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.

The thing that always amazes me about the "what about the menz" MRA types is that they don't even realize how reactionary they are. They never try to prove their point independently of whatever women do; they're always just reacting to women who try to make a point about social power imbalances.

If these MRA-types could see themselves, they'd realize how ridiculous and petty they really are.

...OMG, I think I wrote a paper along those lines in college. Except stretched out to 7 pages with jargon.
