  • Tropes vs. Women in Video Games est une série de vidéos YouTube créée par Anita Sarkeesian et examinant les différences de genre dans les jeux vidéo. La série a été financée via le financement participatif et a attiré l'attention du public lorsque sa campagne Kickstarter a déclenché une vague de harcèlement sexiste contre Sarkeesian. Diffusée sur la chaîne FeministFrequency entre mars 2013 et avril 2017, la série comporte dix-huit épisodes. Elle aborde les tropes liés aux femmes dans les jeux vidéo, et critique les jeux qui utilisent des personnages féminins uniquement comme intrigues. Sarkeesian est d'avis que la plupart des jeux vidéo s'adressent à un public d'hommes hétérosexuels, notamment en mettant en vedette principalement des personnages jouables masculins et des personnages féminins sexualisés. Elle donne également des exemples de personnages féminins qu'elle considère positifs. (fr)
  • Tropes vs. Women in Video Games is a YouTube video series created by Anita Sarkeesian examining gender representation in video games. The series was financed via crowdfunding, and came to widespread attention when its Kickstarter campaign triggered a wave of online harassment against Sarkeesian, causing her to flee her home at one point. Released on the channel Feminist Frequency between March 2013 and April 2017, the series consists of eighteen episodes. The series explores and critiques the tropes used to represent women in video games. Sarkeesian argues that most video games cater to a straight male audience, such as by featuring primarily male playable characters and objectifying female characters. She also highlights examples of video games that feature more well-rounded representations of women. Critical response to the series was generally positive. (en)
  • Тропы против женщин в видеоиграх (англ. Tropes Vs. Women in Video Games) — серия видеороликов, созданных феминисткой Анитой Саркисян и опубликованных на YouTube. Сериал затрагивает использование устоявшихся гендерных стереотипов о женщинах в видеоиграх. Его создание финансировалось за счёт краудфандинговой компании, запущенной на Kickstarter. Сериал привлёк внимание широкой общественности после того, как Саркисян стала жертвой массовой травли и преследований на почве сексистской ненависти. Сериал выходил на канале FeministFrequency с марта 2013 по апрель 2017 года, он включает 18 серий. В своём сериале, Саркисян приводит в пример и критикует устоявшиеся женские образы в видеоиграх, которые ориентируются на гетеросексуальную мужскую аудиторию. Она также затрагивает проблему полового дисбаланса в играх в пользу мужских персонажей и злоупотребление сексуальной объективации женских персонажей. Критике подвергаются в основном американские и японские игры. Саркисян приводит и положительные примеры видеоигр, с правильной по её мнению репрезентацией женских персонажей. На протяжении выпуска сериала, Саркисян стала предметом критики, ненависти и травли со стороны сторонников геймергейта и даже была вынуждена покинуть свой дом из-за поступавших угроз физической расправы. Западная пресса в целом положительно отозвалась о сериале, хотя он подвергался и критике. Журналисты заметили, что негативная оценка была в целом «заглушена» и дискредитирована неконструктивными и личностными оскорблениями в адрес Саркисян. (ru)

  • This video examines "Women as Background Decoration", a trope where sexually objectified female non-playable characters serve as titillating set dressing or as minimally interactive props for sex or violence, generally to add an "edgy, gritty or racy" aspect to the game world. (en)
  • The first in a series of videos on positive female characters, this installment discusses the Scythian from Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. (en)
  • This installment examines the "Dude in Distress" twist on the damsel trope and "ironic sexism" in retro-inspired modern games. It then discusses games and concepts that deconstruct the traditional damsel formula. (en)
  • This video covers the "Ms. Male Character" trope, in which female characters are merely variants of established male characters with stereotypical female identifiers, such as Ms. Pac-Man. It further discusses the "Smurfette Principle", where stereotypical feminine traits are all that distinguish token female characters within diverse male groups. (en)
  • This installment discusses the dearth of female stock enemies and multiplayer characters in games. Where they do exist, they are often set apart through sexualization and stereotypical identifiers, though other games present them on comparable footing to males. (en)
  • An addendum to the previous episode, this video focuses on the use of women as rewards for exchanging real money in the context of downloadable content and pre-order incentives. (en)
  • This episode explores the ways games exoticize indigenous or "tribal" characters with long-standing racist and sexist stereotypes. (en)
  • In this episode, Sarkeesian argues that video games often objectify female protagonists by sexualizing their buttocks via camera angles and costume choices; in contrast, male protagonists' buttocks are typically de-emphasized or hidden by clothing and other "Strategic Butt Coverings". (en)
  • This video explores "dark and edgy" variants of the Damsel in Distress trope in 21st-century video games, such as the "disposable woman", the "mercy killing" and the "woman in the refrigerator", which debase female characters to motivate or empower the male protagonist. (en)
  • This video discusses how games' character animation often sexualizes females; this is one way games are typically designed around the male gaze. (en)
  • This episode discusses various incarnations of the pervasive "Women as Reward" trope, which presents women or their bodies as rewards for game actions. Sarkeesian argues that the trope, which caters to a presumed straight male audience, is part of a pattern of male sexual entitlement in the wider culture. (en)
  • This video discusses how female characters tend to have similarly slender, conventionally attractive physiques, compared to the much wider range of male body shapes. (en)
  • Continuing the series of videos on positive female characters, this installment discusses Jade from Beyond Good & Evil. (en)
  • This video discusses the sexualized outfits often worn by female game characters, and explores the differences between sexualization and empowerment. (en)
  • This episode explores the limited roles games generally assign to female sidekicks. (en)
  • This episode explores several ancient tropes that present femaleness as inherently threatening: "Grotesquely Female" characters, whose female traits are repulsive; the "Sinister Seductress", whose sexuality is dangerous; and characters who combine both tropes. (en)
  • This episode focuses on variants of the "Women as Background Decoration" trope that combine both sexualization and violence in the portrayal of female characters, often in order to paint more significant male characters as brutal or villainous. (en)
