Her father was killed and she was ha...No Red Ninja? Her father was killed and she was hanged.I thought that she used Kurenia's image at some point, I can't remember and lack the will to check but if she did then she must be aware of the plot of that game right? I mean would she really just throw on the image just because it's a woman in skimpy clothing (which is actually used to your advantage in game)?<br /><br />I've been rolling the idea around in my head as to why her videos bug me so much. Is it that she conned people out of money like that? No, it wasn't my money although I'm sad that they didn't put it to a better cause. Is it because it's dry? I've sat through worse.<br /><br />As I read around and thought more I realized why it bugged me and perhaps many others. It's not that we don't want a change in the female characters and story writing, hell we'd embrace that, in fact we have been as this has improved slowly over the years. But it's as you said it's so one sided, misinformation spouted as facts, and well you've seen it. <br /><br />She could have interviewed developers, gamers, spoken to people who knows more about the games to keep her from sounding, well like herself. She made these 'educational' videos about the games while excluding the video gaming community in favor of using minimal research via sources like wiki and tvtropes. <br /><br />In fact I will admit that until I read all drama and saw her trailer I thought that the project was brilliant, but now it just looks like she got her fame off the backs of the gaming community. Gaming needs something like the Tropes vs Women but not that and not by her, they deserve better. <br /><br />It scares me that these one-sided videos might actually be used academically. But what bugs me even more is that in the future if any game gives us a well written female lead people will not credit the developers and the writers but instead will credit Anita even if those people never even watched her videos.<br /><br />Sorry for the long post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662528987570847467.post-81611143499167595162014-01-23T17:16:53.756+01:002014-01-23T17:16:53.756+01:00I was not aware of the Rogue Ops game that you men...I was not aware of the Rogue Ops game that you mentioned, but you're right. Actually, the premise sounds more or less identical to Max Payne, except that the villains are different and the protagonist is female instead of male. But both start out with the murder of the protagonist's spouse and daughter. And both seek revenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
