11 - Gaming Girls Part 2: From GamerGate to Bloodborne

Following on from Part 1, in this episode we discuss the role of sex in games (oh yeah) including GamerGate (oh no) and the possibility of well-drawn female characters that are sexy AND have opinions, values and their own plots. Then we move onto storytelling, especially one girl's beautiful story arc (you'll laugh, you'll cry, you may fall in love with another girl, you'll definitely shoot zombies). Finally, we make it to a post-gender gaming experience with one stunning and very difficult title. Featured games: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt The Last of Us Bloodborne Remember: we are feminist game hunters and feminist game hunters must hunt!
