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.

I think she was planning to use the money to buy a wide variety of games and gaming systems to ensure she had looked at a broad group before doing the videos, so in yet another irony she started a Kickstarter to ensure she was being more "fair" and now is getting attacked for wanting the money to try and cover more ground. Oy.

(Irony must be about to be hospitalized for exhaustion after this past week)
