I always felt like she was kind of shooting fish in a barrel. It used to be really rare for games to have nuanced, good writing and it's still kinda rare. It wasn't that long ago that any depiction of a woman in a game required enormous cleavage and the ability to perv on her. Metal Gear Solid games have modes where you can make a woman do risque poses and take photos of her. There's a Hitman game where you fight against sexy nuns in bondage gear.
That stuff still exists but I think there are a lot broader depictions of women now. We're living in a simultaneous golden age and dark age for games. It's weird. There have never been so many charming, innovative indie games as right now. There are even games with good politics.
So I'd like to think at least Sarkeesian was part of that, helping to let people know games didn't have to be about grunting white man looking at tits and shooting a gun.
no, no, you see she breaths through her skin like a plant. this absolutely is a better explanation than just admitting i was randy while designing the character
Time to get technically correct in this here comments section about a video game but she was in her 20s. she was presented as, by both the character who introduced her, and by her character's design, as being 16 years old. But being a high school student was her cover as an agent of Cipher.
NEVERTHELESS, because the game presents her as being 16 years old -- all that lingerie stuff and the date is weird pedo shit.

How DARE YOU talk shit about MGS when you're absolutely right and the series has a bad track record for treating woman characters.
