Recently Overwatch released a new character, citing complaintsof a lack of ‘body diversity’.  Now, Idon’t like the character but that’s for a variety of reasons and that’ll becoming at a later date.  No, what really botheredme was this argument and the implications for a common trend in representation of women in video games.

To add some context, I’m a gay woman and I want to be a game dev.  I’ve loved video games and been a gamer for close to 15 years.  And I really feel there are pressing issues with the arguments for ‘representation of women in video games’.  I’ve made similar rants about this general topic before and you can find my most successful one here.

If you’re concerned with women, body types, representation, etc, I suggest you give me a fair shake and read all the way to the end.  More under the break.

Persepolis, Fantastic Mr Fox, Ernest and Celestine, The Wind Rises, HTTYD 2, Song of the Sea ect.  

This is what I meant when I said, "reminder why bh6 won over kaguya and song of the sea" I didn’t mean BH6 what the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life or that I think Kaguya and Song of the Sea are flawless. As said above, these mainstream awards don’t "even recognize all the amazing films that weren’t even nominated because of the Academy’s limited viewpoint on animated art". When these films are acknowledged they are usually treated terribly, often like by being animated and not being made my Disney the films are automatically some sort of knockoff not worth seeing

I’ve decided to release my custom brushes to the public for $5! They are three brushes that I use for my current illustrations that mimic Dry media. I hope you give them a try and thank you for supporting my work!
