This paper explores and investigates the myriad of ways that video game narratives get modded post-play for feminist purposes (intentionally and unintentionally).

I would like to know your thoughts, and discuss the paper. Before writing a reply with your thoughts, I would recommend to go through the whole paper. (It also has annotations at the end with sources)

>looks at the backlash against the story only mode for ME3 as sexist instead of the same backlash that any developer that fucks up and pisses off the fanbase gets.

>Doesn't even mention the fact that Anita is a complete fraud and casts her in a light that she is completely innocent and wasn't asking for a backlash when she was spitting half truths about half of each of her videos.

other than the bullshit about ME3, and the anita bullshit, it's a well written paper, and makes enough sense, but the fact that the writer decided to focus on these two incidents for the first two sections of the paper discredits 2/3 of the paper.
