What Is A Web Series: And Why I Like Them

In this new world of storytelling, where masses of creators are looking for an audience, they need only to look for a fragmented audience, audiences of one-on-one with a computer, laptop, iPad, or smartphone. You are not going to create a viral audience, you are going connect with an audience one view at a time and hopefully in the process have endearing conversations with an audience member like Vlogger- @Listersmate2 (YouTube channel), that has an understanding of what is a web series, and why he likes them. If you are a new web series creator just striking out in the art of online storytelling, this video will give you a place to start to gain an understanding of how and why people watch a web series. This video is charming, informative, insightful and comes from the HEART. Your personal connection with your audience will become just as important as the story itself. Being able to talk directly to the creators of a story is the most powerful component of being a web series audience, and one that "Hollywood" hasn't quite grasp yet; but they will. Storytelling has changed forever. Thank you @Listersmate2 for an enchanting conversation.

Tropes vs Women in Video Games

Content Warning: This educational episode contains graphic sexual and violent game footage.

In this episode we explore the Women as Background Decoration trope which is the subset of largely insignificant non-playable female characters whose sexuality or victimhood is exploited as a way to infuse edgy, gritty or racy flavoring into game worlds. These sexually objectified female bodies are designed to function as environmental texture while titillating presumed straight male players. Sometimes they're created to be glorified furniture but they are frequently programmed as minimally interactive sex objects to be used and abused.

Women as Background Decoration: Part 2 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games
This is the second episode exploring the Women as Background Decoration trope in video games. In this installment we expand our discussion to examine how sexualized female bodies often occupy a dual role as both sexual playthings and the perpetual victims of male violence.

Female Game Developer's response to Tropes vs Women
As a female game developer, I give my take on Anita Sarkeesian's Tropes vs. Women video series.

I noticed a lot of response videos pick apart Anita's research or take issue with her raising a lot of money and blocking comments. I don't have a problem with any of those things... but I think that the things she's implying about game developers can be hurtful and offensive. The videos don't get to the root of the problem, which is the gender imbalance in game development. I give my thoughts on that and my own experiences.
