Hey there, and welcome back to another video.
This one’s a big one. We’re looking at sexualisation in Xenoblade 2 and analysing the extent to which it’s in the game, why that may be, and all that good stuff.
Here are various sources/things for you to look up, that I either used in my own research, or that you just might find interesting -
Body Horror article: pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/12/the-body-horror-of-xenoblade-chronicles-2.html
Some of the comments responding to this article: n4g.com/news/2131576/the-body-horror-of-xenoblade-chronicles-2
Laura Mulvey’s ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’: https://www.asu.edu/courses/fms504/total-readings/mulvey-visualpleasure.pdf
Article on sexualisation in video games: mcvuk.com/development/lets-talk-about-sexualisation-in-video-games
Masatsugu Saito on character design: nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/December/Masatsugu-Saito-discusses-main-character-design-in-Xenoblade-Chronicles-2-part-two-1319322.html
Boogie2988/Anita Sarkeesian video: youtube.com/watch?v=3qEwRZ0PziA&t=1s
JK businesses: japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/09/28/national/npa-survey-jk-biz-involving-school-aged-girls-finds-114-outlets-operation-nationwide/#.WqBQh-jFJhE
And here’s the article I mention at the end, to do with Dahlia: thegg.net/opinion-editorial/xenoblade-chronicles-2-vs-swjs-a-take-on-the-sjw-outcry-over-dahlia-and-pyras-sexy-looks
A very interesting, albeit quite Brit-centric site about women’s issues through history: historyofwomen.org/sitemap.html
Some interesting articles in a similar vein: psychologytoday.com/blog/out-the-darkness/201208/why-men-oppress-women
historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnint6.html
usatoday.com/story/news/2017/03/01/2017-womens-history-month/98247518
I'm lucky enough to have a very talented friend called Joe who made my channel logo, my intro, and my outro for me. He's the best. You can check him out here: twitter.com/steakjoe
I’d also like to thank Kathryn for her invaluable advice and literary know-how. She’s an absolute gem. If you’re into books, you’d be missing a trick if you don’t give her a watch: youtube.com/user/Kathryn003
If you fancy it, liking, commenting and subscribing would help both me and the channel out, and get more people listening to the absolute nonsense I've been spouting in these videos.
