Tropes Vs Women 2 - Damsels In Distress Part Two : Circular Arguments Strike Back

I liked this video better, but I feel that she skates around the issue with extremely excessive violence in video games in general. I know she touched on it, but she drew a different conclusion than I did. The fact is that many video games were not created with any intention of telling an intricate story, with most of the intention being focused instead on providing the player with a gameplay experience that primarily focuses on inflicting tons of violence upon their enemies. I mean, off the top of my head I can name five games that came out this year that are just 10-15 hour long rampages when you try to apply any real life context to them. Video games are mostly marketed towards men and there may well be an oversaturation of the damsel in distress trope and violence towards women, but I feel that that any issue with sexism or misogyny is overstated and the phenomenon is largely a product of what games currently are.

That said I bought Dear Esther with the Humble Bundle and I do look forward to playing it.
