Tropes vs. Women in Video Games
- Here is a Kickstarter by critic Anita Sarkeesian of feministfrequency.com to create a webseries examining tropes for female characters in video games. It is currently well over its funding goal of $6000, with $90 000 donated.
- Here is a Rock Paper Shotgun article dissecting the predictably loathsome response from some male gamers.
- At this point the project clearly doesn’t need money, but I strongly suggest donating if for no other reason than to stick it to these assholes.

"I know what they say about curiosity and the cat, but what they don’t tell you about that same cat is that he was popularly considered a cool cat among cats and boned loads of lady cats before curiosity kicked his ass."
Quentin “Quinns” Smith, a man who is quickly becoming my favourite young games writer.
