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.

she deserves to buy herself something pretty
or, perhaps more realisitically, deserves to pay off some debts she's probably accrued because society tells her she needs to look and behave a certain way (not to mention if she's a college graduate, she might have astronomical school debts to worry about) even if she can't financially sustain it because she has the gall to have a vagina and expects to be treated equally amongst the penis-owning workforce, and god knows these vigilante woman-haters wouldn't think twice about stooping so low as to find out where she works and somehow get her fired too....
