The Colbert Report (Comedy Central, 2014)

“Anita Sarkeesian: For me, the big picture has always been culture change, and pop culture was just a vehicle and a medium through which cultural change can happen or it can be influenced by; so it’s not actually about video games. But it’s about video games, right?”

“Why are […] female characters in combat roles wearing high-heels? With all the fighting, running and climbing these women have to do, dressing them in high-heels is clearly a decision rooted in sexualized aesthetic pleasure rather than believability.”

“There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That's because sexism is prejudice + power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society.”

Damsel in Distress: Part 1 (Mar 7, 2013)
Tropes vs. Women in Video Games (Feminist Frequency, 2013 - 2015)

“The mystical pregnancy is one of the tropes that I loathe the most because while other tropes represent women in stereotypical ways, this one hits us on a biological level.”

The Mystical Pregnancy (Jul 28, 2011)
Tropes vs. Women in Video Games (Feminist Frequency, 2013 - 2015)

“We can trace the woman as reward trope all the way back the beginning of the medium itself as […] upon successful completion of many arcade games players were rewarded with a related smooch of victory trope, so named for the kiss the hero received as a reward for rescuing a kidnapped princess. Sometimes the prize is blatant as with the standard hero reward in which the king will give his daughter to the hero. On other occasions it's taken a step further by employing the parallel of sex for victory or rescue sex trope.”

Women as Reward (Aug 31, 2015)
Tropes vs. Women in Video Games (Feminist Frequency, 2013 - 2015)

“It gets worse and worse, it reinforces this idea of women as sexual objects, right; there's this idea of women as playthings for their amusement… [that] we are not meant to be treated with respect.”

What It Feels Like to Be a Gamergate Target (ABC News, 2015)

“Since mobile, indie and retro inspired games are built on a legacy of inequality in the medium the new wave of 80s and 90s nostalgia has brought with it a resurrection of the worst of the old-school damsel in distress stereotypes. Indeed, many of these new titles essentially function as love letters to the trope as a way of paying homage to classic games of years gone by.”

“Geraldine Doogue: I'm intrigued by Anita saying she had to learn about systems. You had to learn about the sociology of systems and structural change, and that was obviously quite a journey for you.Anita Sarkeesian: Yeah, absolutely. I sort of joke about how it was the most liberating thing that ever happened to me, and also the most frustrating for everyone around me. Cause, like, when you start learning about systems, everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic, and you have to point it all out to everyone all the time. So there's a good year of my life where I was the most obnoxious person to be around. And then you settle into it, you start to understand, like, oh people have been living within these systems, and it was just sort of a liberating moment for me. You learn how to pick and choose your battles and that sort of thing.”
