I think this might be a case of “This is already 2 hours long I gotta stop somewhere”, though to counter my own point this is Shaun and he usually isn’t worried about video length.
Well exactly, I love Shaun but that video had a minimum of 30 minutes of self indulgent gotchas that he could of repurposed and it’s like my dude pick a lane, are you a video essayist or a more eloquent badempanada/theKavernacle drama recap youtuber?
If he wants to make a 2 hour video of him running circles around those freaks then I’ll watch it and love it but if you’re going to talk about the objectification of women in video games, then do the literal bare minimum and talk about feminism, objectification impact acutely and chronically on women and omg put the fucking game studio into actual context.
It’s south korea where a huge feminist movement specifically rejecting men over violent misogyny is taking place. Is there nothing he can think to say about that cultural context and how it MIGHT inform the games design?
i agree with basically everything you said but for what it’s worth 4B is not a “huge feminist movement” it’s pretty fringe and completely polluted with TERF and colonial centric ideas unfortunately. for sure though missed opportunity by Shaun to go into some detail about the exaggerated patriarchal hellscape that is occupied Korea. missing that cultural context and going very light on general feminist context is a fairly big L. does make it feel like more of a well-written drama rundown than a developed analysis of any kind.
Oh well that’s wank, kinda tracks for shit korea tho tbh.
Yeah I dunno, he’s had some great takes on trans rights and such so I was kinda waiting to hear a intelligent and educated context to the situation on this but no 😐
