Sure, the many problematic sexist tropes used to depict women in games are worth exploring. So too, apparently, are tropes vs men in games (enough to merit a bona-fide indidgogo fundraiser.) https://kotaku.com/these-guys-made-a-list-about-sexism-against-men-in-vide-5918217 But what about Orcs? Some jokers (or maybe actual Orcs!) have put together this draft kickstarter page to raise money for a film about all the problematic ways Orcs are depicted in games. Of course, this is a draft—it seems… unlikely that something like this would actually get approved by Kickstarter.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5918603","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); WIT’ YER HELP I, WARLORD GROMUG, WILL KONSTRUKT A 5 VIDEO SERIEZ KALLED “TROPPZ vs DA ORKZ IN VIDYA GAMES”, WOT WILL ECKSPLORE GREENSKIN CHARACKTER KLICHES THRU DA HISTRY O’ DA GAME MANUFAKTORING.

Well, until I saw the bio for the project creator, z16 ทางเข้า “Warlord Gromug,” which crosses into mean-town by more directly going after Sarkeesian: Warlord Gromug is an ork warboss and socio-economic spectator who has an over-inflated sense of self-entitlement. He uses his meagre z16 following to launch ill-fated attacks against Imperium space, as well as providing an important and fresh insight into modern pop culture. His videos are used as educational tools in classrooms and are screened at conferences and film festivals [citation needed]. He claims to speak internationally and lots of other things that appear to have no basis in truth. Sigh. Guys, you had me laughing despite myself, but you just had to overstep, didn’t you? Of course you did. Oh, well. The first part was funny. Tropes vs. Da Orkz in Vidya Gamez [Kickstarter – Though this will likely be taken down pretty soon.] Thanks, Max.
