Good review of Anita Sarkeesian's Damsel in Distress Part 2

I found a review on GameInformer of Anita Sarkeesian's second video on the Damsel In Distress Trope which I thought did a very fair review of her video.

The review can be found here.

Here are some quotes from the review which I believe are good constructive criticism:

"Unfortunately, she does not plunge any deeper with her new video. By going for a “systemic, big picture perspective,” Sarkeesian touches upon many examples but does not explain well enough for the video to be anything more than introductory level. "

"The character is being detained along with other men, women and children in a facility and all are forced to strip and shower against their will. There are other moments later in the video where Sarkeesian takes snippets from games and points to them as badly written tropes, when really they are simply taken out of context. "

"She is good at identifying where these tropes are used but is not telling her audience why these specific examples of the trope are bad (if at all) or why they are used. This same tactic of listing follows her explanation of damsel in refrigerator.

Unfortunately, when she does go into analysis she provides no concrete examples."

"it is disappointing that the videos are just an introductory-level 25 minutes. Sarkeesian does a great job pointing out how widespread each trope is, although some examples are grossly out of context or oversimplified. She does not take into account cultural differences in Japanese and Western games."

The review did not attack her intelligence, views, nor her personally, something which I find quite common in anti-feminist writing, but did a fair job in dissecting and laying out good and bad points in her video series. I think that this review is good criticism and that if she wishes to improve what she is doing (which I hope she does) she should try to improve in some of the areas that were written here.

When giving an example, she should go intot he example, not simply list it as an example. This is a very key point in persuasive writing; if you have evidence you must explain how it is relevant. She simply lists things as evidence but does not explain the background stories behind them and how they are truely endorsing sexism.
