Does the game industry still hate women? | Anita Sarkeesian’s Reboot speech

Anita Sarkeesian of Feminist Frequency made her mark on the game industry 12 years ago with her series of videos dubbed Tropes vs. Women, about the depiction of women in video games. Back then, her conclusion was the game industry was sexist, or at least its content produced mostly by men was less than satisfactory when it came to how women were represented and portrayed in popular triple-A games.

At Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, Sarkeesian gave a keynote talk catching up with the game industry’s report card. It was pretty similar to a talk she gave a couple of years ago and she ultimately concluded, “We won” because there were just fewer glaring problems with the state of the industry. For her work, she was harassed, received death threats, and worse.
