Re: Feminist analysis of Halo 2

In Response To: Re: Feminist analysis of Halo 2 (Louis Wu)


: She's made videos before - I think she's pretty clearly female. And yes, she
: posts here.

: I wasn't being not-kind at all; I enjoy reading what she writes, even when I
: don't agree with all of it. (I can buy quite a bit of it - but there's a
: level of feminism that makes me roll my eyes, and occasionally it pops up
: in her writing. Maybe that's a weakness in my own worldview, I dunno.)

To be honest, this piece wasn't that great. She essentially just told the story of Halo 2 and hardly included any own remarks. And the few remarks she did have were eye-rollable (It's a word, look it up.). Gravemind being a rape monster, Tartarus wanting to rape Miranda, phallus-like tentacles. That's just the result of looking for stuff that simply isn't there to make a point.
The only thing I can somewhat agree with is that Miranda is portrayed as a weak person, making questionable decisions. But I think that has more to do with the fact that she steamrolled through ranks because of her father and thus isn't as experiences. That hardly has anything to do with her being a female.

But yeah, like I said, its almost as if she wants something in Halo 2 to be sexist just so she can write an article about it.
