$ from kickstarter and produced the video above with over a million views. Due to negative feedback and a toxic comment section both have been removed from the video and a slew of "response" videos have been popping up that are less... toxic and in my opinion more constructive.

This is one of those videos well worth the 10 minute watch and gives some food for thought about characters I had never really "thought too much about".
