Del två av Women as Background Decoration

Mer Tropes vs Women in Video Games

För några månader sedan släppte Anita Sarkeesian från Feminist Frequency ett avsnitt i sin Tropes vs Women in Video Games-serie där hon tittade närmare på hur kvinnor användes som objektifierande bakgrundsdekoration i olika spel.

Natten till i dag så släppte hon den andra delen runt detta ämne och det kan beskådas ovan.
This is the second episode exploring the Women as Background Decoration trope in video games. In this installment we expand our discussion to examine how sexualized female bodies often occupy a dual role as both sexual playthings and the perpetual victims of male violence.

The Women as Background Decoration trope which is the subset of largely insignificant non-playable female characters whose sexuality or victimhood is exploited as a way to infuse edgy, gritty or racy flavoring into game worlds. These sexually objectified female bodies are designed to function as environmental texture while titillating presumed straight male players. Sometimes they’re created to be glorified furniture but they are frequently programmed as minimally interactive sex objects to be used and abused.
