All the Slender Ladies: Body Diversity in Video Games Feminist Frequency 2016-09-01 | Please watch: "The Courageous Life of Ida B. Wells #OrdinaryWomen" youtube.com/watch?v=7Ip-SEYvRTA-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Subscribe for more videos. Support feminist media criticism and keep our videos free, donate today: http://www.feministfrequency.com/donateThis episode examines the very limited range of female body types commonly seen in games, contrasting this with the much wider range of physiques that male characters frequently possess. We then illustrates that, when female characters appear who do have a body type that is notably different from the slender physique that games establish as the standard, these bodies are sometimes presented as a joke, or as a twisted transgression of social standards and expectations. We examine how this limited range extends to the age of female characters as well, before highlighting a few examples of games that have positive representations of women with different body types and women who are older. This is the fifth episode in season two of Tropes vs. Women in Video Games. For more on the format changes accompanying season two, please see our announcement here: kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games/posts/1469466Full transcript, links and resources for this episode: http://wp.me/p7K8cI-a1VABOUT THE SERIESThe Tropes vs Women in Video Games project aims to examine the plot devices and patterns most often associated with female characters in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective. This series will include critical analysis of many beloved games and characters, but remember that it is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of it’s more problematic or pernicious aspects. This video series is created by Anita Sarkeesian and the project was funded by 6968 awesome backers on Kickstarter.comGAMES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEOverwatch (2016)Ultra Street Fighter IV (2014)League of Legends (2009)Dota 2 (2013)Batman: Arkham City (2011)Dishonored (2012)Enslaved (2010)Remember Me (2013)Heavenly Sword (2007)Final Fantasy X (2001)The 3rd Birthday (2011)Devil May Cry 4 (2008)Splatterhouse (2010)Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (2006)Lollipop Chainsaw (2012)Blades of Time (2012)Bayonetta (2010)Wet (2009)Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008)Primal (2003)Fat Princess (2009)Dead Rising (2006)Metal Gear Solid IV (2008)The Last of Us (2013)Life Is Strange (2015)Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (2015)Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II (2004)
FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA | FFR 254 Feminist Frequency 2024-06-27 | Kat and A.C. ~*witnessed*~ the fifth installment in George Miller’s apocalypse epic, FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA and… we found it completely unnecessary. We know that movies about women are not by default inherently feminist (Anita tweeted about this specifically related to Fury Road back in 2015), but it’s always a bummer when we’re more invested in the male characters in a movie centered around a female protagonist. Then, we played another round of our “What’s Wrong With You?” guessing game, this time with a Pride Month theme (of sorts).Fury Road tweets: https://x.com/femfreq/status/600778563202129920Find Kat:- twitter.com/kat_ex_machina- letterboxd.com/katexmachinaFind AC:- instagram.com/aclamberty - letterboxd.com/aclambertyFind Us:- Join our Patreon: patreon.com/femfreq- NEW: Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/femfreq- Our Website: feministfrequency.com- Subscribe to FFR on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2t4wu4I- Twitter: twitter.com/femfreq- Instagram: instagram.com/femfreq
SECONDS | FFR 253 Feminist Frequency 2024-06-12 | Who’s in the mood for a little June Gloom? We finally watched John Frankenheimer’s 1966 film SECONDS, starring Rock Hudson, in a feature segment we’re calling “Retro Featurism.” Kat and A.C. wonder what its Frankenstein-esque plotline in which viewers could find gay or trans messaging, says about the current moment where stories like POOR THINGS and SEVERANCE (and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming THE BRIDE) are resonating with audiences. Plus, the return of our celebrity guessing game “What’s Wrong With Me?”!!!Discussed in this episode:- Fortnightly Freq-Out episode about the documentary ROCK HUDSON: ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWED: feministfrequency.com/video/ffr-presents-fortnightly-freq-outs-mini-ep-1-with-special-guest-a-c-lamberty- FFR “Machos: Fully Loaded” episode about mental health vis-a-vis masculinity in media: feministfrequency.com/video/machos-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown-machos-fully-loaded-episode-4-ffr-229- The fascinating life story of “Bride of Frankenstein” Elsa Lanchester: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsa_LanchesterNote: In this episode, Kat erroneously and incorrectly uses the term “plus sized” in description.

THE FALL GUY | FFR 252 Feminist Frequency 2024-06-05 | In this week’s episode, Kat holds court on the movie that seemed uniquely designed just for her (which she ultimately found fairly disappointing): THE FALL GUY. Directed by longtime stunt performer David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, A.C. and Kat predominantly found the movie… “cute.” Which is fine! But Kat was really hoping for a lot more about the love of stunts, all things considered. Then, A.C. debuts a new, extremely unhinged game entitled “Nightmare Blunt Rotation,” and Kat has a lot to answer for.Find Kat:- twitter.com/kat_ex_machina- letterboxd.com/katexmachinaFind AC:- instagram.com/aclamberty - letterboxd.com/aclambertyFind Us:- Join our Patreon: patreon.com/femfreq- Our Website: feministfrequency.com- Subscribe to FFR on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2t4wu4I- Twitter: twitter.com/femfreq- Instagram: instagram.com/femfreq- NEW: Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/femfreq

CHALLENGERS | FFR 250 Feminist Frequency 2024-05-16 | Join Kat and A.C. for a discussion of one of their most hotly anticipated movies of 2024, Luca Guadagnino’s CHALLENGERS starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. The FFR hosts were mixed on their reactions, but both saw opportunities where it could have ascended to greater heights than it ultimately did—in particular with the underwritten female character in the middle of the film’s central love triangle. While we love the craft accomplishments of this movie, we can’t help but wonder what Paul Verhoeven might have done with this story.Plus, we check in on this spring’s film festivals, from the recently debuted Los Angeles Festival of Movies presented by Mubi to the 77th annual festival in Cannes, which just kicked off.Discussed in this episode:- Los Angeles Festival of Movies: lafestivalofmovies.org- FFR "Cyberpunk Summer" episode on Strange Days w/ Emily St. James: feministfrequency.com/video/emily-st-james-explains-why-strange-days-is-kathryn-bigelows-best-movie-cyberpunk-summer-ep-9Find Kat:- twitter.com/kat_ex_machina- letterboxd.com/katexmachinaFind AC:- instagram.com/aclamberty - letterboxd.com/aclambertyFind Us:- Join our Patreon: patreon.com/femfreq- Our Website: feministfrequency.com- Subscribe to FFR on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2t4wu4I- Twitter: twitter.com/femfreq- Instagram: instagram.com/femfreq- NEW: Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/femfreq
