The awesome (mostly analog) gaming blog Gaming as Women interviewed me about Tropes vs Women in Video Games and Feminist Frequency.

For this project, my goal is to talk about sexism in video games in a way that looks at gaming as an institution and focuses on the recurring patterns that we see over and over again in women’s representations. My goal is to illustrate that this is actually a deeply systemic problem and not just an issue with a handful of games or a handful of developers. Part of the project is also to provide some counter examples and highlight the games that have done it right in creating inspirational or positive female characters. All of my work comes from a fan perspective which means that I try to impress on people that it’s okay and even important to simultaneously enjoy a piece of media while also being critical of some aspects of it.
