Power Fantasy, Male Objectification, and Lady-Fanservice
Added 2016-08-21 00:33:36 +0000 UTCThis video's been worked on for quite a bit and eventually became two videos, the second of which will probably be out sometime next month.
Considering it became two videos, there's a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor I'll put up as a bonus thing soon!
I did a poll on Twitter asking what I should do, and people seemed interested in an analysis of Undertale, so that's what I'm working on next. It should be up fairly soon once I've had a chance to figure out what hasn't already been said!
Please note the backer list is split between this video and the next two planned for this month, so if you backed me in July and are wondering where your name is, the answer is, it's IN THE FUTURE!

Undertale is a fantastic game, and I'm glad to hear you're doing an analysis of it. Godspeed.

2016-08-27 21:47:53 +0000 UTCAlso I love bayonetta, as a character. I haven't played the game yet because I'm a hack/fraud and I dont have a console that runs either of the games. But, I looked through the artbook that my roomie had of the first game it is some really incredible design. Mari Shimazaki is an incredible artist.
2016-08-21 10:33:05 +0000 UTCYou done'd it again hbomb, another interesting video.
2016-08-21 10:25:33 +0000 UTCUgh yes the Bayonetta stuff! I'm always v wary of '''empowering female sexuality''' when it's written by straight men (which is almost all of the time).

2016-08-21 09:26:00 +0000 UTCGreat video. I do have a concern that people will latch on to how Bayonetta was designed by a woman named Mari Shimazaki. It seems like the sort of thing that might get a lot of "Actually"s even though Ms. Shimazaki did the design with imput from Hideki Kamiya (the character's creator), and the goal may very well have been using a woman's perspective to create something that would appeal to men "but from a woman's perspective." Sorry if this is too much for a new, minor pledger to write.
2016-08-21 02:25:36 +0000 UTCMy useful contribution is that the "bayonetta is empowered" argument always makes me think of the end gif of this <a href="http://www.harkavagrant.com/nonsense/strongfemalessmall.gif" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.harkavagrant.com/nonsense/strongfemalessmall.gif</a>

2016-08-21 01:12:43 +0000 UTCWhat's that in the tweets you cited about Kratos' new design? Someone liking a beard! By your logic, dot dot dot!
