Misogyny in Video Games

So, I watched this video in class called "Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games" starring the infamous (?) Anita Sarkeesian. It discusses sexism towards women in video games and how practically every game out there seems to follow the trope of a man saving a damsel in distress. I suppose that it is fairly common, but not necessarily in every game. Personally, I think she's blowing it up into a bigger issue. I'm sure there's some game out there where there's a girl who saves a guy in distress. She focuses on Princess Peach a lot in the video, and even provides the viewers with outdated information because she says that Princess Peach is only playable in one game (and accidentally), but I'll have you know that Princess Peach is a playable character is Super Mario World 3d. So. Take that, A n i t a .

Okay I get that the video is kind of old but still. Peach ain't really helpless. I mean, in earlier games yeah, but not anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for how this misogyny/anti-women/idk in games affects society, I guess it does have a pretty big impact (sort of) because it portrays women as weak and helpless, which isn't always the case but idk if a dumb little boy is playing Mario and thinks that because Princess Peach got kidnapped, only girls get kidnapped or something stupid like that, that's a negative impact because it ain't true lololol I'm not really sure if kids even think like that nowadays but idk it seems like something a little boy might think because kids are dumb. For the most part anyway, lololol

I don't really think that the video is important. I didn't really learn anything from it because everyone knows about the damsel in distress trope and I personally don't really care about it because I don't think that it's a very big deal. It's just a trope for media and all that, it's not like its's some government conspiracy to eliminate women across the globe or something y'know. And I'm a girl too so if Anita wants to come at me and roast me for "being ignorant of what video games are doing to us women!!!!!" or accuse me of being a "fake woman" or accuse me of disliking women myself, then let her come at me I'll roast her right back ok, OK
