This 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!

Power Fantasy, Male Objectification and Lady-Fanservice

In this video, I explore the treatment of male characters and their equivalent female counterparts, and the way things one audience happens not to like are often confused with objective mistakes. I also strongly imply that pandering to feminism is literally the only way to make games better, so make sure to say I do that in your takedowns in the comments!

hey, I think you forgot to mention me the backer acknowledgments

Hbomb

The acknowledgements are spread across three videos, the other two are coming soon!

Siegfried Pinzer

okay, you may should add somewhere that the acknowledgments are spread between videos, to avoid future misunderstanding

What's that in the tweets you cited about Kratos' new design? Someone liking a beard! By your logic, dot dot dot!

Hbomb

Good idea. I'll add that in the description now!

Great 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.

Also 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.

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