Kickstarter Project vs Gamers, or: Why don't you think about the MEN?!
Tropes vs Women in Video Games is a project by a single woman to look at and analyze several tropes and stereotypes in gaming that concerns female characters. Sounds like a reasonable project, right?

Apparently, the internet doesn't seem to agree.

This goes as well as you think.

Major trigger warnings for each link. Don't wade through comments, as usual.

So many of them just don't GET IT.

Like, that one dude who was all like "well you can't mock a demographic like this?" (and then 2 seconds later was all like BUT NO NO NO I DON'T EXCUSE THE BAD SHIT AT ALL)

Mock?

MOCK?!?!?!

What in the actual fuck?

This deluded asshat thinks exploring cultural tropes in video games as they relate to sexism is mockery?

Jesus.
