Tch... I'm not saying that I certainly don't think there's issues with how women are portrayed in video games, but I really wonder just what some lady who's doing these tropes against women videos thinks the "ideal" video game lady should be.

She actually mentioned Kaya from Devil Summoner because you have to fight her after she's possessed by a Raidou from a different time period. Kaya ends up fine and dandy after all is said and done. She really should bring up scenarios where, if it had been a young man instead, she wouldn't be bringing it up. I wish she'd focus more on situations that happen in games just because the character is a woman.

I really didn't appreciate how, in Haunting Ground, everyone was after Fiona's uterus. The game was so much fun how you had to solve puzzles and have Hewie help you get out of the castle, but then there's character's chasing after you because you look like a "dolly", she's jealous because she can't have a baby like you, and then of course there's the fella who is actually your uncle who wants to forcibly impregnate you so he can enter the baby's body since his is failing.

Is it the FEAR games that have Alma (or something like that)? I know that there's a part where the male character is actually raped by her, but it certainly isn't presented in a way that's "sexy" like some women's situations are. I'm pretty sure the scene has the male character drifting in and out and you only get an idea of what's happening.

Don't listen to the crack pot of controversy. On her first episode, she sites the chick from double dragons neon as a bad damsel in distress.
This is a big spoiler though I figure if you haven't played it yet, then you won't but this is how Double Dragon Neon ends.

Unpause at about 11:03, and that is the final boss btw.
