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.

Yeah. I didn't get the vibe that she was either, but it's standard part and parcel of dismissing women as "ranting shrill bitches" so as to devalue what they have to say.

I swear, it's like the theory and practice of SJ 101 when privileged men start yammering on about any nonprivileged member of society making valid complaints.
