▻http://africasacountry.com/on-that-youtube-drama-series-about-five-single-women-in-accra-ghanaFor the last few weeks social #MEDIA has been abuzz with comments about a new web series set in Accra called #An_African_City.

Anita Sarkeesian cherche à financer son projet de réalisation de films sur la représentation des femmes dans les jeux vidéos sur kickstarter.
►http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games
Anita Sarkeesian is a feminist pop culture critic who produces an ongoing web series of video commentaries from a feminist/fangirl perspective at ►http://FeministFrequency.com
I love playing video games but I’m regularly disappointed in the limited and limiting ways women are represented. This video project will explore, analyze and deconstruct some of the most common tropes and stereotypes of female characters in games. The series will highlight the larger recurring patterns and conventions used within the gaming industry rather than just focusing on the worst offenders. I’m going to need your help to make it happen!
As a gamer, a pop culture critic and a fan, I’m always working to balance my enjoyment of media while simultaneously being critical of problematic gender representations. With my video web series Feminist Frequency, I look at the way women are portrayed in mass media and the impact they have on our culture and society.
