Right, I may have misinterpreted "videogames" to mean "videogames in general" as opposed to "these specific video games".
Or, here is an alternative "Against" videogames. As in raised criticisms against videogames. It doesn't mean she is "Against" videogames. In the same way I can lean AGAINST a wall.
There is a genuine argument you could make, however, that Anita is anti-majority of videogames by actually listening to her video (I think it is more bad dialog)... yet that isn't what the person was referring to.
I do hold, having read her thesis and watched or at least read the transcripts for all her videos that she's made that it's not correct when some people say that she "doesn't want to take any of your games away" she just wants more female protagonist games. Personally, I think that's also a projection and not entirely true.
I won't lie after watching enough her disclaimer that she is just criticizing games and is not detracting from their worth and that they are still good games when all is said and done, starts to feel rather two faced. Though as I said it is likely just bad dialog.
Mostly because it is pretty much impossible to say "But it is still good" if you listen to everything she says and agree with it.
Since just take Super Mario for example... Taking what is said about it: It is a game where Princess Peach is reduced to a simple object making the game constructed on the broken beaten body of women everywhere. You should be ASHAMED to play It! Ohh... uhhh... but it is still totally a good game.
I have disregarded this drunken-college-sex-party thing as a silly stereotype you see in some movies
It is a silly stereotype but at the same time it isn't. It isn't done by a "typical" group of people at college.
she just wants more female protagonist games
I don't remember her ever really saying that. Even then she does have a good idea of how a female protagonist should act. (I should state her damsel example wasn't made by her)
I just don't get the idea that certain personality traits are masculine and others are feminine. I mean, there has to be guys who like playing games where you don't really fight anyone and girls who like playing shooters. Saying that something is inherently gendered is not the path to equality. There are certain things we can't change about the differences between genders (Hey, that's just testosterone and estrogen for you) but we don't need to reflect that in our culture if we don't want to.
I agree, as time goes on these traits are less and less important. The term "Tomboy" is something I think is flat out, outdated.
Also the point is that the genders do not act the same but we cannot hold either gender to that and we do not know what differences are real and what is created.
