Now I am not sure how many women here play video games but there is a fairly popular feminist on YT that makes videos regarding the portrayal of women in media and last year she started what is known as a kickstarter campaign to raise money to make a series of YT videos specifically regarding their portrayal of video games. She managed to get $158,922 for it.
Her most recent video is called "Women as Background Decoration: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games"

She has gotten lots of flack for it for things such as not being truthful/accurate in her views. So I am curious for those who do play or even don't play video games what your thoughts are.
For the record I like her for the most part and do think she brings up some good points, however she does misrepresent some things which bug me.
You can find the rest of her videos to her series here: http://ift.tt/1lL8aYR
Funny enough, when my ex gf would play the Grand Theft Auto games killing hookers was one of her favorite things to do lol.
